#29 Exercise is a Low Hanging Fruit for Health!

To kick off our next phase of NeuroNotes, where we plan to talk about common neurological symptoms affecting a wide range of conditions, we thought we'd start by talking about lifestyle factors.

Lifestyle factors are what we call the "lowest hanging fruit" of health. Simple habits that when set-up right have wide reaching effects across all of health - setting your body and brain up for success in the long run.

Of these, exercise is the one closest to our hearts! So tune in as we talk about our own journeys with exercise, and how this may apply to you living with a neurological condition.
