There’s a new incentive to get off the coach and hit the gym.

New research finds exercise can vastly reduce the risk for memory loss later in life.

A new study from Sweden followed nearly 200 women for almost five decades.

Those who were physically fit during their middle ages were nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia. 

Even if those women did ultimately suffer from dementia, the women who exercised developed memory problems a decade later than those who did not exercise as much.

Those less sedentary women suffered from dementia at age 90, rather than 79.
