Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing Parkinson's. Incorporating Parkinson's-friendly foods such as leafy greens, berries, nuts and seeds, and fatty fish into your diet is essential. A balanced diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids can help: - promote energy and vitality - reduce inflammation - support brain health For more information you may visit our website at lifesparkpd.com or give us a call at 732-806-1133. . #ParkinsonsAwareness  #HealthyEating  #ParkinsonsDiet  #BrainHealth  #NutritionMatters  #Omega3Benefits #ParkinsonsSupport  #AntiInflammatoryFoods  #LeafyGreens  #HealthyFats  #WholeFoods  #NutritionForParkinsons  #BrainFood  #GutHealth  #ParkinsonsCommunity  #HealthAndWellness  #ParkinsonsCare  #PlantBasedNutrition  #FightParkinsons  #BalancedDiet

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by dopamine loss in the substantia nigra of the brain. Research shows that exercise can help manage PD's motor symptoms, with moderate-to-high-intensity exercise performed multiple times a week for extended periods (e.g., 6 months) reducing motor severity. Exercise may also have neuroprotective effects, with postmortem studies linking physical activity to improved brain health. PET scans and MRIs reveal that vigorous cycling increases dopamine release in habitual exercisers more than in sedentary individuals. Neuromelanin (NM), a by-product of dopamine, serves as a biomarker for PD progression. . #ParkinsonsDisease #PD #NeurodegenerativeDisorder #Dopamine #ExerciseForParkinsons #BrainHealth #PhysicalActivity #Neuroprotection #MotorSymptoms #PDResearch #HealthyBrain #ParkinsonsAwareness #ExerciseIsMedicine #CyclingForHealth #DopamineBoost #MovementMatters #ParkinsonsSupport #NeuroScience #FitnessForPD #ParkinsonsCare #Neuromelanin #StayActive #PDProgression #PDResearch #ParkinsonsCommunit #parkinsonsFitness #parkinsonsmovement
