Parkinson’s Disease prevention diet and nutrition needs
Nutritional Factors Some supplements with reported benefits in Parkinson’s disease are acetyl-L-carnitine, octacosanol and evening primrose oil. Carnitine helps to increase energy production by channeling fatty acids into cells, it is especially brain active as acetyl-L-carnitine and helps to improve memory and possibly other brain functions. Octacosanol is a long-chain lipid concentrated from wheat-germ oil.Continue reading “Parkinson’s Disease prevention diet and nutrition needs”
LEAN DIETS, LONG LIFE, AND THE MITOCHONDRIA
Parkinson’s disease and Mitochondria as the oxygen-consuming power plants of human cells Mitochondrial maintenance is essential for cellular and organismal function. Maintenance includes reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation, DNA repair, fusion–fission, and mitophagy. Loss of function of these pathways leads to disease. Mitochondria are the oxygen-consuming power plants of cells. They provide a critical milieuContinue reading “LEAN DIETS, LONG LIFE, AND THE MITOCHONDRIA”
