With Parkinson’s cases projected to reach 25 million by 2050, experts told Fox News Digital that healthy habits can help reduce risk and slow onset, though the disease can’t be prevented. Regular aerobic exercise—linked to a 50% lower risk—and resistance training are emphasized. They also cite antioxidant-rich, Mediterranean-style eating, limiting toxins, prioritizing quality sleep, managing stress, staying mentally and socially active, and avoiding smoking and heavy alcohol. The guidance is low-risk, not a guarantee, and early medical evaluation is urged for motor changes, loss of smell, REM sleep behavior disorder, or persistent constipation.
