This is Ken Salter’s story:
It has been more than 12 years since, at the age of 46, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I have found exercise to be the best medicine.
A year or two after my diagnosis, I began cycling between 60 and 80 miles per week. I also worked out at the gym in group exercise classes five or six days for a total of about 15 hours of exercise per week. As a result, I suffered virtually no disease progression for eight years.
After moving from Los Angeles to an oceanfront home in San Clemente, I stopped cycling and replaced that activity with daily walks on the beach. I found that my disease began to rapidly progress.
