Report Summary 

One of the challenges for people with Parkinson's disease is maintaining a consistent level of dopamine in the brain. This is because the medication can wear off over time, leading to fluctuations in dopamine levels. These fluctuations can cause motor symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement.

One way to help maintain a consistent level of dopamine is by maintaining a consistent meal schedule. This is because the absorption of PD medication can be affected by food. In particular, protein can interfere with the absorption of PD medication. As an organization, though we are planing to maintain a consistent meal schedule for PD patients who are most economically disadvantageous, due to resource on hand and donation mobilized through various stream about 60 patients were received a support like food items, oil and soon.

Doing so, at least some action were made to address the patients and help ensure that medication is taken at the same time each day, which can help minimize fluctuations in dopamine levels.

The initiatives are very critical for PD patients and even though the initiatives undertaken by program integration commitment, we are witnessed that it should be area of concerns that evey like minded supporter should engaged.
