While Parkinson’s disease greatly undermines the quality of life as symptoms progress, ongoing research suggests that your risk might be modifiable. Now, a new study has identified an activity that could help halt symptoms.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological movement disorder triggered by a loss of dopamine. This hormone plays a role in sending messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. Although it’s not exactly clear why this happens, research suggests there are certain interventions that could help.
Whether you do a bit of pilates at home or go for a cycle outdoors, exercise has been linked to plentiful health benefits.
According to the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a new study has suggested that this simple activity could also help alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
