Recent research sheds light on the promising connection between selenium, an essential mineral with antioxidant properties, and Parkinson’s disease. A cohort study published in May in BMC Geriatrics found that a moderate increase in selenium intake had a protective effect on Parkinson’s disease mortality.
The study’s findings suggest that including selenium-rich food in the diet positively influences the prognosis of the disease and may potentially mitigate the risk of developing Parkinson’s. The best part? Simple dietary additions can help increase selenium intake, making it an easily achievable goal for current patients and those at risk of developing the disease.
