Although I have heard of flax seeds before, I never realized how amazing they are. Apparently, they can lower homocysteine levels. Since any form of levodopa raises homocysteine levels (associated with vascular disease and dementia), this could be especially important for PD fighters.

Apparently, 1 to 2 TBSP of flaxseed a day (grind it up and keep it in the fridge) added to your smoothies or oatmeal can help.

Here is an article about them:

I have two heaping spoons of ground flaxseed every morning with my yogurt fruit grains and nuts. I would also say that it's excellent to prevent constipation. Thank you for that useful information.
