This short book is a response to a frustration I heard from the Parkinson's community. The people I spoke to wanted to know if there were things they should be eating (or NOT eating) that might impact their disease. In order to generate a guide for what a relevant diet for people with Parkinson's would be, I combed the medical and nutrition literature for foods that had a specific effect on Parkinson's. This is the first overview of the research into PD and nutrition classified into short chapters as a starter guide.I've been working and volunteering in the Parkinson's community for many years. As an immunologist, my Parkinson's focus was centered on neuroinflammation. I had previously studied the role of diet in inflammation, and I suspected that diet could play a role in brain inflammation. The number of research articles published on Parkinson's and nutrition in the last few years has increased by a factor of 10. Yet, when my friends with Parkinson's started hunting for information about how nutrition might impact their disease, they were both excited and disappointed. Most of that information was completely incomprehensible or unavailable to a non-scientist. I've been sharing this information at wellness retreats and conferences, including the World Parkinson's Congress 2016. Whenever I speak, people tell me that they want a written document that they can refer to. This is that resource.

The author, Yuchi Yang, has been a registered dietitian for more than twenty years. She has been counseling patients with Parkinson's on food and nutrition to optimize their health with diet. Levodopa (L-dopa) is the most used medication to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Dietary protein can compete with L-dopa to cross the blood-brain barrier and decrease the efficacy of the drug. Such problem of protein and levodopa competition usually appears years after the initiation of L-dopa therapy. In this book, you will learn how to eat healthfully with an adequate amount of protein while maximizing the L-dopa efficacy. This book includes nutrition information and research findings on managing Parkinson's disease with diet; how to design your own meal plans; and 14 healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. Research continues to explore the science behind diet and nutrition for the risks of Parkinson's and how to manage it. Further research and studies will result in even more compelling dietary recommendations. In the meantime, this book can be used as a guide to managing Parkinson's with diet.
