Another biochemical indicator that increases the development of Parkinson’s disease is an increase in the blood amino acid – homocysteine. Folic acid and vitamin B12 help reduce its content. Folic acid is found in large quantities in green plant foods: green peas, spinach, lettuce, etc. There is a lot of vitamin B12 in the liver. In addition, it is recommended to take sunflower seeds, nuts, soy products, olive or linseed oil.
