This study was brought to you by the table tennis gang.

But on a serious note. This study is comparing people who are active and those that are not. Don't we have findings that a simple daily walk of about 7,000 steps tend to keep your brain young?

„Simple“

I agree that being active is important and good for you but depending on the circumstances its everything but simple.

I aspire to move a lot but the day being this active becomes easy will he the day. :)

I mean it can‘t get much simpler than walking 7000-10000 steps a day.

Yeah but then they might sweat a little bit, and god forbid that happen.
