Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder.
It gradually reduces dopamine, a chemical in the brain, affecting speech, walking and balance.
The causes of the disease aren’t known, and there are no effective treatments, nor is there a cure.
But previous studies show that people who consume high levels of dietary vitamin C and E may lower their risk for Parkinson’s disease by almost a third.
The findings also show that a healthy diet does play a big role in Parkinson’s disease management and prevention.
