Parkinson’s Disease is a neuro-degenerative disorder that affects a broad number of people in the population. There are no limits to ethnic nor socio-economic groups. Because of the number of people who are affected scientists and researchers have been searching for causes, and thus ways of preventing, Parkinson’s Disease.
To date there is no definitive research to point to a cause or if there is a way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease. However, researchers have found specific factors that either increase or decrease a persons risk of developing this debilitating and degenerative disorder.
Research has pointed to the probability that high levels of caffeine may help to decrease the risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease. Although there are negative health effects from consuming large amounts of coffee each day there also appears to be some benefit from Americas favorite breakfast beverage.
Caffeine may protect against Parkinson’s disease by blocking adenosine receptors, thus increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain. Caffeine also increases the levels of dopamine in the body, which are destroyed by Parkinson’s disease. Caffeine from sources such as green tea, black tea, chocolate and soda are associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Over a period of months and years, continued loss of nerves occurs, which causes the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Nerve cells (neurons) in particular part of a brain (substantia nigra) normally produce dopamine. The death of these nerve cells leads to abnormally low levels of dopamine, which makes it difficult for a person with Parkinson’s disease to control muscle tension and muscle movement, both at rest and during periods of activity.
Growth hormone continues to be both the most promising and the most controversial anti-aging hormone therapy. The development of effective growth hormone releasers appears to be of great importance. Researchers now know that growth hormone receptors exist in the brain, and that growth hormone stimulates neurogenesis (the production of new nerve cells). It is possible that growth hormone helps to prevent Parkinson’s disease.
Exercise is another method of delaying the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Exercise improves balance, and can strengthen certain muscles so that people can speak and swallow better. Exercise is also known to improve the emotional and psychological well-being of those who enjoy its benefits. Things such as a daily walk can be particularly useful to improve a persons ability to sleep well at night.
In one research study which followed over 7,500 men between 45 and 68 years researchers found that over a 30-year period 128 men developed Parkinson’s disease. This Honolulu Heart study found that specifically, those who drank more than 16 ounces of milk each day were 2.3 times more likely to develop Parkinson’s than those who didn’t drink any milk.
Scientists believe that Parkinson’s disease is rarely inherited and less than one per cent of all cases are thought to have a genetic component. At this time there is no medical cure for the condition, but drugs that alleviate the symptoms and slow the progress of the disease are available.
