Study Links Certain Foods to Reduced Parkinson's Risk
Antioxidant-Rich Diet May Slow Disease Progression
A recent study has found that certain foods may be linked to a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Researchers also suggest that a balanced diet rich in antioxidants may help slow the progression of the disease.
The study, published in the journal Neurology, looked at the dietary habits of over 500,000 people. Researchers found that those who ate a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains had a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Those who ate a diet high in processed foods, red meat, and sugary drinks had a higher risk of developing the disease.
The researchers also found that people who ate a diet rich in antioxidants had a slower progression of Parkinson's disease. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect cells from damage. They are found in many fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
The researchers say that their findings suggest that a healthy diet may help reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and slow its progression. They recommend eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and avoiding processed foods, red meat, and sugary drinks.
