New research shows that taking as few as 3,000 steps a day is associated with lower levels of harmful brain proteins and a significant reduction in cognitive decline for individuals showing early signs of Alzheimer's. The findings suggest that achievable daily activity levels—well below the traditional 10,000-step target—can provide meaningful neurological benefits.
