Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Big Pharma is always looking for the next big Parkinson’s disease drug.
But not because they care about the millions of folks losing their independence and dignity to the disease.
They just care about the millions of dollars they could make instead.
The funny thing is, the answer has been staring them in the face… and they’ve been ignoring it completely.
Because a new study shows that it’s NOT prescription drugs that will solve Parkinson’s disease.
Instead, it’s a completely NATURAL super duo that can decrease your risk by 37 percent.
A new study from the journal Neurology found that vitamin E and vitamin C can block the cascade of events that lead to Parkinson’s disease.
In an extensive review, researchers examined the health records of 43,865 men and women from a large ten-year Swedish study.
For the research, participants had their antioxidant levels measured through something called total non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (NEAC). They had also answered a questionnaire specifically around their vitamin C and E intake.
And after the researchers examined the evidence, they found that 465 cases of Parkinson’s developed after the follow-up.
But not only that, they discovered that these people had something in common…
Those who had the lowest vitamin E and vitamin C levels had a 32 percent higher chance of getting Parkinson’s.
That’s because both vitamin E and vitamin C are powerful antioxidants and help protect the brain.
And protecting your brain should be your top priority— because there are plenty of things attacking your brain in our modern world.
It’s important to take your vitamin E and vitamin C, but you can be even more proactive by following these simple steps.
Dr. Scott’s Brain Protection Plan:
- Creatine is an amino acid that’s very good for the brain. It also helps support energy production.
- CoQ10 is another powerful antioxidant and helps to provide energy throughout the body. It’s also been linked to lower blood pressure and healthier arteries.
- Antioxidants, especially phytonutrients (plant compounds) like bioflavonoids, flavonols, and polyphenols, are important for our health and are the reason why coffee, chocolate, and wine help you avoid disease and live longer lives.
- Mitochondrial support is also key. Mitochondria are the energy-producing motors of our cells. Supplement with alpha lipoic acid, astaxanthin, and selenium to give your brain energy a boost.
- Herbs such as curcumin and bacopa work to decrease inflammation thanks to their additional antioxidants.
P.S. With spring just around the corner, it’s almost time for gardening again. But before you get out your trowel, you’ll want to read about this secret Parkinson’s trigger hiding out in your yard.
