It's no secret that what we eat has an enormous impact on our health, and patients with Parkinson's disease are no exception. Johns Hopkins health educator Chelsea Ganc explains the role of nutrition in Parkinson's symptom management and the best way to identify a diet that works for your unique needs. #ParkinsonsDisease #JohnsHopkins

TRACKING improvement

FIRST STEP: a UPDRS test, a push test with video, a walking and turning test with video, a talking test with video and possibly a writing test with video, standing from seated on hard back chair video with your arms crossed. These videos are kept on file to be used for comparison with future videos. This is a fairly accurate means of documenting improvements over time as it is actually fairly easy for some people to not realize how much they have improved over time.

Some good points in the presentation but it also demonstrates the ignorance or a deliberate effort to recognize a low carb high fat diet or ketogenic diet as extremely beneficial in preventing or managing dementia diseases.

[jimrutherford]

You should actually be reducing carbs or sugars, and eating fewer meals and snacking.

Kefir is the best thing my husband has found.

Eating fermented foods helped my loved one with constipation. I learned how to make fermented sauerkraut & Kombucha . Both are delicious & easy to make. They both need to ferment for about a week so there is a little planning ahead that is needed.

Additionally patients with pd could do the most mild versions of fasting for example 12-16 hours max. Not a day on and then a day off. That would be too extreme for them

My mom want to quit Carbidopa/Livadopa, and do healthy Keto with maybe a mild Fast 12-16h and exercise, isn't Parkinson's disease a condition related to the metabolism of glucose, could this help?

the slide on
Intermittent fasting Really didn’t do a good job at explaining the potential benefits for PD patients. If combined with the mind diet or ketogenic diet intermittent fasting could actually be beneficial. You can drink water while fasting and it’s recommended that you do stay well hydrated no matter what, especially with pd so I’m not sure why that was mentioned on that slide

Move your protein for late in the day. You need protein for good nutrition. Food, order of eating your food. If you have taken l-dopa one hour before the meal it would also be helpful to eat some greens first, fruit and protein last. Thereby you delay the digestion of the protein. Greens digest slower than meat.

Canola oil is most certainly NOT part of the Mediterranean diet!

“So what do we do to eliminate dehydration? Um…“

Seminar is so slow, information presented his week and presented with no evidence, The recommendations suck, and the speaking sucks.
