More on Motion and Parkinsons

I just wanted to add a few notes on my last post about Motion.  I know I didn't cover everything, but I just wanted to add a vital importance on joint health.  Most joints in our body are movable.  What makes them so freely movable is a slick fluid called Synovial fluid.  This synovium is slicker than ice, and allows the joint to move with ease.  This is vital for joint health.  Without it, the joint would degenerate quickly and become immobile.  What keeps this Synovial fluid continiously going?  The one and only real effect on joint health is MOTION.  Motion to our joints keeps the Synovial fluid flowing, keeping our joints freely movable, as well as providing the necessary nutrients to the surrounding tissues.

I also forgot to add Depression on the list of conditions that occur with lack of sensory input.  This is an overlooked condition that is not taken as serious as other neurological conditions, and sadly is mistreated.  It hasn't been overlooked by the medical profession, as we now see commercial after commercial and ad after ad. The number one prescribed drug in the U.S. are Anti-Depresents.  Drugs that have more side effects that actual results, and only attempt to relieve one of symptoms rather than treating the real problem.  But Depression usually just doesn't happen, but derives from other untreated conditions that inhibit ones sensory input- Mostly inhibiting Motion.

I also wanted to add a link about the recent research on Parkinson's and their results from exercise.
