Parkinson’s can be treated with natural food ingredients – study

Osaka City University (OCU) announced late last month that sesaminol, ‘purified from sesame seed by-products’, could be used to prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease. No drug for Parkinson’s, the preventative treatment can be used to prevent neuronal damage that will reduce the production of dopamine. In vitro studies have already shown that sesaminol has a number of beneficial factors when it comes to dealing with oxidative stress, and in vivo experiments have shown that a steady portion of the sesame by-product in a person’s diet increases production. of dopamine and motor function, according to the university. -Yuasa said in a statement: “We only have treatment treatments.” Sesaminol is found in the shells of sesame seeds. Researchers have found that sesame seed shells that were part of the process of extracting sesame seed oils contain an abundance of this chemical. Parkinson’s, a progressive disease that affects millions of people worldwide, causes tremors and stiffness, as well as difficulty walking and talking. Despite limited research, intensive exercise is associated with improving the lives of patients. The researchers found that dopamine levels among Parkinson’s mice, similar to those seen in Parkinson’s patients, increased after a steady 36-day sesaminol diet.

Kojima-Yuasa said the new therapy ‘prevents diseases with natural foods’, which can affect ‘many’ by increasing the rise in dopamine levels. promote social health. ”
