Exercise and Brain Health in Postmenopausal Women: A Review of Cognitive Benefits, Mechanisms, and Neurodegeneration Prevention.
Key takeaways
This review summarizes why exercise may protect thinking skills in women after menopause. It describes the hormone, blood flow and inflammation changes that happen at menopause. The authors gathered existing ideas rather than running a study, so there are no new results. The topic is brain health, not kidney health.
