Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s, there are a number of things that can be done to reduce the risk of developing the disease or to slow its progression.
One of the most important things that you can do to reduce your risk of Parkinson’s is to get regular exercise. Exercise has been shown to protect against a number of chronic diseases, including Parkinson’s. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
