Dear Doctor,

Is it related that the nutrients be added if you do more execises as it might affect the level of antioxidants in the blood?

Jumex has long been neuron-protective property.jumex However, it also increase cellular energy production that has had bad potential effects., The enhanced cellular function increase free radicals and aggravate stress. It may be necessary to periodically re-adjust the nutrients.Is Jumex related with the nutrients?

Kindly advise.

Thanks

Dear Teo,
In the case of exercises, generally only athletes need to be concerned about additional nutrients.. Humans evolved to hunt, run, gather food, and otherwise engage in physical labor, and meet their nutrient needs with their normal daily diet. Athletes, however, have a much higher activity level than normal, and may need extra nutrients.

Water is an exception. This most vital of all nutrients is easily lost by all humans and needs to be constantly replenished

In the case of people with PD, there is an additional factor.. PD is stressful and stress produces free radicals, and thus cellular damage.While there is no evidence that dietary nutrients can have an effect upon the area of the brain affected by PD, diet most certainly affects the health otherwise.Here, the first line of defense is a nourishing . Foods contain an array and balance of phytochemicals, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals that cannot be duplicated in pills and other supplements. Vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, whole grains, cooked legumes, and fish should be the backbone and mainstay of the daily A multivitamin supplement is a good addition, but does not take the place of foods.. An annual physical examination with lab tests will determine whether there is a need for other supplements, and this certainly can be the case as we age – vitamin B12, for example, is less well absorbed.

Jumex (selegeline) and in fact all PD medications can have undesirable side effects that increase various kinds of stress, and here again, a wholesome diet, plus exercise, is the best way to combat these effects.jumex(selegeline) You are doing exactly the right things in following a good exercise program and eating healthful foods.

Dear Doctor,

Thank you for your excellent reply.

However I still believe when you exercise more you need more nutrients to protect yourself from oxidative stress whether you are athletics or not..

Because of increasing energy production in the cell (from some medicine, exercise or stress, etc ) will increase free radicals production as well, this is the natural biological process in the body.

But regular exercising will increase endogenous antioxidant enzyme that enhance antioxidant mechanism in the overall.

The aging process, antioxidant level and oxidative stress are dynamic process which we have to monitor every 6 months or every year at least i.e blood test on your nutrient level.

I understand most PD patients have deficiencies or decreasing of antioxidants, folic acid and Vitamin B 12 or 6 and these deficiences occur in old adult too.

To improve your nutrient level in natural and safe way mean you have more fruits, vegetables and fish ( source of Co enzym Q 10

Kindly advise.

Best regards

Dear Teo,
Yes, it’s very true that exercise, medications, and in fact even metabolizing the food we eat, results in the production of free radicals. However, a healthy human body is very well adapted to combat these free radicals by producing its own metabolic pathways and enzymes to quench the free rad The key, first and foremost, is a high-quality diet that supports the production of such enzymes – as you say, fruits, vegetables, and fish are excellent.

Having said that, however, this can change with age, disease conditions such as PD, and many types of medications. That is why CoQ10 and creatine are being studied, to see if they can help alleviate PD.. It’s also good to remember that long-time use of levodopa can result in higher levels of homocysteine in the blood, and if this happens, supplements of B vitamins are needed.
