ROCHESTER, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayoclinic.org/) study found that physical exercise and computer use may help protect against mild cognitive impairment (http://www.mayoclinic.org/mild-cognitive-impairment/), a disorder of the brain that affects nerve cells involved in thinking abilities. In previous studies, both physical exercise and cognitive activities (including computer use) were separately found to help reduce the risk of mild cognitive impairment. In this new study, the combination of these two activities appears to be even more beneficial. The study will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in Toronto on April 15.
