World Parkinson's Day is observed every year on 11 April to raise awareness of the neurological condition that causes progressive loss of motor functions and includes tremors, painful muscle contractions and difficulty speaking, eating and sleeping.
Although there is no superfood, eating a well-balanced diet with whole foods such as fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, beans and legumes, and whole grains along with adequate hydration not only promotes general health, but also improves the prognosis of patients. Health also improves. 'Ability to deal with the symptoms of the disease.
"Parkinson's disease is defined as a neurodegenerative disorder that affects quality of life and impairs nutritional status. Nutrition can modify risk factors but there is no preventive curative therapy, according to the study.No single nutrient works like a superfood but it is a combination of functional foods that is a dietary pattern that influences disease risk,” says Sweedal Trinidad, CHI Dietician, P. D. Hinduja Hospital and MRC, Mahim. , told IANS.
"Regular monitoring of nutritional status is important for individuals with Parkinson's disease as poor nutrition can have a significant impact on their health outcomes. Parkinson's patients often experience significant weight loss increasing the risk of malnutrition and disease progression. The severity increases. Therefore, it is essential to maintain and consume a balanced diet. Eat meals at shorter intervals, and ensure adequate hydration," said Charu Dua, chief clinica nutritionist at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.Experts said incorporating healthy fats and increasing protein intake throughout the day can optimize the drug's effectiveness and support muscle health.

“A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides us with adequate doses of antioxidants such as vitamins A, B, C and E which are known to reduce metabolic failure in antioxidant mechanisms that can enhance the chemical process that can lead to lipid peroxidation. and parkinsonian features,” she said.
He recommended eating fresh fruits and vegetables rich in lycopene, carotenoids, riboflavin, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, but warned against dairy products.
“Studies have shown that high consumption of dairy products can often lead to low serum uric acid levels. Serum uric acid is inversely proportional to the risk of Parkinson's.However, more evidence is needed to support this in me and women," Swedel said.
Meanwhile, Charu stressed on high fiber diet which can help prevent constipation
Patients of.
The expert said, "Inclusion of flavonoids from sources such as soy, known for their osteogenic effects, may provide neuroprotective benefits. Similarly, polyphenol-rich foods such as berries, nuts, broccoli and olive oil have antioxidant properties. that can potentially protect against neurodegeneration."
