I read somewhere that balancing exercises can help against dementia!
Firstly I read too much!!
Now I do balancing exercises many of the days when I walk the dogs.
I let them off lead and then I stand on one foot and count to 45! I must look hilarious at times wobbling about.
One side is far easier than the other.
A friend also recently told me to put one foot in front of the other in a straight line and that sounded and looked so easy but is not.
As we age, our balance gets worse for some reason, and i think it is important to do some form of balance exercise as it could prevent falls in old age?
