Eating seaweed ‘may help to prevent Parkinson’s disease’

Eating seaweed may help prevent Parkinson’s disease, according to a new study. Scientists believe Ecklonia cava, a type of brown algae seaweed, can protect against this neurodegenerative disorder. The research suggests that antioxidants found in seaweed can activate enzymes that inhibit the production of harmful molecules linked to Parkinson’s. This finding could offer a new avenue for prevention and treatment of the disease.
