Things you can do to avoid Parkinson’s disease
The cause for Parkinson’s disease is not yet known, however in research rather than finding one specific cause there are many small things which have been linked to the disease. The same goes for the cure, and although there is findings suggesting many things which help battle the symptoms of the disease, and there is good understanding of the progression of it a specific cure has yet to be found. This may be as the disease develop and progresses due to many external and internal factors.
This said, there are many things which you can do to work against this illness which affect millions of people who inhabit this planet.
To ensure that you run the lowest risk possible of getting Parkinson’s disease, there are a few things worth keeping in mind. First and foremost you need to avoid pesticides and toxins in your environment. Insecticides, herbicides and other chemical toxins and solvents have been proven to be a factor in the development of Parkinson’s disease. Regular exercise help keep the chemical balances in your brain at a good level, and with Parkinson’s disease there is a lack of dopamine production, which is naturally stimulated during physical exercise. Regular exercise is seen by specialist as one of the most efficient way to work to prevent Parkinson’s disease.
Ensure that your diet is varied and contain plenty of vitamins, here special attention should be given to vitamin D, and omega 3 fatty acids are also in favour of keeping your brain in good condition. Fortified foods, fish and ensuring that you get enough sun light are a few things you can do.
If you have any questions, or if you are suspecting that you or someone that you know have Parkinson’s disease, please contact your doctor as soon as you have a chance.
