Pick up the pace — walking more quickly could help protect your brain and body from age-related illnesses. MR.Cole_Photographer/Getty Images Power walking could be the key to a long, healthy life, with a lower risk of dementia and disease. New research on "super movers" suggests their longevity secret is keeping a brisk pace after age 80. A neurologist shares how to walk your way to antiaging benefits in as little as 30 minutes a day. As a neurologist, Dr. Joe Verghese is all about finding creative strategies for a healthier brain — especially when it helps simplify his workout routine. "I don't always enjoy exercising, or the idea that I have to do it regularly," he told Business Insider. In pursuit of a healthier brain, he's tried everything from balance tests to ballroom dancing (after his studies found it may help stave off dementia).
