Around 90,000 new cases of Parkinson’s disease are diagnosed each year: Neurodegenerative disorder is commonly associated with a slow movement, tremors, stiffness and difficulty.
Experts suggest that physical activity and a balanced diet can help reduce the risk of Parkinson’s. A new study supports this orientation, and finding that people who consume many ultra -processed foods are more likely to have precocious Parkinson’s signs than those who eat less spam.
“There is increasing evidence that diet can influence the development of Parkinson’s disease,” said the author of the study, Dr. Xiang Gao at the Fudan University Institute of Fudan in Shanghai, China.
“Our research shows that eating too many processed foods, such as sugary drinks and packaged snacks, may accelerate the first signs of Parkinson’s disease.”
About 43,000 volunteers were followed with an average age of 48, who did not have Parkinson’s at the start of the study, and were followed up to 26 years.
The participants underwent regular medical exams, completed health questionnaires and maintained a food newspaper every two or four years.
The researchers calculated the number of UPF servings that they ate on an average day.
The UPF included sauces, diffusion, seasonings, packaged sweets, appetizers, desserts, artificial drinks or sugar and animal -based products.
A portion was equivalent to a can of soda, 1 ounce of chips, a slice of cake, a hot dog or a tablespoon of ketchup.
The participants were divided into five groups: the highest group ate 11 or more portions daily, while the lowest group ate less than three servings a day.
The researchers also looked at the first signs of Parkinson’s participants, including Rem Disorder, constipation, depression, pain, damaged color vision, excessive drowsiness during the day and reduced smell capacity.
After adjusting to factors such as age and exercise levels, UPF’s highest group participants had a higher probability of having three or more of these initial signs than those in the UPF’s lowest group.
Researchers also said that a UPF rich diet increased the risk for all Symptoms of Parkinson’s except constipation.
The findings were published on Wednesday online in Neurology, The Medical Journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
“Choosing food less processed foods and more nutritious foods could be a good strategy to maintain brain health,” Gao said. “More studies are needed to confirm our realization that eating less processed foods can slow down the first signs of Parkinson’s disease.”
UPF often contain many calories, sugar, salt and unhealthy fats. They can trigger inflammation in the brain that disrupts brain function, increasing the risk of brain disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
Recent research also linked UPF to higher risks of psoriasis, depression and even early death.
