There is no cure. From the beginning, my memory deteriorated, and later I couldn't even dress and eat the simplest, and finally I stayed in bed all day. ...
In China, in a few years, one of the four elderly people over 80 who are supported by a couple will be a patient with Alzheimer's disease.
Even more frightening, scientific research has found that some so-called good habits may actually be the chief culprit of Alzheimer's disease.
0 1 light diet
Doctors often say this, but what does light mean? Many people go to extremes, equate light diet with long-term vegetarian diet, and even dare not eat oil and salt.
If you are vegetarian for a long time, it will lead to weakness, pallor, fatigue, inattention, memory loss and other symptoms. Severe lack of nutrition may even lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, calculus and osteoporosis.
Especially the elderly, should pay special attention to nutrition. Eat more high-quality protein such as fish, poultry, eggs and lean meat to ensure the intake of vegetables and fruits. Sugar and salt should be controlled, but not eating them at all is even worse for your health.
02 loves cleanliness too much.
Dr Molly Fox of Cambridge University and her colleagues analyzed the data of 192 countries. The results show that countries with better sanitary conditions and facilities and higher degree of urbanization have higher incidence of cognitive impairment. Among them, in countries with good sanitation facilities, the incidence of certification barriers is 33% higher.
Frequent disinfection, frequent use of antibacterial drugs, and never contact with nature ... When the living environment is too clean, it will also destroy the ecological balance.
Sleep too much
Sleep less is not good, sleep more is not good.
The College of Pharmacy of the University of California, San Diego and the American Cancer Society spent six years investigating 654.38+100,000 people. The results show that adults sleep for 6.5-7.4 hours, and the mortality rate is the lowest. The probability of stroke increases to 146% for long sleepers who sleep for more than 8 hours.
Framingham heart researchers in the United States found that the risk of Alzheimer's disease in elderly people who sleep more than 9 hours a day is twice that of ordinary people.
However, if you have to sleep more than 9 hours a day to be comfortable, there is no need to deliberately change your schedule. If you want to stay in bed or suddenly fall asleep for more than 9 hours every day, the former will have to overcome your inertia, and the latter will have to go to the hospital, because sleepiness is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease has symptoms three or four years in advance.
American scientists invited 290 volunteers over the age of 40, and the research found that:
3-9 years before symptoms appear, the brain structure changes;
There will be signs of cognitive impairment 1 1- 15 before symptoms appear;
Thirty-four years before onset, the level of Tau protein (a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease) was detected.
10 Alzheimer's disease early warning
There is no cure for Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, that is, Alzheimer's Harmo's disease. Only early intervention can effectively delay the course of disease. If you have these symptoms, you should seek medical advice promptly:
1, memory loss, unable to remember immediate or short-term events.
2. Familiar things are difficult to deal with.
3. Language expression is difficult.
4, lose the sense of time and direction, and even get lost.
5, judgment and alertness are reduced.
6, understanding or ability to arrange affairs decline.
7, often put things in the wrong place.
8, emotional upheaval, easily angry.
9. Personality change.
10, lose the ability to move and can't take care of themselves.
Middle-aged people may also have Alzheimer's disease.
There is an executive in his forties who always gets lost and goes in the wrong direction. Before being finally diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, he went to many hospitals and departments.
When the average age increases by 5 years, the incidence rate will double, and the incubation period of the disease can be as long as ten to twenty years. If there is obvious memory loss in life, the ability of space, thinking and language declines in an all-round way, or even the temperament changes, and people who are introverted suddenly become impulsive, it will attract attention.
Nine risk factors of Alzheimer's disease
The Lancet-Global Health magazine has published research results, and intervention on the following nine risk factors can reduce the risk of 1/3:
1, education (unfinished secondary education)
2. Hypertension
3. Obesity
4. Hearing loss
5. Depression
6. Diabetes
7. Lack of physical exercise
8. Smoking
9, little contact with society
The doctor therefore gives advice:
1
Control your weight.
The body mass index should be controlled between 18.5-24, and the body mass index value of the elderly over 65 years old can be slightly higher.
Body mass index is also body mass index, that is, the square of weight (kg) and height ().
Waist circumference is controlled below 85cm for men and below 80cm for women.
2
Protect your hearing.
three
Exercise more.
Research shows that physical exercise can reduce the risk of senile Alzheimer's disease and dementia by 45%.
It is recommended to exercise 5-7 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time.
four
Get in touch with people more.
Positive social relations help prevent memory loss and are beneficial to physical and mental health.
five
Think more.
Set aside half an hour to 1 hour every day to read books and newspapers to stimulate thinking and memory.
Play mahjong, poker or chess with friends every week or every two weeks. Train thinking ability and mobilize the brain.
Studying in the university for the aged, dancing square dance, learning musical instruments, singing and so on.
six
Do finger exercises.
Studies have shown that finger movement can promote cerebral blood circulation, delay the aging of brain nerve cells and promote understanding and memory.
Yao Zhiping, a geriatric ward of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, introduced a set of finger exercises that can prevent Alzheimer's disease and improve the cognitive ability, living ability and quality of life of Alzheimer's patients.
Finger movement has ten movements, which are cost-free, non-invasive, easy to learn, not limited by time and place, and easy to be accepted.

Hands facing each other, rubbing up and down.
2
Rub your hands and back.
