Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disease with gradually declining life ability and irreversible progressive aggravation. In the early days, the main manifestations were memory loss, decreased working ability and difficulty in learning new knowledge. However, I still remember things from a long time ago, and it is easy to produce contradictions in my life. With the development of the disease, there are a series of manifestations, such as cognitive loss, impaired judgment, loss of sense of direction, personality change, loss of language ability and so on. Once the disease develops to this point, patients may not even know their closest relatives and themselves, nor do they understand the changes of seasons. Their emotions are naive, and their ability to live will decline day by day from being able to take care of themselves to maintaining the simple function of basic living. Finally, except for some instinctive requirements, they will lose all the most basic living abilities. If you have such a patient at home, you may realize what "old child" means.
As Alzheimer's disease is irreversible and deteriorating, it is very important to slow down the development of the disease and try to control it in the early stage. However, so far, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, and family care and early life adjustment are particularly important.
Predisposing factors As for the etiology of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, many related factors have been put forward by medical scientists, but none of them have been determined.
Excessive intake of aluminum due to dietary factors Many researchers have found that brain towels of Alzheimer's patients contain excessive aluminum. The attraction of aluminum is related to the use of aluminum products, such as aluminum pot, aluminum pots, aluminum spoons, toothpaste bags and so on. Avoid unnecessary aluminum contact in your life. In addition, tea contains aluminum, but the aluminum in tea is not easily absorbed by the human body and will be excreted quickly. However, if lemon is added to tea, citric acid will convert aluminum into aluminum salt which is easily absorbed by human body and absorbed by human body.
Zinc-magnesium plasma deficiency Researchers have found that the content of zinc and magnesium in the brains of such patients is very low. Zinc can prevent the precipitation of toxic metals such as lead and form this disease; Magnesium helps to slow down and prevent the degeneration of brain cells with age.
After the onset of common cerebrovascular diseases caused by other diseases, some parts of the brain have poor blood supply and oxygen supply, which accelerates its degradation. In addition, brain trauma and endocrine diseases are also the direct causes of Alzheimer's disease.
Depression and long-term bad mood can also make some people suffer from dementia. If we carefully observe those elderly people who have been depressed for a long time in their lives, most of them are slow to respond and dementia will appear over time.
Genetic factors It is estimated that 15% of Alzheimer's disease may be caused by genetic factors.
Inflammation Some researchers believe that inflammation is the main factor in the formation of Alzheimer's disease. Frequent inflammation without timely use of anti-inflammatory drugs is more likely to suffer from this disease.
Mental stress Long-term mental stress will increase the possibility of Alzheimer's disease. Under stress, the body will secrete a stress hormone, which will damage the function of hippocampal cells in the memory and cognitive center.
Neglecting to use the brain "use it to advance and discard it to retreat" is a summary of the "ups and downs" of brain function. As we all know, the more the brain is used, the younger it is, and the brain is often not used. Without adequate stimulation, brain cells will accelerate their degeneration and atrophy, leading to dementia in advance. Life construction, life conditioning and mental stress control can promote the formation of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, controlling mental stress has become a necessary preventive measure. As for the specific method. There's more. One of the effective methods is to do abdominal breathing when you are in a state of serious anxiety and tension: bulge your lower abdomen vigorously, inhale through your nostrils, and then exhale slowly from your mouth. In addition, when you are unhappy, change your brain as soon as possible and leave unhappy things behind; Keep your hobbies or curiosity, and do something you particularly like, such as playing chess and calligraphy; Chat more with friends or family; Eliminating worries is also a method, which is more suitable for women.
Keep learning, exercise your mind and use it, so that you won't lose it-this is simply a philosophical proverb. The same is true of the thinking ability of the brain. According to the research of some scholars at home and abroad, the more education, the more it can promote the development of nervous system and exercise brain function. When people are old, using more brains can slow down the degeneration of brain cells, so it is not easy to get Alzheimer's disease. The brain is just like the rest of the body. The more exercise stimulates your brain cells, the more active and strong they will become. Therefore, those who are more educated and interested in active learning are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
Dietary advice Basic dietary principles and rules and a balanced diet are the basis for ensuring a balanced nutrition. In order to avoid nutritional deficiency, vitamins and minerals can be supplemented appropriately.
Stay away from foods with high aluminum content. Try not to use aluminum cookers. Because aluminum is related to the formation of Alzheimer's disease, we should stay away from aluminum products as much as possible in our lives.
Drink less tea, let alone lemons. Tea contains a high content of aluminum, especially when lemon is added to tea, and citric acid will convert aluminum into aluminum salt which is easily absorbed by human body.
Nutrients you should know, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and carotene antioxidants, protect cells from free radicals. Free radicals are the oxygen we breathe, which form over-active oxygen molecules in the body and can destroy healthy cells. Brain tissue is most vulnerable to free radicals. Vitamin e, vitamin c, vitamin B6 and carotene all have antioxidant effects. Therefore, it is suggested to add vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and carotene to the diet of middle-aged and elderly people, which can prevent brain aging and delay Alzheimer's disease.
B vitamins B vitamins are the energy source of the brain. Lack of B vitamins, especially vitamin B 12, will lead to Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is quite common in the elderly. Any patient with Alzheimer's disease should take 100 mg of vitamin B 12 under the tongue every day. You can even inject vitamin B 12.
Insufficient mineral zinc content is related to Alzheimer's disease. Zinc can also prevent the precipitation of aluminum and other toxic metals, which will lead to Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, a certain dose of zinc needs to be supplemented. Oral 15-50mg zinc every day.
Magnesium deficiency is also one of the factors leading to Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the elderly can consume 350-500 mg of magnesium every day.
Other beneficial hormones-melatonin produced by pineal gland, which is a "special" hormone, can ensure that the secretion of other hormones is maintained in the normal range under stress, thus protecting brain cells and avoiding being invaded by a large number of hormones when nervous. In addition, melatonin also helps patients with Alzheimer's disease to return to normal sleep. Take 1 mg before going to bed, and take it under the tongue.
The beneficial hormone-pregnenolone pregnenolone can effectively improve memory. It is produced in the brain and adrenal cortex. With the increase of age, its secretion decreases. At the age of 75, compared with about 30 years old, our body produces 60% less pregnenolone. Therefore, it is necessary for the elderly to supplement some pregnenolone every day. Take 1-2 50 mg capsules orally every day.
Patients with Alzheimer's disease should study hard, don't use aluminum cookers to drink tea and exercise their brains as little as possible, don't add lemon to supplement vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and carotene to supplement vitamin B 12, and take orally 100 mg of magnesium, 350-500 mg of zinc and 15-50 mg of pregnenolone every day. Has effects in invigorating kidney, strengthening brain, improving memory, and treating Alzheimer's disease.
