Nutrients have been used in clinical studies and are widely used by people with Parkinson's disease in order to partially treat Parkinson's disease or slow down its deterioration. The L-dopa precursor L-tyrosine was shown to relieve an average of 70% of symptoms. Ferrous iron, the essential cofactor for L-dopa biosynthesis was shown to relieve between 10% and 60% of symptoms in 110 out of 110 patients. Another complementary approach is Dopavite, a nutritional supplement which contains both of these substances and all the other nutrients required for dopamine formation. However, the efficacy of this nutritional supplement has not been validated in clinical trials.

Diet is paramount at every stage of Parkinson’s. A certified nutritionist should be an early recruit in the battle. Organic fruits, vegetables, and poultry, wild salmon, red beets, green beans, carrots, turnips, spinach, and red onions are especially beneficial in avoiding toxins. Unheated extra-virgin olive oil and herbs for flavoring should be used. Coffee has been associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease, likely as a result of caffeine’s dopaminergic properties.28 Sugars and fats must be avoided, as high-sugar diets have been correlated with a threefold risk for developing Parkinson’s, and high-fat diets with a fivefold risk.29,30 Others to avoid include dairy, wheat, and gluten products, margarine, fried foods, polyunsaturated oils (especially canola), sweetened foods, artificial sweeteners, processed food (such as deli meats), monosodium glutamate (MSG), alcohol (except red wine), chlorinated and fluoridated water, and microwaved foods.
Finally, weight-bearing exercise has been associated with an increase in testosterone that raises dopamine levels. Combined with the inherent benefit of improved body tone and coordination, an exercise program is indispensable in treating Parkinson’s disease.
