It is always good to seek the professional advice of a nutritionist right after your Parkinson's Disease diagnosis so that you can get some solid information on what to eat and what to avoid. Most health care plans cover consultations with nutritionists so it will not cost you any extra money (except the co-pay). The nutritionist can take into account all of your special circumstances.
Perhaps you have other conditions (e.g. high blood pressure or diabetes) that require special diets. The nutritionist can help you to decide what if any new foods to add to or to drop from your existing diet. Ask your neurologist to refer you to a good nutritionist and get some solid information on how to eat right when you have PD.
To learn more about How to Fight Parkinson's disease and nutrition, we invite you to attend our educational conference on Monday, March 28th, 2011 at the Tampa Westshore Marriott in Tampa, Florida.
