Preventing Parkinson’s Disease involves a holistic approach that focuses on maintaining brain health and reducing potential risk factors. Although Parkinson’s has complex origins, there are lifestyle choices and habits that can contribute to prevention. Here’s a concise summary of key preventive measures:
Nourish with Care:
Embrace a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Prioritize fruits and vegetables, especially those high in vitamins C and E, which are linked to brain health.
Feed Your Mind:
