Parkinson’s Disease

September 13th, 2010 |

Parkinson’s disease’s (PD) cause remains unknown as well as a cure for it. The most important risk factor for it is aging.
PD symptoms begin to show around age 50 or earlier in select cases. The risk increases as aging takes place. When 60 years comes around, incidence of PD is almost eminent.
Early warning signs include slowed movement, tremors, mild cognitive impairment, and difficulty standing while the end stages include dementia, immobility, neurological disorders, and death.
These symptoms are caused by multiple, interacting destructive processes which are brought on by oxidant stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation
Together these processes gradually delete basic motor skills from the brain needed for survival in the world.
Nutrients that enhance brainpower utilization are recommended for the prevention of PD.
Creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10, B vitamins, carnitine, lipoic acid, green tea extract, and reservatrol are the most promising supplements in the prevention of PD.
