Exercise

You’ll start hearing this a lot. Exercise is the best way to slow PD progression.
Join a gym, do yoga, boxing, dance, etc. PD specific exercise classes work better for me.  Even if you’re not feeling so great, go to the class anyway because just getting out into the social setting is good for your mental health.

I'm more likely to have an excuse to avoid exercise than go do something so the PD specific groups are smaller and more supportive to go even if I'm not feeling so good.  Going to a gym tends to be a negative experience for me, too many "A Type" exercise people saying things like "it hurts but it's a good hurt."
