John Pepper, a well-known figure in the PD community, has gained recognition for his remarkable journey in managing the condition. While he never directly responded to my assertion that his success is partly attributed to outdoor fast walking, my personal experience with hikes confirms its validity. The combination of physical exercise both motor and cognitive, along with exposure to natural light has proven to have a profoundly positive effect on improving PD symptoms.

An interesting article that named all aspects Farooqji!
