Aerobic Exercise and Healthy Nutrition as Neuroprotective Agents for Brain Health in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

[Farooqji]

Aerobic exercise (AE) as the activity using large muscle groups, rhythmic in nature (e.g., cycling, dancing, hiking, jogging, running, swimming, and walking) per se [27] may help in preventing cardiovascular disease, reducing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (i.e., HDL-C) and adipose tissue distribution, increasing insulin sensitivity, improving executive functions, enhancing response to psychosocial stressors, and even exerting a detrimental effect on depression

This paper is very interesting and really fits well with other research I have done in the year since my diagnosis. My only frustration is the all-too-frequent mention in studies like this of factors that show a "lower probability of developing PD." That is all well and good but ..... we already have PD. Here's hoping that more studies focus on ameliorating existing symptoms and slowing progression. This study does seem to have a good balance of both, which is helpful. Thanks for posting.
