Diet and Lifestyle Changes For Parkinson's Patients
Dr. Puru Dhawan shares valuable information about the ideal diet and lifestyle for patients with Parkinson's disease in this informative video. He emphasizes that adopting the right diet and lifestyle can help improve both physical and mental health.
At the beginning of the video, Dr. Dhawan briefly explains what Parkinson's disease is and how it affects the body, with a focus on the role dopamine plays in the disease. He discusses both diabetic and non-diabetic patients and recommends incorporating sugar and jaggery, whole grains, vegetables, kidney beans, chickpeas, spinach, and carrots into the diet. For fruits, he suggests apples, papayas, guavas, and seasonal fruits. These recommendations apply to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian patients, with non-vegetarian patients advised to include chicken and fish soups in their diets.
Dr. Dhawan also advises patients to vary their food choices rather than sticking to a rigid diet plan, and to stay hydrated. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of making lifestyle changes to improve overall health, including reducing alcohol and smoking intake, as well as managing stress levels.
