I take a 'high-speed' aerobic walk with my dogs each day in the woods. I've been to the same secluded park every day for more than 15 years. Also, I have an appointment Wednesday to have a Basal-cell carcinoma spot removed from my right cheek.(Ahem. The surgeon has assured me that my normal, good-looks will be unaffected)

You have been doing both suggestions of Grampa Dave re the walk and sunshine/vitamin D.
About 5-6 years ago, an in law, his in law and 2 very good friends of ours were diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
Unfortunately, the inlaw and his in law basically stopped exercising and getting outside and one of our friends did the same. They are now basically wheelchair bound. Their oral medicines don’t work that well and lose any effectiveness in about 6 months.
The other friend’s wife is a PT professor at a good private college with private patient/clients. She gets her husband out of bed every morning for some walking and running and exercises with some of her private patients/clients.
She bought him a kayak so he could continue to fly fish. He is still in great shape. His speaking is impaired but nothing like the other 3. He is still on the basic PD drug he was started on, years ago.
His Parkinson doctors are rxing his life style to their other Parkinson patients.
