The idea here is that one embeds exercise as just part of a healthy lifestyle.
Ever wondered how exercise could change the life of someone with Parkinson's disease? This episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief' dives into that very question. Host Robert Rodgers chats with Dr. Daniel Corcos, a leading expert from the University of Illinois at Chicago, who shares his groundbreaking research on the subject. Dr. Corcos explains how exercise doesn't just benefit the general population but also significantly helps those battling Parkinson's.
It can ease symptoms like bradykinesia and tremors while boosting strength, flexibility, and balance. But what kind of exercise is best? Dr. Corcos' study involving 67 participants reveals that those who exercised at 80% of their maximum heart rate saw the most improvement. He recommends a mix of weight training, aerobics, and balance exercises. And for those who aren't fans of traditional workouts? Simple activities like walking or household chores can still make a big difference.
Tune in to find out more about how keeping active can transform life with Parkinson's.
