Staying physically active
Staying physically active improves your physical health and may also help to improve your memory and slow down mental decline.
It also improves your mood, helps you sleep better, makes you feel good and provides opportunities for you to get out and meet other people.
The Alzheimer’s Society website has information about how physical activity can improve your quality of life and how to stay active at any stage of dementia. You can also read about people living with dementia who have benefitted from physical activity.
Walking for Health
Walking can improve the quality of life for people in all stages of dementia and their carers.
You can find information about ways to get walking and walking routes on the Stockport Council website.
