Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease and the most common synucleinopathy. It is a multi-system disease with both motor and non-motor disorders, cause of suffering for patients and a burden for healthcare system. Due to the constantly increasing number of patients and still unknown disease-modifying treatment, it is necessary to look for an effective way to slow down the progression. The article explores factors influencing PD progression, focusing on physical activity, nutrition, cognitive stimulation, and medical management. It underscores the need for a multidimensional approach to address the complex nature of PD and offers insights into potential strategies for slowing down Parkinson’s disease progression.
