What is the best breakfast food for PD ?

[KERRINGTON]

Should be easy to find, but hasn't been. Thanks

[Divii]

Should be fiber coz most of us are constipated

[KERRINGTON in reply to Divii]

Thanks, I do take oatmeal. I have to watch it though, because it makes my constipation worse...nothing is easy

[Divii in reply to KERRINGTON]

True

Oatmeal. Oatmeal is high in fiber, which is perfect for seniors with Parkinson's disease, because it can combat constipation, a common Parkinson's symptom. Combining high-fiber foods with six to eight glasses of water a day goes a long way toward keeping bowel movements regular. 🥊

Thanks for your input. I do have oatmeal about 5 times a week, I especially like it because I am greatly fatigued, and it is so easy. but I already get too much fiber, as it has the opposite affect on me.. !

Thanks. I’m thinking of trying the MIND diet.

[KERRINGTON in reply to Esperanto]

I have come across MIND diet, now and then, but it wasn't till you mentioned it did I remember it. Out of sight...out of mind, mine ! Mouthwatering menus. Thanks.

Dr Mischley advocates for the MIND diet, too

[bassofspades]

the best thing to have for breakfast is nothing. Skipping breakfast is the easiest way to induce autophagy and is foundational to intermittent fasting.

But if you must eat breakfast, eggs are good, hard boiled, soft boiled or fried in Irish butter or ghee, skip the toast. Avocado is good too. Coffee, black or with heavy cream and coconut oil.

Nutritionally trained functional medicine doctors, those truly in the know, do not advocate any oatmeal in the diet. It is simply a starch that was never part of the hunter-gatherer diet. It's like eating a piece of toast, with fiber, that turns to sugar. Dr Mark Hyman emphasizes this point repeatedly.
