Parkinson's disease prevention may 'begin at the dinner table'

  • Denise Holsinger from York County can now walk again after doctors at WellSpan York Hospital placed a device that uses electrical impulses to help control her Parkinson's disease symptoms.
  • Researchers examined extensive long-term dietary and health records from over 42,800 individuals who initially showed no signs of Parkinson’s disease to investigate connections between eating habits and early indicators of the condition.
  • The study found that people consuming about 11 to 12 servings of ultraprocessed foods daily showed 2.5 times higher likelihood of experiencing three or more early Parkinson's symptoms.
  • Dr. Xiang Gao, senior author of the study, indicated that consuming high amounts of processed foods may accelerate the appearance of early Parkinson’s symptoms and recommended reducing intake of such foods to promote better brain health.
  • Although the study did not establish a direct increase in Parkinson's diagnosis, these findings suggest diet could influence neurodegeneration and prevention may start with nutrition choices.
