Exercise Decreases T-Cell Activity and Inflammation

[jimcaster]

There are many studies demonstrating that exercise is good for people with Parkinson's disease, but not as many which attempt to explain why. In this study, researchers believe exercise decreases T-cell activity, which reduces inflammation and neurodegeneration. Whether they are right or not, I have a date with a treadmill in about an hour...

Exercise "reverses the upregulated T-cell activation pathways associated with PD." I don't have a clue what that means but okay, I guess.

Ha! Neither do I, but apparently it's a good thing. 😊

Exercise is one thing we know can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. That's why we at PCSUK we provide free exercises for people with Parkinson's across UK.
