6 No-Nonsense Tips To Prevent Alzheimer’s

This subject is very near and dear to me, my grandfather passed away many years ago from Alzheimer’s and dementia.

I was still in high school at the time and didn’t really understand what was going on. My grandpa basically raised me from a little boy to a young adult, then all of a sudden he didn’t remember me.

A Very tough pill to swallow, I didn’t like that one bit!

Alzheimer’s is a very debilitating disease causing significant mental and physical deterioration. Our brain is the most important and most complex organ in our bodies controlling our every thought and every move. Alzheimer’s is due to generalized degeneration of the brain, seems pretty serious doesn’t it.

As I mentioned earlier, Alzheimer’s can cause many negative effects on our bodies. Here is a list of the major symptoms a person can experience:

1. Memory loss is the most well-known and prominent symptom of Alzheimer’s. It will begin by forgetting modest things then progressing to forgetting people’s names, dates, etc…
2. Cognitive function is another big one, the ability to solve problems and make decisions. Simple things like time and your current location may become difficult to remember or comprehend.
3. You may have mood swings and become depressed at times. To others you may not be “yourself” anymore, becoming irritable easily with a poor attitude.
4. Speech impairment is another symptom, having trouble finding the right words or speak fluently.
5. Basic motor functions will become difficult. Writing my become tough and poor penmanship can make it difficult to read. Having trouble holding silverware or changing the channels on your tv remote might become hard to do as well.

While there are no current cures for this disease, being proactive in your daily lives may have an impact on preventing these symptoms before they occur. Good habits and healthy lifestyles could prevent this from happening to you. After seeing what my grandfather went through I am going to do everything I can to prevent it.

There are many things we can do and monitor to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s, here is a list of things you should think about doing:

1. Monitoring your blood pressure is a must. Make sure your blood pressure is at the correct levels as much as possible. High blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart attacks, both affecting your brain health.
2. Stimulating your brain will force it to stay active and keep your mental health strong. Simple things like socializing with others and playing games will keep your brain engaged. Not to mention socializing also affects your mood which could help your future brain health as well.
3. Omega-3’s are a must in your diet for numerous reasons but preventing Alzheimer’s is a big one. Omega-3’s will have a positive effect on memory and cognitive function, possibly slowing down the development of Alzheimer’s.

4.One of my favorites and easiest on the list, a healthy lifestyle. Load up on those fruits and vegetables. Eating healthy will only improve your overall health and bodily functions.

5.Exercise! Now don’t let this one scare you, I know we aren’t all gym rats. Simple things like going for a walk or stretching are great ways to stay active. Finding physical activities that are challenging but not too strenuous is just fine. Exercise is a good way to challenge your brain, thus preventing possible Alzheimer’s. It also releases endorphins which interact with receptors in your brain thus triggering positive moods and feelings.

6.Turmeric may have the strongest effect in preventing and aiding with Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric has been studied extensively for improving cognitive function and treating Alzheimer’s.  It has been used in various types of treatments for dementia and traumatic brain injury.
