=Parkinson life style:=

People with Parkinson's have a much different life style. For example, patients would have to go through several rehabilitation sessions to help control the disease. Also, patients would need to take in several herbs and supplements to lessen the disease. Currently, no diets are available for Parkinson's patients, so patients just eat healthy most of the time.
