In a recent article published in the journal npj Parkinson’s Disease, researchers investigated how lifestyle factors and environmental exposures affect the severity of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease over time.
They found that the consumption of black tea was linked to milder motor symptoms in one form of the disease. At the same time, pesticide exposure and the consumption of caffeinated soda have been implicated in worsening motor symptoms in another disease type.
