Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 2013-03-04

Plant-based diets in general and certain plant foods in particular may be used to successfully treat Parkinson's disease in part by boosting L-DOPA levels. What about preventing the disease in the first place? See the previous video Preventing Parkinson's Disease With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-parkinsons-disease-with-diet/).
 
The serotonin story I mentioned explaining the crowding out of precursor amino acids at the blood-brain barrier is described in my three-part series The Wrong Way to Boost Serotonin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-boost-serotonin/), A Better Way to Boost Serotonin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-better-way-to-boost-serotonin/), and The Best Way to Boost Serotonin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-way-to-boost-serotonin/).
