Did you know that Parkinsons Disease is the second most prevalent neurological disorder after Alzheimers? A review on the association between heavy metals and Parkinsons in the National Library of Medicine December 2022 stated that incidence of Parkinsons is set to double by 2040.
Parkinsons is a neurological condition whereby brain cells are damaged over time that leads to loss of dopamine. This can cause slow movements, tremor of limbs and muscle rigidity. There are many other associated symptoms like depression, anxiety, memory and sleep issues.
Although there can be a genetic link, the study mentioned states that greater than 90% of cases are related to environmental exposures.
Prevention is key to reduce the impact of heavy metals on our health. We need to take personal responsibility to limit our exposure to toxins. This may include eating organic food, getting a water filter, using natural personal care products and becoming more aware of the environmental pollutants around us, including in the home; then take steps to eliminate them wherever possible.
