Green tea antioxidant products, represented in recent years filled with all areas of life, from the skin to the cancer, as well as prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease, really so magical? Unfortunately, there is still an incurable disease, no medicine can cure. Well, this disease how to cure?
Incurable disease, how do we cure?
On the causes of Alzheimer's disease have a lot of mechanism hypothesis, still under investigation. Guess mainly due to changes in the brain or certain environmental substances causing nerve cell death and thus damage the network of nerve cells, resulting in degradation of the corresponding functions, such as memory, language and learning ability, and so on. This brain damage is irreparable (irreversible), so there is no any kind of drugs and the means to cure. The main purpose of the existing treatment and care, to be able to slow the progression of the disease, and alleviate the suffering caused by the disease. At present, these two types of drugs including prescription drugs and health products.
prescription
The US Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment of Alzheimer's disease are currently five prescription drugs, both oral medication for the condition in different periods respectively. The doctor will select the appropriate medication and dosage according to the period in which the patient, as well as other aspects of physical condition. Some patients these drugs can delay progression of the disease effect, or reduce patient due to illness brought some life and constant for example temporarily slow decline in memory and cognitive abilities, reduced anxiety behaviors, and help to restore some daily living activities. However, along with these weak effects, side effects are very large. The side effects vary for each drug, including: depression, anxiety, hallucinations, hypotension, arrhythmia, liver damage, diarrhea, vomiting, headache. Therefore, the use of these prescription drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor, according to the progression of the disease and the patient continues to take effect adjustment.
Health Products
There are two types of health care products: plant extracts and animal extracts. The former has caprylic acid (octanoic acid), ginkgo biloba extract, Sekisan base A and 3-amino-1-propanesulfonic acid, can provide an alternative nourishment for the brain or its antioxidant effect and reduce nerve cell injury. But they also have significant side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Animal extract include omega-3 fish oil, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E and phosphatidylserine. Similarly, in the role of providing protection of the nervous system at the same time, they also have their own side effects, such as blurred vision, fatigue, and nausea. Therefore, if you want to try these health care products, you should consult a professional doctor and regular inspections.
For those on the market can be called "prevention of Alzheimer's disease," many health care products, although there are all kinds of related research reports, but the results vary widely, there is no kind of health products have a clear control efficacy.
Daily care, how do we do?
In addition to the economic burden on the patient due to slow but continuous loss of independent living and communication skills, family involvement in the care of mentally and physically but also bear considerable pressure. Faced with patients, how can we do?
First expertise aside, face patients, we must first prepared is a powerful psychological, perseverance, and love and tolerance. This is because we are in a race with the disease, it seems a losing race, aimed at before the disease claimed the lives of patients and give patients the best care possible to reduce the maximum degree of physical and mental suffering of patients.
Healthy diet and exercise are indispensable
A healthy diet for overall physical condition of the patient is essential. Some food directly affects memory and other brain functions thereby increasing the disease, such as trans fats, frozen food, sugar, excess salt, alcohol, etc., should be avoided. Instead, some food for patients with certain brain functions have special benefits, such as vitamin A, C, E foods for vision, language and memory have a protective effect, and fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, vitamin B12 and D there are also slow down the brain rapidly aging effect.
Daily exercise for the health of patients is also helpful. Proper physical exercise and regular, especially aerobic exercise, can accelerate blood circulation to the brain in order to ensure adequate support, while maintaining the flexibility of the body flexibility. Zhidezhuyi is, on the one hand to avoid excessive movement caused by bodily injury, on the other hand due to the memory and the ability to balance the patient's decline, while exercising care must be accompanied by personnel at the scene. Specific physical condition of each patient is different, different diseases period, on the advice of the best professionals to choose the right sport.
Conscious mental exercise is also a very helpful exercise. Even the aging brain lesions already, some still have the ability to create a new neural network. Appropriate training mental stimulation, such as Scrabble, board games, playing cards, paintings, musical instruments and other learning and training associated with these social activities, not only can delay the decline in cognitive abilities of patients, but also can maintain mental patients health.
Spiritual care infinite power
Comes to mental health patients, which is an easily overlooked but extremely important aspect. Family members and caregivers to take care not only in the body of patients, but also in the spirit of understanding and encouraging patients, patients with difficulty understanding and action on stress and mood swings resulting. Let patients help within its capacity to participate in housework, can help them reduce isolation and sense of alienation from all life, and to improve their life force. Accompanied by family members walk together, reading, entertainment, but also conducive to adjust their emotions. At the same time, should also increase exchanges between family members communicate with each other, discuss their responsibilities, burdens and demands of life, in order to reduce the pressure to bring home with patients and strife.
Alzheimer's disease can be prevented?
Little early to estimate, based on the elderly with Alzheimer's dementia worldwide health care costs of approximately $ 1.6 trillion, a figure still with the aging society and increasing. These costs include direct examination in the hospital as treatment, and indirect, such as at home nanny escort, as well as care for the sick family lost work time and income.
Since Alzheimer's disease is not curable, then step back, we have no way to prevent it do? We mentioned earlier the disease occurs mostly in people over the age of 65, and the proportion increases with age and significantly increased. For late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the exact cause is unclear. Is generally believed that, in addition to genetic risk factors, environmental and lifestyle also has a relationship with the risk of illness. Of patients found that cognitive decline is often associated with blood vessel system and the metabolic system diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and so on. Environment high lead high zinc may also cause damage to the nervous system and induce disease.
Therefore, if you want to stay away from the disease, efforts to maintain a healthy physical and mental state is necessary, including: a good lifestyle, a healthy diet, adhere to moderate exercise, away from the pollution of the environment. Besides the elderly to maintain communication with family and friends, keep in touch with social life, culture hobby to maintain appropriate levels of cognitive ability, which will help to slow the progression of the disease.
Science brings hope for the future
The future of scientific research for Alzheimer's disease focuses on two main direction: causes and treatment methods. Both complement each other, not only helps to understand the causes purposeful targeting of research treatment methods, but also provides the conditions strangled in the cradle or termination of the progress of the condition of the foundation. Turn test and feedback treatment methods also help find the exact cause of the disease. Study on the one hand causes causes, such as genetic, lifestyle, Huanjingwuran on the other hand, the mechanism, such as what specific changes the molecular level how the cells damage on brain function, which signaling pathways involved in the disease process, the state of brain tissue in each period of development disorders and the like. Early diagnosis methods in addition to study treatment according to the hypothesis put forward the cause and to find effective drugs test, including the condition, as well as areas of the brain tissue is damaged or whether / how to repair or replace.
