“Parkinson's disease: Decreases dopamine cell loss, reduces inflammation, improves motor function, reverses depression and anxiety behaviors. Neurovascular disease: Strengthens blood-brain barrier, increases vascular density and blood flow.”

“This new finding may potentially lead to an early diagnostic for Parkinson's even before the onset of tremors”

“They also showed that the two substances rescued the toxic effects of the weed killer Paraquat. Cells that had been treated with this herbicide, which is known to cause a Parkinson's like harm of mitochondria, recovered after the addition of the two substances.”

“It performs both a general housekeeping role and a targeted cleansing strategy to maintain cellular health. Autophagy is impaired in Parkinson's disease, reducing clearance of alpha synuclein aggregates and driving neuronal death.”

“New research suggests that a new artificial intelligence tool can help diagnose Parkinson's disease well before symptoms manifest, with 96 percent accuracy. Researchers used machine learning to analyze metabolites – byproducts of metabolism – in the blood of 78 people, half of whom had Parkinson's disease.”

“However, a growing body of evidence suggests that dietary components protect against the development and progression of the condition. A 2015 study found that polyphenols in tea mitigated neuronal loss, motor impairments, and alpha-synuclein accumulation in a primate model of Parkinson's disease.”

“Two of the studies showed that exercise also improved the participants' quality of life. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by the destruction of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra.”

“Evidence suggests that exercise markedly improves the quality of life for those with the condition. A recent study found that different exercise training intensities have varied effects on symptoms of Parkinson's disease.”

“Ketogenic diets are widely accepted for the treatment of epilepsy. Drs. D'Agostino and Patrick discuss the possibility of incorporating a ketogenic diet or supplemental ketones into the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s appearance on The Knowledge Project, she explains why pesticide concern varies by produce type. She points to paraquat and rotenone as compounds used to create Parkinson-like mitochondrial and neuronal injury in laboratory models, then distinguishes that hazard discussion from the practical question of choosing food at the store.”
