I find drinking carbonated water not only
is really thirst quenching, but also helps when I’m having difficulty in
swallowing due to Parkinson’s.
I couldn't find any solid medical evidence or
data, but many suggest drinking tonic water, helps with painful muscle cramps
caused by Parkinson’s. Apparently it’s the quinine in tonic water that is
believed to be the helpful ingredient here.
To prevent spilling, I don’t fill a glass
with more than two thirds. I keep a small plastic bottle of water (500 ml) on
my night stand which is very helpful during the night.
Steering clear of drinking caffeine later
in the day possibly helps a little in reducing sleeping difficulties. I was
drinking herbal tea, but realised after a while that it did in fact contain
caffeine. I’ve found it necessary to check very carefully the ingredients
listed on boxes of tea, even when it states herbal tea, to check if it contains
caffeine.
Everything in moderation, except smiles,
love and laughter. How many times have you heard it said: “drink plenty of
water”, but how much is “plenty”? I have written about this subject in TheHuffington Post this week if you’d like to take a look.
