Alzheimer's Disease<\/strong> It is a disease caused by the deterioration of the function (Functional) and structure (Structural) of brain tissue. which is often found in the elderly<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not natural deterioration. Because not all elderly people need to have Alzheimer's.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is a deterioration caused bywaste<\/strong> (Toxic Protein) a type called Beta-Amyloid<\/strong> or many types accumulating leeway<\/strong>in the brain and destroy brain cells causes brain tissue to atrophy makes neurotransmitters Acetylcholine that directly affects memory (Memory) decreases, causing damage to brain cells andcausing dementia symptoms<\/strong> (Dementia)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

80%<\/strong> of dementia is still not completely cured
more <\/span><\/em>20%<\/em><\/span><\/strong> There are causes that can be cured, such as: <\/span><\/em>Vitamin B12 deficiency<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

50% <\/em><\/span><\/strong>of the group that cannot be cured, caused by Alzheimer's disease
more <\/span><\/em>50%<\/em><\/span><\/strong> It is another disease that is similar to Alzheimer's.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will gradually start from the Hippocampus part of the brain that plays a role in remembering new information. (short-term memory) then spreads to other parts of the brain Affects learning feelings, thoughts, language, and behavior. The total time from diagnosis until death is on average approximately 8-10 years<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the present era Alzheimer's disease incidence rate There is a trend of continuing to increase. and in people whose average age is younger This group of patients from the middle period onwards. Needs very high dependency on family members It is considered a social problem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause Alzheimer\u2019s disease can be passed down genetically, and genetic factors can have an effect of up to 80%,\u201d<\/strong>\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetic testing (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)<\/strong><\/a> Therefore, it is important that the Apolipoprotein E (AopE) test can be used to predict risk. (1)<\/sup><\/a> Before symptoms appear (predictive testing) in family members of Alzheimer's patients to assess risk levels To plan prevention, surveillance, and frequency of screening. and adjust advice on how to behave more appropriate<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to genetic factors Accumulation of substances that are toxic to the brain, such as Mercury, Aluminum, Ammonia<\/strong> (2)<\/a> <\/sup>or abnormalities in the waste excretion system in the brain (Brain Detoxification) or even deficiency of certain vitamins such as Vitamin D<\/strong><\/a> (3)<\/sup><\/a> (Vitamin D deficiency<\/strong><\/a>) In the long run, it may beCommon factors<\/strong> in causing dementia as well<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic advice to stay away from Alzheimer's is: Train your brain to think often. through reading books learning new things Learn to assemble or use new equipment. Or you can play games. Optimistic Make your mind happy every day, practice your mind, meditate, and let go of stress. Exercise regularly and take care of your health so as not to get sick Don't let yourself become obese. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nutrient balance <\/strong>(Nutritional balance) There is more research on prevention, including food programs. MIND diet<\/strong><\/a> Designed to prevent dementia Emphasis on eating nuts, whole grains, colorful fresh vegetables, berries, eggs, and fish, and avoiding eating processed foods or increasing the intake of foods with pungent odors. This causes the brain to create high amounts of Hydrogen Sulfide or rotten egg substances, which will help speed up the removal of toxins from the brain. It has been found to help prevent damage to brain cells. (Neuroprotective effect) and may reduce the risk Can affect Alzheimer's disease (4)<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
