Tremors are quite common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the early stages of this disease, your face may show a little or no expression. Your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred. Parkinson&#8217;s disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Stages of Parkinson&#8217;s Disease?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are 5 main stages of this Disease:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stage 1:<\/strong> Parkinson\u2019s is the <span class=\"SDZsVb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" data-term-for-update=\"clement\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiM64XY8L3jAhUUWX0KHfHACKQQ_SowAHoECAAQCw\">clement<\/span> form.

They may not yet interfere with your daily life and tasks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stage 2:<\/strong> The progression from stage 1 to stage 2 can take months or even years. Each person\u2019s experience will be different. They may experience -muscle stiffness, tremors, changes in facial expressions, trembling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stage 3:<\/strong> At this middle stage, symptoms reach a turning point. While you\u2019re unlikely to experience new symptoms, they may be more noticeable. They may also interfere with all of your daily tasks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stage 4:<\/strong> The progression from stage 3 to stage 4 brings about significant changes. At this point, you will experience great difficulty standing without a walker or assistive device.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stage 5:<\/strong> Also, at this stage, individuals with Parkinson\u2019s may experience confusion, delusions, and hallucinations.

These usually begin in the later stages of Parkinson&#8217;s disease. Such cognitive problems aren&#8217;t very responsive to medications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Emotional Changes<\/strong>: You may experience depression, sometimes in the very early stages. Getting treatment for depression can make it easier to handle the other challenges of Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Swallowing Problems:<\/strong> You may develop difficulties with swallowing as your condition progresses. Saliva may hoard in your mouth due to slowed swallowing, leading to drooling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Chewing and Eating Problems:<\/strong> Late-stage this disease affects the muscles in your mouth, making chewing difficult. This can lead to choking and poor nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sleep Problems and Sleep Disorders<\/strong>: People with this disease often have sleep problems, including waking up frequently throughout the night, waking up early or falling asleep during the day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bladder problems:<\/strong> It may cause <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.gomedii.com\/health-care\/bladder-outlet-obstruction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bladder<\/a> problems, including being unable to control urine or having difficulty urinating.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Obstipation:<\/strong> Many people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease develop <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.gomedii.com\/diseases-prevention\/suffering-from-constipation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">constipation<\/a>, mainly due to a slower digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Preventions of Parkinson&#8217;s Disease?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are 3 main preventions of Parkinson&#8217;s disease include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Turmeric:<\/strong> This spice contains curcumin, an antioxidant ingredient. It may help to prevent the clumping of a protein involved in Parkinson&#8217;s disease, at least one laboratory study has found.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Flavonoids:<\/strong> Consuming another type of antioxidant flavonoids may lower the risk of developing this disease, according to research. Flavonoids are present in berries, apples, some vegetables, tea, and red grapes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Avoiding broil cooking oils:<\/strong> Scientists have linked toxic chemicals, known as aldehydes, to Parkinson&#8217;s, Alzheimer&#8217;s and other neurodegenerative diseases, and some cancers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is Walking Good for Parkinson&#8217;s Disease?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the research, neurology suggests that regular, moderate exercise, such as walking briskly, can help to improve the symptoms of Parkinson&#8217;s disease, the chronic motor system disorder. It mainly affects people over the age of 50.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Best Diet for Parkinson&#8217;s?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While there is no prescription for a PD-specific diet, to maintain overall good health most people living with Parkinson&#8217;s disease should eat a variety of\u00a0whole\u00a0grains, vegetables, fruits, milk and dairy products, and protein-rich foods such as meat and beans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the above blog, we have shared Parkinson&#8217;s disease and its stages, symptoms, complications, and preventions.
