00:00The approach to Parkinson's patients must be holistic, it is important, for example, to inform patients and caregivers of how important physical activity is,
00:19especially in the early stages of Parkinson's disease, physical activity in the form of aerobic walks three times a week, 30-45 minutes, has a fundamental role, even comparable to the therapeutic effect of the drugs we take on a daily basis.
00:40Another fundamental aspect is to cure social interaction. Isolation and depression have a negative role and therefore family activity is important, which makes these patients participate in family life, but also in associative life,
01:00which allows our patients with Parkinson's disease to be together, to understand what can be done for the disease, but also to take care of other things, such as dance, theatrical activity, some forms of sport, as I said.
01:21But it has also been recently seen that listening to music, painting, has a significant impact on quality of life.
