Discover the amazing effects of bell peppers

A new study published in Annals of Neurology shows that eating a lot of bell peppers may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's is currently a disease that affects millions of people in the United States, which is a movement disorder that is often difficult to diagnose and gets worse over time.

The real cause is still unknown, but the disease usually develops when neurons are responsible for producing dopamine, a hormone that helps regulate body movement, trouble and death. Symptoms include tremor, slow movement, muscle stiffness, and instability. This disease is still frightening in that there is no cure.

A new study published in Annals of Neurology shows that eating a lot of bell peppers may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

Researchers from the University of Washington, Seattle have asked 490 newly diagnosed people to become ill and 644 other non-sick participants share their eating and tobacco use habits. Researchers also found that people who consumed more and more foods such as bell peppers, tomatoes, tomato and potato juice had a lower risk of Parkinson's disease. Bell peppers seem to show the most special effect, when eating 2-4 times a week can reduce the risk of developing this disease by 30%.

But why focus on these plants? Previous research has shown that nicotine in tobacco - derived from the same plant family as bell peppers - may help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. However, smoking causes many other serious health problems. Fortunately, edible nicotine still seems to effectively prevent the disease without adversely affecting the health of the patient.

On another note, in this study, the reduced risk associated with the use of these foods mainly occurred in men and women who had never smoked or only smoked for a short time. However, this can also be considered a good sign for Parkinson's patients and those at risk.
