Hello, Atticus.
Sorry for the delay in answering you.
I see the approach as too rigid, conventional.
Depending on how far you are willing to go, I would add one thing or another.
I'm writing my book and it's hard for me to disconnect.
Coffee
Coffee prevents Parkinson's in an amazing way (2-3 cups daily in regular consumers):
- a lower risk of suffering from it, between 20 and 70% (Sobel 2000, Ascherio 2001);
- if developed, it will appear on average 8 years later, from 64 to 72 (Benedetti 2000);
- not consuming coffee increases the risk five times (Ross 2000, Hu 2007).
Caffeine is very similar to some iron chelators and itīs a vasoconstrictor of the barrier that protects the brain (although it is a peripheral vasodilator, which is why it relieves asthma).
And it is part of the most amazing cocktail of preventive habits known so far: coffee, tobacco and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - not aspirin - by 87% (Powers 2008).
I don't know if that's more or less what you'd be interested in.
Other aspects to be dealt with: homocysteine. A level higher than 20 micromoles, increases 8.64 times the risk of Parkinson's (Saadat 2018).
