Healthy Eating

There is no one recommended way to eat with Parkinson's disease, but a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables promotes health and well-being for everyone.

One part of a healthy diet is eating foods with antioxidants. These "good for you" molecules help protect cells from stresses such as air pollution, cigarette smoke and even the process of converting food to energy. Antioxidants are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, dark chocolate and some beverages, such as red wine, coffee and tea.

For some Parkinson's symptoms, the first step in treatment is to adjust your diet.

Talk to your doctor or a dietitian to craft a diet that helps you manage your Parkinson's symptoms and feel energized and healthy.

The medication levodopa (Sinemet) is a protein building block, so it competes for absorption with other proteins. Taking levodopa with high-protein meals, such as meat and fish, may reduce how much of the drug gets into your system and how well a dose works. Early in your disease, especially when symptoms are mild, you may have no problem taking levodopa around mealtime. If medication doesn't seem to be working its best, or if it's wearing off before it's time for your next dose, your doctor may recommend taking medication on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 60 minutes after a meal. Another option is to save higher amounts of protein for the end of the day, when controlling symptoms may not be as critical.

Iron supplements can decrease absorption of levodopa. If you take those, do so at least two hours before or after taking levodopa.

Fava beans contain levodopa, so adding them to one's diet is an attractive idea. Unfortunately, the amount of levodopa in fava beans is unknown and likely minimal.

Dopamine agonists(pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine) do not require any diet adjustment. MAO-B inhibitors(rasagaline, selegiline) increase tyramine, and combining them with foods high in tyramine usually aged cheese and cured meats could raise blood pressure. These foods dont need to be eliminated from the diet altogether, but should be eaten in moderation.

Some studies are looking at the effects of diet on Parkinson's symptoms and medication effects. Visit The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF)online study-matching tool Fox Trial Finderto find studies on diet and other areas.

Studies such as theMJFF online Fox Insight studyare gathering data on many aspects of life with Parkinson's, including diet. Fox Insight participants (with or without Parkinson's disease) complete surveys and questionnaires that are helping researchers learn more about the disease experience.

Your body pH a measure of acidity or alkalinity plays a key role in your health because overly acidic or overly alkaline conditions can stop your enzymes from working properly, essentially stopping cellular function. This is the basis for the alkaline diet.

The Alkaline Diet Plan relies on pH, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a food.

The alkaline diet is based on the idea that the foods you eat can affect the pH of your body, and proponents claim focusing on alkaline-forming foods for at least 70 percent of your daily diet will combat disease and benefit your health.

While not enough scientific evidence exists to back up all the health claims associated with an alkaline diet, a 2011 study published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health states that an alkaline diet plan might improve bone health and reduce muscle wasting.

Since at least 70 percent of your alkaline diet plan should come from alkaline-forming foods, you can eat almost all vegetables with the exception of pickled veggies and sauerkraut. Focus on leafy greens for your alkaline diet, such as wheat grass, sprouts, kale, dandelion and barley grass.

Eat alkaline root veggies, like beet root, kohlrabi and radishes. Several fruits are also alkaline-forming, with lime, lemon, avocado, cherries, watermelon and ripe bananas among your best options.

For healthy fat, reach for coconut, flaxseed, olive oil and sesame oil. Olive oil, especially, comes loaded with antioxidants and unsaturated fats beneficial for cardiovascular health, while flaxseed oil contains essential omega-3 fatty acids that lower inflammation and support brain function. You can also get healthy fat from alkaline nuts, like almonds and pine nuts.

Opt for whole grains like kamut, buckwheat, millet and spelt, and get alkaline-friendly carbs and protein with lentils. Lima beans, white beans and soybeans both mature seeds and edamame also work well in an alkaline diet menu. Other soy products, like tofu, offer an alkaline-forming source of protein.

Hydrate with water, as well as herbal and green teas, sweetened with an alkaline sweetener like stevia if needed. Add flavor to your meals with alkaline seasonings, including fennel seeds, cumin, caraway and sesame seeds.

Up to 30 percent of your daily food intake can come from acid-forming foods if you're following an alkaline diet plan.

Limit refined grains such as white bread, and opt instead for whole-grain versions. While whole-wheat bread is still slightly acidic, it's a less acidic option than white bread, corn tortillas or sourdough bread. Eat acidic fruits a group that includes mandarins, pineapple, tangerine, raspberries and unripe bananas in moderation.

Most meat is highly acid-forming, with beef, sardines, pork, tuna and veal among the most acidic. Diet staples like chicken, salmon and freshwater fish still count as acidic foods, but they're less acidic than beef. You'll also need to cap your intake of dairy products with the exception of buttermilk, which is alkaline.

