Can Parkinson’s Disease be prevented?

Because the cause of Parkinson's is unknown, there are no proven ways to prevent the disease. Some research has shown that regular aerobic exercise might reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease

The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, so there is no surefire way to prevent it. However, there are some things that you can do to reduce your risk, such as:

  • Exercise regularly. Studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

  • Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may also help to reduce your risk of Parkinson's disease.

  • Avoid toxins. Exposure to certain toxins, such as pesticides and herbicides, has been linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease.

  • Get enough sleep. Getting enough sleep is important for overall health, and it may also help to protect against Parkinson's disease.

  • Manage stress. Stress can contribute to a number of health problems, including Parkinson's disease. Finding ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature, can help to reduce your risk.

If you have any concerns about your risk of Parkinson's disease, talk to your doctor. They can help you to develop a plan to reduce your risk and manage any symptoms that you may develop.
