Neurological conditions

The interplay between nutrition and neurological disorders has gained increasing recognition. Various studies have shown how malnutrition and nutritional imbalances or intake of various drugs can exacerbate symptoms and disorders.

​

Certain conditions like Parkinsons disease, Dementia, Stroke, Multiple sclerosis , Ataxia and Motor neurone disease lead to a higher susceptibility to nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal disorders and feeding difficulties.
