Parkinson’s Disease and Insulin Resistance

[Kia17]

Increasing number of studies suggesting that Insulin Resistance negatively impacts dopamine functioning in the brain. Parkinson's symptoms, including tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement, are caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain. This study suggests that nearly two thirds of non-diabetic people with PD may be insulin resistant, despite having normal blood sugar, and in some cases, despite being lean.

Which is why we should never consume sugar or corn syrup.

I know, I know. I made the mistake of having keyline pie for dessert tonight & felt terrible about an hour later, but it was oh so good going down.

Well, I just don't eat refined anything, including oil and sugar. My wife was diabetic 9 months ago and then we both went vegan high carb low fat (WFPB) and we're both doing great. My system-wide inflammation is super low, I have more energy for exercise, etc etc etc. She's no longer diabetic and she is enjoying being able to eat carbs again.
