Parkinsons Disease


Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the nervous system, leading to progressive decline in motor and non-motor functions.

Impact of Gene Variants

About 10% to 15% of PD cases are genetic, with mutations in LRRK2, GBA, and SNCA genes increasing the risk.

Ways to Recognize Problems

PD symptoms vary, including tremors, muscle contractions, speech difficulties, balance issues, and limb stiffness.

Ways to Improve

Improvement strategies include regular exercise, balanced diet, and therapies like yoga and massage. These can help manage stress, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.
