What should Parkinson's diet take

First, the diet of Parkinson's patients is very important. The diet principle of Parkinson's patients is low protein, low fat and high fiber. Due to limb tremor, muscle rigidity and increased energy consumption, patients should be encouraged to eat more foods with high tyrosine content, such as sesame, pumpkin seeds, almonds and skimmed milk, so as to promote the synthesis of dopamine in the body. It has been reported that broad beans (especially broad bean pods) are very popular.

Second, we should pay more attention to the protein supply in food when we have Parkinson's disease. High protein diet can affect the absorption of L-dopa in the small intestine, and high concentration of amino acids can prevent L-dopa from passing through the blood-brain barrier and reduce the drug efficacy. We should pay attention to avoid taking high protein diet and anti Parkinson's disease drugs at the same time, but if the patient has fever, bedsore and other conditions, we can appropriately increase the protein supply . For patients taking anticholinergic drugs at the same time, avoid eating betel nut at the same time.

Third, drinking more water is good for Parkinson's disease. The food should be kept warm. It is suggested that patients use a spoon with thick handle when eating. For those with dysphagia, they can eat semi liquid food or liquid food, and eat a small amount of food; for those who can't eat, nasogastric feeding should be paid attention to. Patients often choke due to the tension of neck and face muscles. They can massage the masticatory muscles and neck muscles before eating, practice swallowing, and eat after swallowing function is restored.
