Vitamin B-6 Linked to Lower Risk of Parkinson's Disease

Increased intake of vitamin B-6, from diet and supplements, could cut the risk of Parkinson's Disease by half suggests a prospective study from the Netherlands. After an average of ten years of follow up, and using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, physical examinations of the subjects, including neurological exams, were conducted at baseline and at three yearly intervals.

The average vitamin B-6 intake was 1.63 milligrams per day, average B-12 intake was 5.3 micrograms per day, and average folate intake was 218.7 micrograms per day. The researchers found that people who had daily vitamin B-6 intakes of 230.9 micrograms or more had an associated risk of developing Parkinson's Disease 54 percent lower than people who had average daily intakes lower than 185.1 micrograms, "Because oxidative stress may be prominent in Parkinson's Disease pathogenesis, higher vitamin B-6 intake may thus reduce Parkinson's Disease risk through antioxidant effects," said the authors of the study.

This Week's Conference Call

Last week's Conference Call featured Richard Renton who elaborated on Youngevity's EFA and EFA Plus capsules, along with Joanne Conaway who joined the call to give details about her upcoming nutrition tour!

Richard discussed the basic fatty acid components from EFA and EFA Plus: Linolenic acid and Linoleic acid. EFAs are fatty acids that are required in the human diet since our bodies cannot produce them. Linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid that is in the omega-3 fatty acids group. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to have membrane-enhancing capabilities in brain cells. Consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease. The best sources of omega-3 EFAs are found primarily from cold-water fish oils or in flaxseed. Linoleic acid is at the root of the Omega-6 fatty acid family.Omega-6 fatty acids affect the balance and equilibrium of the body. The omega-6 fatty acids are primarily plant-derived oils and the best sources are Borage Oil and Primrose Oil. Omega-6 deficiency symptoms include dry hair, hair loss, and poor wound healing of the skin.

As a member of Youngevity's Scientific Advisory Board, with a background in nursing and nutritional support, Joanne Conaway is planning to hit the road soon as a nutritional meeting host! She joined the call to help explain her holistic health and business perspectives.
