Dear teachers, colleagues, and students,

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the brain.

The three typical symptoms are: tremors (shaking of the hands), rigidity in the limbs, and slow movement.

Currently, there is no medication that can cure it. Without active treatment, the disease can progress rapidly.

In addition to taking medication regularly, patients should also:

1. Eat well – maintain a balanced diet

2. Sleep well – ensure good quality sleep

3. Stay active – maintain a regular exercise routine

Parkinson’s patients should begin exercise therapy in the early stages of the disease, rather than waiting until it worsens.

The following daily brain-boosting exercises can slow disease progression and improve quality of life:

1. Stretching hands and legs

2. Rapid finger movements

3. Marching in place
