dc.description.abstract | Brain disorders and diseases are a common occurrence and a cause of death in many individuals. There is currently no cure available for many of these conditions and most current treatments aim to manage symptoms through strenuous pharmaceutical treatment. Many problems can arise from this approach, including adverse side effects and financial hardships. Furthermore, people from lower-income households are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting proper care for brain disorders and diseases. An abundance of recent research has focused on potential preventative measures and symptom management approaches that reduce disease burden and increase quality of life. This literary review will discuss dietary and exercise interventions that are reported to have positive effects in patients with four neurological diseases: Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. These four disorders and diseases were chosen for this report because of their increasing prevalence in the world and because there is a substantial amount of evidence available regarding potential interventions. Identifying the right intervention requires an understanding of the mechanisms and genetic components involved in the progression of each disease, as well as the individual needs of each patient. Studies have shown that these accessible interventions can serve to reduce disease risk in the general population and improve the health of those who are already burdened with disease. | |
