An announcement from the Lewy Body Dementia Association: Exercise plays a crucial role in supporting individuals living with Lewy body dementia (LBD), by promoting muscle strength and improving balance, which may reduce the risk of falls. Exercise is also linked to improved mood and emotional well-being by boosting serotonin levels, helping to lessen common LBD symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and apathy.
