While no single food can cure the disease, certain beans may offer unique benefits, with fava beans containing levodopa, a compound used in Parkinson's medication.

Motor fluctuations affect a significant number of individuals with advanced Parkinson's disease, reducing their response to levodopa medication and overall quality of life. Protein restricted diets, specifically the protein redistribution diet (PRD), have been shown to be an effective non-pharmacological approach for ameliorating motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease.