Avoid cooking with acid-forming oils, including butter, margarine, corn oil and sunflower oil, and steer clear of acid-forming nuts like peanuts and pistachios. Minimize your use of certain condiments, including ketchup, mustard, mayo and soy sauce.

Stay away from processed foods; canned food and microwave dinners are both highly acidic. You'll also need to limit acid-forming beverages like sugar-sweetened juice cocktails, coffee, beer, wine and liquor.

If you need a helpful breakdown of what you should be eating throughout the day, here's a sample alkaline diet menu.

Start your day with a high-protein, alkaline-forming tofu scramble. Simply crumble tofu into bite-size pieces so that it will resemble the texture of scrambled eggs and add your favorite alkalizing veggies.

Add steamed kale, mushrooms and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicier scramble, or try bok choy, mustard greens and fresh grated ginger for an Asian-inspired dish featuring alkaline-forming ingredients.

If you'd prefer a breakfast with more carbohydrates, cook millet in unsweetened almond milk stirring continuously to prevent burning to make a healthy alkalizing porridge. Top your porridge with chopped almonds and sliced dried figs, or add sliced banana and a dash of cinnamon.

Use alkaline-forming ingredients to make healthy lunches and dinners. Because leafy greens are among the most alkaline veggies, enjoying a big green salad on the alkaline diet is a no-brainer.

Add heft to your salad by adding a half-cup of cooked lentils, a few blocks of grilled tofu or a small serving of grilled chicken or salmon, and make your own healthy spicy buttermilk dressing with a mixture of buttermilk, olive oil, oregano and cayenne pepper. For an Asian-inspired salad, top your greens with edamame, shredded carrot and baked chunks of tofu; then make a dressing out of sesame oil and fresh-grated ginger.

Make a light, alkaline-friendly soup by cooking your favorite veggies in a low-sodium vegetable broth, then tossing in edamame, sea vegetables and tempeh for high-quality protein and added flavor. Make a heartier soup by adding a half-cup of cooked kamut or spelt pasta to your bowl before serving.

Pasta made with alkaline grains, like kamut, can also satisfy a carb craving at dinner. Make your own alkaline-friendly pasta sauces at home using a food processor; try one made with tomatoes, fresh garlic, olive oil and basil for a traditional tomato sauce, or puree roasted butternut squash with buttermilk and sage until it takes on a creamy consistency.

Make an alkaline chili featuring white kidney beans, lentils and your favorite vegetables, and serve it on a bed of steamed greens. If you're craving extra carbs or protein, eat your chili with a small portion of grilled chicken or a slice of whole-wheat or sprouted-grain bread.

Snacks on the alkaline diet can be simple; enjoy a ripe banana, a few slices of watermelon or an ounce of almonds. If you have a little more time to prepare your snack, try a quarter-avocado topped with a spoonful of hulled sunflower seeds and a drizzle of honey.

Alternatively, blend up an alkaline smoothie made with almond milk, a handful of chopped kale, a few fresh figs or a frozen banana and a spoonful of almond butter.

The alkaline diet has several potential benefits. You'll likely be eating lots of alkaline-forming fruits and veggies each day, which can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. You'll emphasize plant-derived protein over red meat, which can also boost heart health.

However, the high number of restricted foods on the alkaline diet might make it hard to follow, especially if some of your former diet staples fall into the "highly acidic" category. And many acid-forming foods have real health benefits; for example, skinless chicken is a rich source of protein, while raspberries and pineapple supply essential fiber and vitamin C.

If you're struggling with the restrictions of the alkaline diet, consult a nutrition professional to help you develop a meal plan that incorporates the main concepts of the alkaline diet, but still suits your individual food preferences.

The GAPS diet was derived from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) created by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas to naturally treat chronic inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract as a result of a damaged gut lining. SCD gained great popularity after a mother, Elaine Gottschall, healed her own child of Ulcerative Colitisand became an advocate for SCD.Elaine Gottschall is also the author of the popular book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle:Intestinal Health Through Diet. Through years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride adjusted her protocol to fit the individual healthcare needs of her patients suffering from a variety of intestinal and neurological conditions as a result of an imbalanced bacterial ecosystem within the GI tract. The GAPS Diet focuses on removing foods that are difficult to digest and damaging to gut flora and replacing them with nutrient-dense foodsto give the intestinal lining a chance to heal and seal.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Losing weight is always a top New Years resolution. This year, a lot of people are talking about and trying intermittent fasting as an option to lose weight.

Becca Fischer decided to give it a try after her boyfriend committed to fasting at the start of the new year.

For the last few months, Ive taken advantage of all the holiday food and really not paid attention to what I was eating. I felt myself gaining weight and craving sugar and all the bad foods, Fischer told KDKAs Heather Abraham.

