Keto for PD, Some Evidence

…What are the benefits of Ketosis?
Achieving a state of ketosis can have many benefits from treating chronic illnesses to optimizing performance. While the benefits are well documented, the underlying mechanism of action is not entirely known. The diet seems to enhance the ability of mitochondria, the power plants of our cells, to deliver our bodies’ energy needs in a manner that reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Through optimizing the way our body uses energy, we fortify our bodies’ ability to take on the ever-growing stressors of our modern way of living.

Vitamin D in Vascular Calcification: A Double-Edged Sword?

#q
How much sun exposure is needed for vit D instead of supplements?

answer from https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-d-from-sun#time-of-day

At noon, the sun is at its highest point, and its UVB rays are most intense. That means you need less time in the sun to make sufficient vitamin D (5Trusted Source).

Many studies also show that the body is most efficient at making vitamin D at noon (6Trusted Source7Trusted Source).

For example, in the UK, 13 minutes of midday sunlight exposure during summer three times per week is enough to maintain healthy levels among Caucasian adults (5Trusted Source).

Another study found that 30 minutes ttof midday summer sun exposure in Oslo, Norway was equivalent to consuming 10,000–20,000 IU of vitamin D (8Trusted Source).

The commonly recommended daily dose of vitamin D is 600 IU (15 mcg) (3).

Vitamin D is critical for brain health…

…In 1982, seven people in Santa Clara County, California were diagnosed with Parkinsonism after having used MPPP contaminated with MPTP. In 1992, two of the seven patients were successfully treated at Lund University Hospital in Sweden with neural grafts of fetal tissue. One patient, who had been essentially paralyzed, regained enough motor function to ride a bicycle.[1]

High Prevalence of Undiagnosed Insulin Resistance in Non-Diabetic Subjects with Parkinson’s Disease – IOS Press

Background: Reduced glucose tolerance has been long recognized as a potential risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD), and increasing scrutiny is currently being placed on insulin resistance (IR) as a pathologic driver of neurodegeneration. However,

for comparison, prevalence of Diabetes in the general population:

Depending on age groups, global diabetes prevalence is about 5% for the age group 35-39 years, 10% for the age group 45-49 years, 15% for the age group 55-59 years, and close to 20% starting at age group 65-69 years. (1) Diabetes prevalence numbers are largely determined by people with type2 diabetes who comprise about 90% of the total population. These individuals are characterized by various degrees of relative insulin deficiency in conjunction with a wide spectrum of insulin resistance
