1. What is Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, resulting in tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. 

2. How Does Parkinson’s Disease Occur

Parkinson’s disease has a genetic component, but genetic predisposition alone does not necessarily lead to its manifestation. Environmental factors such as exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals can trigger the expression of these genes. Other risk factors include age, gender, head trauma, inflammation, and stress.

3. What Can You Do for Prevention

Focus on emptying the “rain barrel” and addressing the underlying root cause of your issues. Foundational prevention recommendations include exercising to improve neurological function, following a Mediterranean diet, supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids, green tea, curcumin, and CoQ10. Managing stress levels and maintaining balanced levels of inflammation are also important.
