Prevention

Since the cause of Parkinson's disease is still unclear, effective methods to prevent this disease are still a mystery. Many studies have shown that regular aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Several other studies have shown that people who consume the caffeine in coffee, tea, and cola are less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than people who do not consume caffeine. Green tea can also reduce the risk of this disease. However, it is not clear whether caffeine can actually prevent Parkinson's disease. There is currently insufficient evidence that caffeinated beverages are used to prevent Parkinson's disease.
