“...Movement is so critical and the new German medicine that has really been exciting, that I would really recommend people to look into, is something called the smovey ring. This smovey ring you can find online and order. They are a basically about the circumference of a tennis racket, about half circle and then a handle in the middle of it and running in (this tube) are vibrating balls that will stimulate the neurons when you are walking and it’s that vibration or stimulation that gets these neurons back in community. So you can be frustrated for brain up here but realize that the brain is attached to this handle here. So the more you move the more exercises and stimulation you give your peripheral nerves, the better you are going to preserve that central nervous system. Huge data coming out of there on that front so move move move.”
