EXERCISE CHANGES HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS

Here are some FACTS you should know about AGING:

• The more you sit, the quicker you decline
• Exercise increases blood flow to the brain
• Your brain is “plastic” which means it CAN rewire
• You CAN slow down the aging process 
• You CAN improve your Parkinson’s symptoms
• If you exercise (with INTENSITY) for one hour, you will gain 4-6 hours of benefits after (Total Healthworks, 2022).

Here are the KEYS to exercise:

• Must be INTENSE (that means getting breathless & out of your comfort zone)
• Must include some complex & difficult challenges
• Exercise for Parkinson’s can target:

Multitasking, rotation, posture, gait, balance (**all these things are also needed for aging adults)

THE FORMULA!

The Delay the Disease formula for success is HEARTRATE UP – BRAINWORK – CORE/STRENGTH

This formula has been proven repeatedly over the past 18 years by David Zid working with Parkinson’s and dementia. Why? 

Getting the heartrate UP is the KEY to neuroplasticity (changing the brain). It’s the key to getting more blood flow to the brain, which helps with cognition. It’s the key to creating new neural pathways to replace bad habits (think posture, small steps, arm swing while walking, etc.).

That extra hour of sleep.

Those healthy meals.

That gym session you didn’t skip. 

That walk you went on.

All are investments in your future self!

The more of those investments you make, the more your future self will thrive!
