A balancedcarbohydrate: proteindiet in themanagement ofParkinson's disease Article abstract-Although restricting dietary protein is a proposed adjunct totreating Parkinson's disease (PD), the effect of carbohydrate consumption isunknown. With the balanced diet, perfor-mance improved steadily over 2 hours, whereas perfor-mance peaked at 1 hour and declined at 2 hours afterboth the high-protein and high-carbohydrate meals. The other drawback is that it is not possible, with table foods alone, to achieve a 7:1 diet with a total calorie intake of less than 1800-1900 calories, since carbohydrate at seven times the protein intake needs to be included, and a palatable dinner would also include a small amount of fat. Balancing carbohydrate and protein, specifically in a ratio of 7:1 (7 parts carbohydrate to 1 part protein) results in the most stable blood levels of LNAAs-the goal of dietary management. A. While there is no special diet for people with Parkinson's disease, eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet is extremely beneficial. With the proper diet, our bodies work more efficiently, we have more energy, and Parkinson's disease medications will work properly. This article addresses the basics of good nutrition The pegboard score differed according to thetype of breakfast eaten, with a significant diet by timeinteraction (p = 0.028). With the balanced diet, perfor-mance improved steadily over 2 hours, whereas perfor-mance peaked at 1 hour and declined at 2 hours afterboth the high-protein and high-carbohydrate meals. Asimilar but nonsignificant trend was observed with anincrease in sentence length Diet and Parkinson's Disease. No singular diet can treat Parkinson s disease or its symptoms, but a healthy and balanced diet can improve general well-being. Eating fruits and vegetables may help keep you energized and hydrated. Fiber-rich foods and fluids may ease symptoms of constipation or low blood pressure.  A balanced carbohydrate: protein diet in the management of Parkinson's disease.

Although restricting dietary protein is a proposed adjunct to treating Parkinson's disease (PD), the effect of carbohydrate consumption is unknown. We measured plasma levodopa and large neutral amino acid (LNAA) levels in nine PD patients treated with carbidopa/levodopa and different isocaloric meals containing high protein-low carbohydrate, low protein-high carbohydrate, and balanced 5:1 carbohydrate:protein mixtures. Although restricting dietary protein is a proposed adjunct to treating Parkinson's disease (PD), the effect of carbohydrate consumption is unknown. Studies show an optimal response to levodopa with a 7:1 diet, as compared to either a higher carbohydrate intake (30:1) or lower carbohydrate intake (1.5:1). The 7:1 balance, therefore, is the goal of dietary modification to enhance the effect of your Sinemet. Balancing carbohydrate and protein, specifically in a ratio of 7:1 (7 parts carbohydrate to 1 part protein) results in the most stable blood levels of LNAAs-the goal of dietary management.
