Can anyone recommend a Cookery Book with recipre for those living with Parkinson’s . My husband is the cook and I woukd like to help him in changing our diet to one which is more Parkinson’s “friendly”. Thank you.
Hi Rabbit1
Did you find anything?
I dont have a specific book to recommend, usually just search the net for something that sounds yummy
We try to follow a Mediterranean diet as much as possible.
With frequent asian cuisine side trips (amazing fish recipes). Hubby has lost some of his taste so some proper spicy food does the trick
Small edit - Forgot to add that we have removed all processed meats such as cold cuts. Meats are served rarely except for chicken & no ready meals.
Maybe we all could post meal ideas.
Todays lunch Jerusalem artichoke soup with shiitake mushroom toast.
Microgreen salad on the side.
Bon appetit
Low protein all the way! Protein interferes with L-dopa absorption. You are not supposed to take medication such as Madopar 30-60 minutes either side of a meal because of this. I check labels for protein content of everything and aim for less than one third protein content in a meal or snack, so the fat, fibre and carbohydrate content cushions the effects. Vegetarian meals and lots of veg really help. ( My husband has diabetes type 1 as well as Parkinsons so he gets a lot of ready meals and veg.)
Hi, Everbody , apologies for the delay in responding. I have been able to gather a number of recipes fiollowing your advice. We are moving towards a vegetarian diet, with the help of our veggie friends.
