in #alzheimer7 years ago (edited)

The most important factors against Alzheimer's and Dementia are; healthy eating, physical and mental activities, quality sleep, social interactions, and coping with stress.

Forgetfulness, attention and concentration disorders are common complaints in all age groups today. This leads to vitamin deficiencies, thyroid diseases, stress, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), blockages in the blood vessels of the brain, brain hemorrhages and many other diseases. Alzheimer's disease is the most common disease among those who develop senile dementia. However, it is important to distinguish the diseases that lead to other dementia and treatable before this diagnosis.

Many factors in Alzheimer's and other dementia diseases are important in the appearance and course of the disease. In our daily life, the points to be taken care of in order to protect against dementia are summarized in six main topics:

Healthy eating:

Feed on the Mediterranean diet; plenty of vegetables, fruits, pulses (beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.), whole grains, fish and olive oil must be consumed, dairy products and meat should be used less.
Feed your glial brain cells: these cells remove harmful substances from your brain; ginger, green tea, fish, soy products, blueberries and other dark berries protect your cells.
Trans fats (bakery products, snacks, fast food, fry - called partial hydrogenated oil) and saturated fats (full fat dairy products, meat, coconut, etc.) should be avoided.
Omega 3 (salmon, tuna fish, sardines, fish oil) should be picked up adequately.
Alcohol consumption should be reduced.
It protects and improves the functions of folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium and fish oil.
Vitamin E, gingko, and coenzyme Q10 are recommended, although their benefits are unclear.
Vitamin E should be taken from foods (seeds, nuts, peanuts, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, whole grains) instead of medicines.
The place of aluminum intoxication in Alzheimer's disease is controversial as well as antacids, baking soda and kitchen utensils containing it should be avoided.

Physical activity:

Regular aerobic exercise; at least 150 min per week. exercise at moderate level. Walking and swimming are especially recommended for beginners. However, even daily activities such as cleaning, gardening can be enough.
Balance and coordination exercises should not be forgotten. Yoga, Tai Chi, equilibrium must be included in the exercises as they can cause problems especially in fall days.
In addition, light-to-medium weight and resistance exercises to increase muscle mass can be added.
Protect your head: head injuries increase your dementia risk.
It can be hard to get started with the exacerbate: remember that it will take at least 1 month to become a habit
Achievable targets must be set.

Mental Activity:

Learn a new topic.
Strengthen your memory: start with simple exercises.
Have mental activities such as strategy games, puzzles, riddles.
Play 5N 1K (Who, What, Where, When, Why) in daily activities. Investigate events like Detective.

Studies show beneficial effects even after 10 years, as well as improving daily cognitive functions of short term mental activities.
Mental activity may delay the emergence of functional complaints of dementia.
