Diet Supplements for Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease is a disease of the central nervous system. The disorder progresses as the brain's nerve cells that control movement degrade and die. The dead cells in turn cause hand tremors, facial rigidity and movement problems. Parkinson's Disease normally affect men and women alike after the age of 60, but a small percentage of individuals suffer from the disease at younger ages. Although there is no cure for Parkinson' disease, there are beneficial diet supplements available that can help delay the progression and alleviate symptoms.

Vitamin C and E

    According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, studies have shown that a combination of vitamin C and E in high dosages helps protect sufferers of Parkinson's disease by slowing down the progression of the disease. The vitamins must be taken together in order to get the desired effect. When combined, vitamin C stops dopamine-cell destruction while vitamin E works as a fat soluble solution. At least 1,000mg of vitamin C should be taken three times daily, as well as 800 IU of vitamin E four times daily. Although more results are needed to confirm all the benefits of the vitamins, the results thus far are promising. Consult with your health care professional for more information.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

    Per the University of Maryland Medical Center, omega-3 fatty acids help with Parkinson's disease because of its effects on neurological health. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, help individuals maintain a healthy neurological system. The University of Maryland Medical Center also suggests to choose omega-3 fatty acid supplements carefully. Avoid omega-3 fatty acid supplements that contain high levels of vitamin A, which have the potential to become hazardous when taken in high doses. Consult with your physician as to which omega-3 fatty acids would be the most beneficial for you.

Vitamin B6

    Vitamin B6 has a positive influence on various functions of the body, including regulating blood glucose levels, producing hemboglobin and helping to break down carbohydrates and fats. Vitamin B6 has also been used to reduce the side effects of the medications prescribed to Parkinson's disease patients. However, per the University of Maryland Medical Center, vitamin B6 may also interfere with the metabolism of some medications, reducing their efficacy. Because of this, the consumption of Vitamin B6 should always be taken under your physician's advice.

A horrible, horrible condition robbing people of independence, dignity, movement, speech, continence, ability to swallow and breathe.we didn't know what to do we tried everything possible medically, we were waiting for his death then one day our daughter got back from work with the email of a herbal Dr saying her friend from work told her about a testimony on how Health Herbal Clinic cured her mom from PD and it truely worked, we were desperate and sceptical but my daughter told me we got nothing to loose and i decided to give it a try. 4 weeks after he started taking the herb he regained his speech and today my husband is fully rocovered from this deadly disease called PD, this isn't a BS it is real you can also contact Healtth herbal clinic on healthherbalclinic@gmail.com or website on www.healthherbalclinic.weebly.com
