Natural aging predisposes all adults to some risk of neurological deficiency as the brain undergoes damage to nerve transmission, decreased cerebral blood flow, reduced cerebral cortex, and impaired cognitive functions. But could individuals who live a largely sedentary lifestyle be at a higher risk for cognitive decline? Some studies have even suggested a correlation between the propensity for Alzheimer's and the degree to which an individual's life can be considered sedentary.

How Mental Illness Might Be Linked
Let’s break down the spheres of influence on mental health. Nature vs. nurture has long been held as the key debate in diagnosing the origins of mental health concerns. Far from being one or the other, however, recent research suggests that they go hand in hand. Specifically, we’ll discuss biological conditions, how the environment can affect the mind, and if interactions between people have any correlation to future mental health problems.
