The relationship between diet and Parkinson's risk is complex but one study found consuming two common nutrients in combination "nearly doubled risk" of the progressive brain disorder.

The symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which usually develop gradually and are mild at first, primarily affect physical movement. Although there is no cure for Parkinson's, researchers have found a number of risk factors.
It may come as a surprise to find out that a couple of common nutrients have been shown to increase the risk of Parkinson's.
