Recent research studying almost 44,000 men and women finds that higher levels of vitamin C ແລະ ວິຕາມິນ E in the diet are associated with lower risk of Parkinson’s Disease1.
ວິຕາມິນ C and E are antioxidants2. ສານຕ້ານອະນຸມູນອິດສະລະຕ້ານຄວາມຄຽດ oxidative, ເຊິ່ງເກີດຈາກໂມເລກຸນທີ່ມີປະຕິກິລິຍາສູງທີ່ເອີ້ນວ່າອະນຸມູນອິດສະລະ.2. ຄວາມກົດດັນອົກຊີມີແຫຼ່ງຕ່າງໆເຊັ່ນ: ແສງແດດ, ມົນລະພິດທາງອາກາດ, ຄວັນຢາສູບແລະການອອກກໍາລັງກາຍ2. ຄວາມກົດດັນຂອງທາດອົກຊີເຈນສາມາດເຮັດໃຫ້ເກີດຄວາມເສຍຫາຍຂອງເຊນ (ໂດຍຜ່ານຄວາມເສຍຫາຍຕໍ່ໂມເລກຸນໃນຮ່າງກາຍ) ແລະສາມາດເຮັດໃຫ້ເກີດພະຍາດຕ່າງໆເຊັ່ນມະເຮັງ, ພະຍາດຫົວໃຈ, ພະຍາດເບົາຫວານ, ພະຍາດ Alzheimer, ພະຍາດ Parkinson ແລະແມ້ກະທັ້ງພະຍາດຕາ.2. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ສານຕ້ານອະນຸມູນອິດສະລະອາດຈະເປັນປະໂຫຍດເພື່ອປ້ອງກັນຄວາມເສຍຫາຍຂອງໂມເລກຸນແລະຮັກສາສຸຂະພາບຂອງຈຸລັງ.
A recent Swedish study explored the effects of certain dietary factors on the incidence of development of ພະຍາດ Parkinson ຂອງ (PD) in almost 44,000 men and women1. These factors included dietary intake of ວິຕາມິນ C, ວິຕາມິນ E and beta-carotene1. ການໄດ້ຮັບສານອາຫານຈຸລະພາກສະເພາະເຫຼົ່ານີ້ຖືກປຽບທຽບກັບການເກີດຂອງ PD ໃນກຸ່ມ1.
Beta-carotene ບໍ່ມີຄວາມສໍາພັນກັບຄວາມສ່ຽງ PD1. However, intake of ວິຕາມິນ C and E was inversely correlated to the risk of PD1 ຊີ້ໃຫ້ເຫັນວ່າສານຕ້ານອະນຸມູນອິດສະລະເຫຼົ່ານີ້ໄດ້ສະຫນອງຜົນກະທົບດ້ານ neuroprotective ບາງຢ່າງທີ່ຫຼຸດລົງການເກີດຂອງ PD.
This study may allow the inference that it may be beneficial to increase these ວິຕາມິນ in the diet to reduce risk of PD, but it does not necessarily mean that the association seen was caused by the intake of these ວິຕາມິນ, as people ingesting more of these ວິຕາມິນ might just have healthier diets and lifestyles. It may be the case that there was a causal relationship but this is hard to prove from an association study. There could also be a non-causal relationship; supporting this is the finding from an older study comparing levels of antioxidants in the blood of PD patients which found no evidence that antioxidants contributed to onset or progression of PD3. Lastly, both theories may be true, where ວິຕາມິນ C and E in diet played a minor role. Regardless, the overall message of intaking enough vitamin C (such as through eating oranges and strawberries) and ວິຕາມິນ E (such as through eating nuts and seeds) is probably conducive to good health.
