There is a common belief that broad beans are good for Parkinson's disease. Broad bean is a plant from which the Parkinson's drug called levodopa is obtained and contains this substance.
If the patient consumes too much broad bean while using levodopa-based medication, the active substance contained in the food will reach the brain and cause involuntary movements (dyskinesia) in the body. > together, psychiatric symptoms such as delusions and suspiciousness may occur. Since the amount of levodopa in broad beans cannot be measured, there is a high risk of patients being exposed to overdose effects.
Therefore, it should be known that broad beans are not a protective diet in Parkinson's disease and may even cause side effects.
For those who do not use the drugs in question, broad beans are not a protective diet. It does not cause the negative effects mentioned above.
