The American Medical Association clarified that the medical supplement Ginko Biloba, long-believed to have brain boosting and protective powers, does not assist the prevention of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Don’t worry, they gave a simple solution instead — walking!

Various researches show that consistent walking has positive mental effects. So much so that it can increase memory by approximately 50% in just 6 months. The challenge is to achieve sufficient levels, for which treadmill desks offer the perfect solution.

Studies suggest that walking also reduces stress, boosts mood, prevents mild depression and is more effective than the most widely prescribed medications for this condition. Walking throughout the day releases levels of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that affect mood. These are the same brain chemicals whose levels are targeted by antidepressant medications Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft.

Indeed a breakthrough because here we have a solution to a major illness and it does not require medication. TrekDesk (the manufacturer of the first affordable, full sized, adjustable workstation designed to fit an existing treadmill, allowing walking while working, weight loss without sweating and health enhancement) is busy spreading the message to 5 million Americans who suffer from the disease. In fact, after a century of laying stress on taking medicines, modern science has finally realized that a common sense approach of daily exercise and proper dietry selection is the secret to a long, happy and disease-free life.

Even the corporate world installed treadmill desks in the office because it cut health care costs and gave a boost to the productivity levels of the employees.
