Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disease that causes trembling, stiffness, slowness of movement and a loss of fine motor control.
While symptoms vary from person to person, the most well-known symptom is a tremor.
People with Parkinson’s disease may also experience slowness of movement, stiffness, a loss of automatic movements such as blinking and smiling, changes in speech and, in the later stages of the disease, dementia.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are caused by a gradual deterioration and death of brain cells in the substantia nigra.
However, people with Parkinson’s can lose up to 70% of susceptible brain cells and go on for many years before symptoms become noticeable.
Recent studies have found that following a balanced diet improves general well-being and boosts your ability to deal with symptoms of the disease.
This video will discuss the role milk may play in triggering Parkinson’s disease.
