Parkinsonism is another ailment of “prosperous old people” that is swiftly taking over developed countries. In this case, motor function is exposed to neurodegenerative effects. No wonder in the old days this disease was called “trembling paralysis.” “Nicotine and Parkinson’s disease”

Symptoms:

• muscle weakness
• mobility restriction
• trembling of various parts of the body
• downed gait

Typically, these symptoms appear after 60, although there are earlier forms. How can one not recall the endlessly charming and charismatic Michael J. Fox – the protagonist of the famous trilogy “Back to the Future” – his illness struck at 34 years old. For over 20 years this man has been living, not wanting to come to terms with the terrible sentence: “the disease is incurable.” 

Although the general prognosis for this disease is slightly less pessimistic than the previous one, there are currently no cure methods, but some methods are known for easing and preventing symptoms. And here are some interesting ones! 

Nicotine use is very helpful in preventing Parkinson’s disease. 

You only need to control the dose of it. But, everything is not as simple as we would like. Mutual rejection of nicotine and Parkinson’s Syndrome has been noticed for a long time, but it was not possible to use tobacco as a medicine due to the fact that diseases caused by smoking often kill faster than Parkinsonism itself.

In 2016 the journal “Annals of Neurology” published research data confirming that the use of certain vegetables, which include minimal doses of nicotine, is very beneficial and can prevent the development of Parkinson’s disease. We are talking about such representatives of the nightshade family as green sweet pepper, bitter peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes. People who want to live a long life, staying awake and full of energy until old age, should eat these vegetables! Especially if their activities are highly traumatic.
