dementia, or Alzheimer's is a condition in which brain performance is impaired, such as memory, decision-making, management, etc. Alzheimer's disease is a disease that is frequently encountered in the dementia group, such as some people who have stroke. (Stroke) Ischemic stroke It can cause symptoms of dementia as well.

For Thai people, we found that people aged 65 years and over are at risk. Dementia can be up to 5 percent. As we age, every 5 years or more, the risk of dementia is doubled. And when we're 80 years old, there's a 20 percent chance of dementia, or 1 in 5.

Causes of dementia or Alzheimer's

Dementia can occur for many reasons. There are both causes that can be cured. And the reason is that it is difficult to cure completely. Causes that can be cured include vitamin B12 deficiency, diseases related to thyroid hormones. or a condition where fluid builds up in the brain Causes of dementia from drinking alcohol, etc. As for causes that are difficult to cure, such as Alzheimer's disease, etc.

But there will be another reason that many People often overlook This factor will increase the risk of dementia, namely toxins orHeavy metals that accumulate in the body We found that there are 4 main toxins or heavy metals that cause dementia: 

1. aluminum
2. cadmium 
3. manganese
4. lead

These 4 heavy metals come from the environment in which we live, such as what we eat.Food contaminated with heavy metals We will put food containers that are contaminated with heavy metals. What we get from the air Especially during periods of PM 2.5 dust and from our skin contact, whether it be hair dye, nail polish, makeup, lipstick, these are important factors that cause us to come into contact with heavy metal substances. This will cause these metal substances to enter the body and destroy brain cells, eventually causing dementia.

But luckily today we have science and technology that canCheck for heavy metal toxinsTherefore, if anyone is concerned about dementia, it is recommended that we have an additional heavy metal check every time weAnnual health check 

In addition to the factors mentioned above. Passed on through genetics is another cause as well. Even though there are only a few found

Dementia or premature Alzheimer's What can be caused?

Brain fatigue or Brain Fog is mostly caused by accumulated stress. The word "accumulated stress" may come from environmental conditions such as being too hot or too cold, which can cause stress. Or another thing is The fact that we eat monotonous food Not eating enough especially protein Or that the food is low in various minerals and you rarely go out in the sun. These are also called physical stress. Or that while working there is accumulated stress. The work must be submitted. The meeting was very stressful. These are known as emotional stress.

These stresses cause accumulated stress in our body which then affects the brain. Especially the middle brain The memory part of the brain or the hippocampus. When we have accumulated stress, it will create free radicals in the brain. It causes the brain to function less. And then it will affect hormones. Especially hormones that come from the adrenal glands. The hormone cortisol (Cortisol) and the hormone DHEA (DHEAs) will cause us to have symptoms such as 

• I can't think of much. 
• I'm very tired. 
• Feeling exhausted 
• don't want to work 

which the symptoms are similar to with depression but we are not depressed In some people, there are symptoms similar to those that cannot think, cannot remember, work performance is worse, similar to symptoms of dementia. But most of the people who come to check will find that Some patients have hormones that are deficient. It is caused by the patient having accumulated stress for a fairly long period of time.
