Per Cleveland Clinic:
About 10% of cases are genetic, meaning you inherit them from one or both parents. However, the remaining 90% or so are idiopathic, which means they happen for reasons that are still unknown.
And here's something that I believe much: healthy food and hard exertion. so here's John Hopkin's suggestion on it. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/parkinsons-disease/fighting-parkinson-disease-with-exercise-and-diet
Frankly food,exercise and stress management especially with trusting great friends does wonders to our overall health. It seems to have worked mostly for 80 yrs on me, even without a few friends whom I seek every hour. Ciao.

In my situation/environment...which may not similar to some others....I have kept many PD symptoms at bay. I've learned to enjoy long walks, stretching exercise twice daily and my small exercise bike. I make my own granola and cling to Mediterranean foods. I insist on active life....yard and house chores. If there is inconvenience and pain in such self discipline...I prefer IT to the pain and inconvenience of PD.
NO, not all is perfect. I am 85. Doctors issue meds, but do not have time to give experienced advice. There is poor PD advice on YouTube. BUT there are also good recognized YouTube clinics with supportive helps. Watch and listen and discipline. Avoid feeding on DEPRESSIVE TV news, movies, and story lines where you watch "people hurting people".
NO, not all is perfect...there is some suffering from PD hovering in my life and distorting my brain function.
