Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for everyone. A
balanced and nutritious diet including three meals a day (or four
smaller meals) is recommended.
You should aim to eat a mixture of:
- starchy foods - for example bread, rice or potatoes
- fruit and vegetables
- dairy products
- proteins - for example meat, fish or beans
A small number of people taking levodopa medication may find a
large protein meal slows the effectiveness of the medication. In
these relatively few cases, we recommend discussing the matter with
your specialist.
For more information on diet, our Parkinson's and Diet booklet
is available to download or order from our Publications pages.
