Living well with Parkinson’s means eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet all year round.

Packed with fibre, protein and easy to digest, this vegetarian stir-fry by Joan van Haaften makes a filling summer meal.

Airports have “more to learn” about accessibility for travellers with hidden disabilities like Parkinson’s, an organisation representing European airports has admitted. Federico Bonaudi, Director of Facilitation, Regional Airports & Parliamentary Affairs at ACI EUROPE made the comment after a recent report by Parkinson’s Life told how one woman with advanced Parkinson’s was denied essential medication for eight hours during a 16-hour detention at Lisbon airport in March this year.
