Heath Diet - Eating for good Medication and Food Interaction in Parkinson's

This is not a diet as such, more a informational narrative about eating the strict foods to sustain with the medication the sick person is taking for Parkinson's. The diet is well balanced and nutritious and will be highly useful in the long run as it will increase the well-being of the sick person by giving them more energy and helping their bodies work more effectively.

The most generally prescribed drug is Levodopa [there are many more but this is the one I have had the most dealings with] and the information I am giving you is based on some of the experiences I have had in my years of nursing.

Pointers in taking the Parkinson's medication

This rehabilitation generally works best on a empty stomach, give it to the sick person 30 minutes before their meal where-ever potential [or wait at least 1 hour after a meal]. Ensure that it is taken with a full glass of water as this aids in the absorption of the medication [and assists with the daily water requirement].

This drug can cause nausea on a empty stomach and the physician could try to control it by combining 2 of the 'dopa' class drugs [levodopa and carbidopa - named Sinemet]. If the nausea continues the sick person might have to go on a cut off drug to control nausea. I have listed a few tips below to try control this nausea naturally:

* avoid citrus juices - these are acidic and can increase the feeling of nausea
* do not let the sick person consume fried, greasy or sweet foods - just typing that line made me slightly nauseous
* let the sick person eat smaller amounts with more frequency - this could help as the sick person will not feel bloated
* try not to mix hot and cold foods at the same meal - give them a hot pudding with their hot meal etc
* if the smell makes the sick person nauseous - feed him or her cold or room temperature food [eliminates the smell of hot food which can be off putting to anything with nausea]
* try getting the sick person to drink in the middle of meals rather than with meals
* let them snack on light and bland foods - crackers or plain bread - if they wake up feeling nauseated in the morning [before breakfast]. Sometimes if the sick person eats a high protein snack [lean meat or cheese] before going to bed they will not wake up with the nausea
* generally let the sick person eat when they are feeling less nauseous [can be hard at times if you are seeing after more than one patient]

Remember - all the time consult the patients physician before making any major changes to his/her medication or diet.

www.WowYouAreReallyLucky.com Whole wheat bread is healthy bread. When you shop in the grocery store it is very difficult to find true whole wheat bread. Most are enriched wheat or whole and enriched wheat blends. You can literally spend hours in the bread aisle reading the labels when looking for good bread to buy. The first and only wheat flour on the label should be whole or 100% wheat flour. That means that anything else other than whole wheat flour or 100% wheat flour is not whole wheat even if is says so on the label. You must look at the ingredient list to be sure because the front of the package is written by the marketing department and it can say wheat and not really be true whole wheat. There is no such thing as white whole wheat. White whole wheat bread is a blend of whole wheat flour and white flour. Many breads are the same blended flours and then colored with caramel color or molasses so white whole wheat bread just doesn't have the color added. It is a fact that whole wheat flours are far more nutritious than white flours. They are complete with the natural bran, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Enriched can not compare to the natural wholesome goodness of whole grains in real whole grain bread. Be sure to check your ingredient list to get the best.