Fischer does the 16/8 Fast, which means she fasts for 16 hours and is allowed to eat during eight hours. She goes without a meal or snacking from 8 p.m. to noon the next day.

When I make it to noon, I feel good that I made it there, said Fischer. I feel strong and even though Im hungry, I feel like Ive accomplished something by waiting until noon.

If you do a quick search online, youll find a ton of purported benefits to fasting. Some say it can promote autophagy, which is broken down to mean self-eating, a process which helps the body break down old or damaged cells and has other health benefits.

Registered Dietician at UPMC Magee Alleda Rose says, however, a lot of research still needs to be done on autophagy and fasting.

You would have to be fasting for longer than 18 to 24 hours and theres still not significant research to show that you would produce that type of response from your body, says Rose, adding that there have been animal studies but not enough in humans.

Yes, its still what we consider a trend and not an evidence-based practice, said Rose. Fasting, with the research thats out there is just comparable to following a low-calorie diet.

Even so, Fischer says she is seeing results.

She admits part of the reason why could be because shes more aware of what shes eating and most likely limiting her calories intake.

I love carbs. I love bread, I love pasta. I love all of that stuff. So, I dont want to limit myself from having those things. But just being more conscience during those eight hours of what Im putting in my body, Fischer said, whos already lost a few pounds.

Fischer says she doesnt consider intermittent fasting a diet, but more of a lifestyle change. She also says its not sustainable for her long term, but plans on continuing it until she reaches her goal.

There are several ways to do intermittent fasting.

Intermittent Fasting A Trendy New Way To Diet, But Researchers Say More Studies Need To Be Done - CBS Pittsburgh

As many Americans cancelled meat from their diets this January in what became known as Veganuary, Joe Rogan went all in, going on the Carnivore Diet.

For a full 30 days, he ate only meat. Grass-fed beef, elk, eggs, repeat.

"When you have no carbohydrates, one of the things that's amazing is that there's no crashing," Rogan said in an interview with Tom Papa. "My energy levels were amazing." Some proponents believe that the Carnivore Diet can reduce certain health issues that plants might aggravate in a small number of people (get insight on the whole debate here).

But about two weeks in, the picture wasn't so rosy. He'd lost weightafter 30 days, he dropped about seven pounds, he saysbut the side effect of having all meat, all the time was what he called on Instagram "explosive uber diarrhea."

Or, well, worse than explosive uber diarrhea. And he clarifies in the Papa interview that "It needs to have a new name. Diarrhea isn't strong enough for what I was experiencing; it's like someone was tapping into, like, an oil well." We'll leave it to you to get many, many more details on that from the video, but suffice it to say that they're there, and you're probably going to want to know them before you attempt this diet, if you dare.

All told, Rogan says he dropped about 12 pounds during the month. (The diarrhea cleared up after about two weeks, he says.)

Here's what a day on the plan looked like:

A typical breakfast: 6 eggs, or steak.

A typical lunch: "I don't eat lunch, just usually two meals a day."

A typical dinner: Steak or elk.

He supplemented that with baconyou need fat, he says, since meats like elk are very leanplus "lots of vitamins and supplements," including amino acids and fish oil, to make up for the nutrients he was missing from eating a variety of foods during the month.

"What is it like if you extend that to 90 days, or 365 days?...Is it going to start breaking your body down? I don't know." He also admits "I don't know that it's a way to eat all the time."

What he does know, he says, is that there's value to going all in sometimes. Ideally, he says, any restrictive plan is probably best done 6 days on, one day off. But for the Carnivore Diet in January, it was all-in, and there's value to that, he says. "We need a certain amount of rigidity occasionally, that's how you get shit done."

For over 50 years, saturated fats have been tied to heart disease yet recent research underscores that trans fats pose a greater concern. Despite this, dietary fats play an important role in our diets.

Learn how to make better diet choices by avoiding these fat mistakes.

Credit: Westend61/Westend61/GettyImages

Dietary fats help our bodies absorb fat-soluble nutrients as well as help protect our organs, produce energy and keep the body warm, according to the American Heart Association. But it all boils down to choosing the right ones.

Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs), as well as fiber-rich whole grains, can benefit heart health, according to a June 2017 review in Healthcare (Basel). Because of this, we shouldn't lump all fats in the same category, nor can we expect the same benefit from all foods that contain fat.

To shed some light on how the nutrient can benefit your diet, dietitians weigh in on common fat mistakes people make when they're building a meal plan.

Fat is generally considered to be an undesirable macronutrient that people avoid when they're trying to lose weight. While it's true that all fats are more calorie-dense than other macros (fat contains nine calories per gram while protein and carbs have four calories per gram each), you can't assume they are all one and the same.

