The #1 Thing You Can Do to Nourish Your Brain with Parkinson’s

Posted on August 6, 2017March 19, 2020 by Landtiser

I hear this all the time, “I already have to pee all the time, why would I drink more water?”

Consider this: by having enough liquid in our bowels, we can poo normally rather than having the large intestine pulling the toxins back into our body. Solving constipation reduces toxins then the liver can function better and the kidneys are not in overdrive. When toxins become diluted, it’s easier for the liver to cleanse the body, and it alleviates the emergency response of the liver and the kidneys.

If the kidneys are not in overdrive cleansing toxins by sending them to the bladder for emergency elimination, urination frequency decreases. Now the kidneys are free to use their energy to nourish the brain and increase brain energy, something really lacking in the Parkinson’s body.

Way to go fighters! You’re getting great at these bridges, now we are really going to challenge you.

If you have been doing that exercise regularly, you may be ready to start the Table Top Tail Taps bridge variation.

As with the marching, you are using only 3 points of support, but now you are actively contracting and firing up the supporting glute. You need to make sure the lifted hips stay level by activating your transverse abdominals and keep that supported knee in-line with the foot. It most certainly will try to splay out to avoid lengthening the hip flexors which we want to lengthen.

Why is this important? Parkinson’s Lazy Bum is real and usually due to neuro disconnect aggravated also by too much sitting. This disconnection changes the mechanics and motor programming of the body, leading to muscle groups becoming overactive, and others becoming underactive resulting in injury. Glute activation is waking up your glutes, making the connection from your brain to your muscles. Continue reading “Do This Bridge Variation with Table Top Tail Taps to Fix Parkinson’s Lazy Bum”
