This So-Called “Healthy Drink” May Cause Parkinsons Disease

With no known cure or cause for PD (Parkinson’s Disease), it’s important to know how to potentially prevent the disease.

Participating in physical activity and eating a healthy, balanced diet are recommended.

More importantly, you should be aware of what foods could potentially increase the risk of PD. 

With PD, certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain gradually break down or die, and many symptoms of the condition are due to a loss of neurons that produce a chemical messenger in your brain called dopamine. “When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to impaired movement and other symptoms of Parkinson’s disease,” explains the Mayo Clinic.

This article outlines what drink you might consider avoiding in order to reduce your risk of PD.
