Alzheimer's disease is a disease that many elderly people can't avoid, and this disease will add a great burden to their families once they suffer from it.
In fact, more and more people are suffering from this disease because of some bad habits in daily life.
Why Alzheimer's is increasing
The main cause of Alzheimer's disease is still caused by aging, especially after the age of 65. This mutation occurs mainly in older people, and the older they are, the higher the rate of the disease will be.
Another reason is heredity. If an immediate family member suffers from this disease, the probability of the offspring suffering from this disease will be much higher than the general population.
In addition, people with cardiovascular disease are also at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. There are many blood vessels in the brain that supply brain tissue with nutrients, and cardiovascular disease increases the probability of stroke, which in turn increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Prevent Alzheimer's, 5 bad habits to change
Unhealthy diet
There is an old saying that disease comes from the mouth, in fact, most diseases are caused by unhealthy diet, because our daily diet is easily mixed with some substances that are harmful to health.
It's hard to feel it when we eat, so after consuming a lot of unhealthy elements, it can cause poisoning or lead to some diseases.
If you want to prevent Alzheimer's, you must pay attention to eating healthy, do not overeat, do not eat too much spicy and greasy food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and develop healthy eating habits.
Alcoholism
Nowadays, many people drink a lot of alcohol because of long-term work pressure or some social functions. Many people think that alcoholism can reduce mental stress and is not very harmful to the body, but in fact, this idea is incorrect.
Alcohol abuse not only hurts our liver, but also tends to paralyze our nerves and brain. The damage to the body is also irreversible.
Prolonged alcohol abuse increases the probability of developing liver cancer, which leads to a decrease in our body's immunity and metabolism, increasing the probability of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Overeating
Many people start to overeat to relieve stress, but frequent overeating will increase the chances of developing dementia.
Overeating will not only bring a lot of pressure on the stomach and intestines, but also have a lot of damage to the brain, so it is recommended that we usually try to eat to seven percent full, which is more conducive to digestion of the stomach and intestines, but also long-term maintenance of the body.
Sedentary
Today, many people because of work or study, sedentary has become the norm, sedentary will have a great impact on the body's blood circulation, and over time the brain will not get enough blood and nutrients because of poor blood flow, in this case the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's disease will increase a lot.
It is recommended that you can properly go to exercise, work when you can get up to receive a glass of water, appropriate activities, but also after work appropriate to go running outdoors, long-term exercise is conducive to health.
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. It is so terrible that it cannot be cured, and so terrible that until now it could not be prevented. Simply put, everyone is at risk of developing Alzheimer's and it cannot be prevented.
Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that is part of the abnormal aging phenomenon. When the disease occurs, memory, thinking, and language skills are damaged, and the degree of damage deteriorates from mild to severe. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. In terms of the disease itself, "dementia" is very inaccurate.
Although the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is unknown, based on years of research, medical studies, epidemiological studies, and demographic studies, scientists have identified a number of potential high-risk groups: people over 65 years of age, people with a family history of the disease, people with Down syndrome, and people with cardiovascular disease. The disease progression of Alzheimer's disease can be simply divided into three stages: early, middle and late. In general, the average life expectancy of patients is 8 years. There are also patients who live for 20 years after the disease because they are detected early, are better cared for and have no other health problems of their own.
Symptoms in the early and middle stages of Alzheimer's disease can easily be misinterpreted as normal aging phenomena, such as a dramatic decline in memory and difficulty learning new things. However, the biggest difference between Alzheimer's and normal aging is whether the person's normal life is affected. Family members need to be skilled in understanding the major Alzheimer's warning phenomena, taking the patient to the doctor in a timely manner so that some treatable diseases can be ruled out, and being more patient in giving guidance. For this population, family members need to be aware of possible safety issues including diet and transportation. The patient may lose his or her sense of distance, so the question of whether or not to allow the patient to go out on the street alone and continue driving is a matter of discussion.
For people with Alzheimer's, every day is a new day, and their unconventional thoughts and actions are right in their world. We need to understand that their transformation is not in their control either. Please be understanding of the patients around you, it is all because of the disease. They are no longer able to express their feelings and speak out for themselves. For families and society, acceptance of Alzheimer's needs to be more widespread. All most of us can do now is not to be misled by misguided public opinion. Confronting Alzheimer's is the best thing we can do for them right now.
