Regular exercise linked with lower risk of Parkinson’s: Study
New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) Getting regular exercise such as cycling, walking, gardening, cleaning and participating in sports is associated with a lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in women, according to a study.
The research, published in the journal Neurology, found female participants who exercised the most had a 25 per cent lower rate of Parkinson’s disease when compared to those who exercised the least.
The finding only shows an association and does not prove that exercise lowers the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
