Parkinson’s disease is a devastating diagnosis, because while the illness is treatable, it is not curable. Parkinson’s disease is marked by progressive degradation of the nervous system, which results in symptoms including tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movements, impaired balance and changes in speech. Dopamine, a chemical produced in your brain, may have promise for treating already diagnosed Parkinson’s disease, and it may also help prevent it, although it has not been studied widely. Adding certain foods to your diet may increase your levels of dopamine, thus protecting your brain from changes that can lead to Parkinson’s disease. Always consult your doctor before changing your diet, and do not stop taking any medicines your doctor has advised for health problems.
Beans
Not only are beans loaded with fiber and low in fat, they also contain protein, a nutrient essential for high brain levels of dopamine. Beans contain a protein-based amino acid called tyrosine, which boosts the amount of dopamine in your brain. According to Joel C. Robertson and Tom Monte, authors of “Natural Prozac: Learning to Release Your Body’s Own Anti-Depressants,” 3 oz. to 4 oz. of protein is enough to significantly increase your dopamine levels and improve your brain activity. Keeping your dopamine levels high may help your brain better stave off neurological changes that can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
Bananas
Eating a banana is a healthy way to add a hefty dose of potassium to your diet, but bananas also raise your dopamine levels. Adding a banana to your daily diet will help your brain produce more dopamine, which can help keep it healthy and able to resist changes that can turn into a Parkinson’s diagnosis. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation recommends adding fruits to your Parkinson’s diet, and a banana is a dopamine producing choice, Thomas S. C. Li adds in his book, “Vegetables and Fruits; Nutrition and Therapeutic Values.” Eat a banana with your morning cereal or add one to your lunchbox for two simple ways to include them in your daily diet.
Sunflower Seeds
A serving of sunflower seeds supplies you with some vitamin E, fiber and protein, but sunflower seeds also contain a substance called tryptophan, which increases your brain levels of dopamine and may help prevent Parkinson’s disease, although this has not been studied widely. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation puts seeds and nuts in its “won’t hurt and might help” category, saying they will be helpful for health in other ways. A handful of sunflower seeds included in your daily diet is a simple way to encourage your brain to produce more dopamine. Sprinkle some on a bowl of yogurt or oatmeal, or bake them into your favorite bread or muffin recipes
Nuts
Nuts are an additional source of protein, but they also contain a substance called phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is associated with a significant increase in dopamine levels, and eating a handful a day may help you keep your levels high enough to help prevent brain disorders that can lead to Parkinson’s disease. Phenylalanine works like the tyrosine in beans by encouraging your brain to make more dopamine, notes Dan Silverman in his book, “Brain After Chemo.” Any type of nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans and peanuts, will help you get more phenylalanine. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation also recommends nuts as a healthy food for Parkinson’s patients, putting it on its “won’t hurt and might help”

ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease at 67.his symptoms were shuffling of feet,slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of hand writing, horrible driving skills, right arm held at 45 degree angle, things were tough for me,I too was diagnosed of COPD but now we both finally free from those diseases with the help of total cure ultimatehealthhome,he now walks properly and all symptoms has reversed, he had trouble with balance especially at night, getting into the shower and exiting it is difficult,getting into bed is also another thing he finds impossible.we had to find a better solution for his condition which has really helped him a lot,the biggest helped we had was ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com, they walked us through the proper steps,am highly recommended this ultimatehealthhome to anyone who needs help.
I was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 56. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability, and soft voice. I also have difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and 6 months ago Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. I tried every shots available but nothing worked. I have been reading about thiamine and want to start him on high dose therapy (hoping that his symptoms do not become worse). In June 2018, my neurologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Dr. Fabien, i contacted him at www.kunimeherbs.com. I wanted to know more about him before I go ahead with the kunime herbal medicine. I was extra cautious about anything like this. I had a few doubts in my mind, I have searched all over. he explained to me how the kunime medicine works to cure Parkinson’s disease. I discussed with my husband, he permitted me to try it. I made an order for the herbal medicine. I started using the medicine, I noticed tremendous changes, I had a total decline of symptoms with this treatment, the Tremor, falling frequently, stiffness, body weakness, balance issues, depression and others has subsided. After 5/6 months of using the Herbal medication, I was 100% free from Parkinson’s disease. I've really learned to appreciate life now. Having this disease has taught me patience and not to take the little things such as being able to talk or to smile for granted. This treatment is a breakthrough for all suffering from Parkinson’s, don’t give up Hope. Kunime herbs are truly gift from God. No more people have to be diagnosed and burdened with this disease. 409 209-0379
ReplyDeleteWhere are the studies proving this kunime herb works? I also cannot find the medical license registration of the supposed Dr Fabien Constantine that sells it. He states he has had a fellowship from the University of Texas but there is no record of any medical board registration of him there, nor in several other states. His PhD title nor his position as a neurologist at any hospital can be confirmed. His image also cannot be found anywhere else on the Internet. His phone numbers in Texas +1 979-243-3730 and +1 409-209-0379 are also unlisted which makes no sense with a business.
ReplyDeleteIt is therefore a swindlers site.