"There are several types of fats some of them are healthy and your body needs them to function properly," says Hayley Cimring, RD.

Dietary fat helps you absorb essential vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, D, E and K. It's also necessary for maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails and plays a role in blood clotting, muscle movement and managing inflammation, according to Harvard Health Publishing. And did you know fat is important for brain health, too? Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fats we get via our diets, help maintain healthy neural connections and cognitive function, according to an August 2018 article published in Current Neuropharmacology.

"The answer to keeping healthy and managing your weight isn't to cut out fat, it's to replace bad fats with good fats," Cimring says.

Include fat in your diet, but keep the focus on quality. Include heart-healthy fats such as nuts, fatty fish and olive oil in your diet. Saturated fats such as butter, lard, cheese tend to increase inflammation, while MUFAs and PUFAs help to mediate inflammatory responses. Be sure to include a small portion of healthy fat at each meal such as avocado on toast with breakfast, a loose handful of nuts for a snack or brush your chicken with olive oil before baking.

Low-fat yogurts usually contain added sugars to make up for the lack of fat.

Because fat provides more calories per gram than other macronutrients, lower-fat diets are often the first line of intervention in weight loss.

But low-fat does not necessarily equate to healthier. "Low-fat and fat-free foods are usually promoted as healthy-eating options, and many people fall for this marketing gimmick. What they don't know is that these foods are often loaded with sugar and other additives that help improve their taste," Chiming says.

For example, a fat-free strawberry yogurt can contain as much sugar as a candy bar. And no one wants to be tricked into thinking that flavored yogurt is any healthier than candy.

If you must buy something low-fat or fat-free, read the nutrition label to make sure the product isnt loaded with sugar or additives and is actually lower in calories than its full-fat counterpart, Cimring says. Instead, choose the low-fat option over the non-fat to find a better balance between fats and sugars. The golden rule is to steer clear from manufactured and industrially processed fats and take in more real natural food fats that are good for your weight and health." Cimring recommends including avocados, olives, flaxseeds and fatty fish in your diet. But since all fat is calorie-dense, its still important to watch your portions.

Don't forgo portion control when it comes to healthy fats. "I hear a lot of people say things like, 'I add coconut oil and olive oil to everything,'" Shena Jaramillo, RD, says. A little goes a long way when it comes to fat intake. At a certain point, you aren't adding a lot of nutritional value to your day but you are still adding a lot of calories, which can lead to weight gain. Too much of a good thing isn't, well, good.

Nuts and avocadoes are perfect examples of healthy fat sources, but since they are packed with calories, you'll want to exercise portion control. A serving of nuts is just one ounce, according to the USDA. Because caloric values vary depending on the nut, one ounce (or a loose handful) ranges from 150 to 200 calories. You'll get 18 cashews in one ounce, 35 peanuts in an ounce and 24 almonds in an ounce, per the Cleveland Clinic.

And when we eat too many fats and focus on one food group, we miss out on the benefits of a balanced diet. Here's how your healthy plate should look like: Half of it should be filled with veggies and fruit (with the majority of the chunk being veggies), a quarter of the plate should be dedicated to healthy protein and the other quarter to whole grains, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Include a bit of healthy fat like olive oil while limiting butter and avoiding trans fat. If you're eating too many fats regardless of whether they're healthy you may be missing out on heart-healthy fruits and vegetables as well as fiber-rich whole grains.

Keep the large containers of nuts off of your desk, pre-measure your portions or buy single-size serving bags for better caloric control. Remember that just because it is a healthy fat, doesnt mean it should take up a huge portion of your diet. Balance your macros to include protein; complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, quinoa, whole-grain bread (with around 4 grams per slice), beans and legumes; and focus on eating at least two cups of veggies per day.

Try to think of your diet holistically to get a better picture of health.

Classifying food as "good" or "bad" doesn't serve us in any positive way. "If we attribute moral value to our food choices, then we give food too much credit," Rachel Fine, RD, says.

"Instead, a judgment-free, habit-based approach works to build mindful eating behaviors that enable you to tune into your intuitive feelings of hunger, fullness and satisfaction." Psychologically, an inclusive approach allows for enjoyment of all foods. Once we grant ourselves unconditional permission to eat our favorite foods, we relieve the weight of responsibility that these foods hold over us. "We have to realize that no one food will ever make or break your health. Our food choices make up a larger part of our day, week or year," Fine says.

"An inclusive approach is key to long-term success. Instead of rules, make choices," Fine says. "Add more nutrient-dense, plant-based whole foods like fresh produce, nuts, seeds and legumes to your meals. Use each meal or snack as an opportunity to honor your personal preferences while feeling confident that your choice will play a role in your personal health, whether that is your physical health or your mental health, or both."
