Alzheimer's disease, also known as senile dementia, is a degenerative disease of the nervous system with progressive cognitive decline as the main clinical manifestation. With the intensification of global aging, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is rising, placing a heavy burden on society and families. Today, let's take a look at the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and prevent it through a scientific diet.
1. Early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
1.Memory loss: Patients will experience short-term memory loss, which is manifested by forgetting what just happened, asking the same question repeatedly, etc.
2.Language disorders: Patients may have difficulties in expression, comprehension, naming, etc., such as slurred speech, unable to find suitable words, etc.
3.Decreased spatial and temporal perception: Patients are unable to accurately judge spatial location and time sequence, and are prone to getting lost and doing the same thing repeatedly.
4.Impairment of judgment: The patient's ability to make decisions and solve problems is reduced, and he shows obvious impulsiveness, irrationality and other behaviors.
5.Distraction: People have difficulty concentrating, are easily distracted, and are unresponsive to their surroundings.
6.Mood swings: Patients are emotionally unstable, manifesting as depression, anxiety, irritability, etc.
7.Personality changes: The patient's personality will change significantly, such as selfishness, stubbornness, dependence, etc.
8.Sleep disturbances: Patients experience symptoms such as insomnia, dreaminess, and daytime sleepiness.
2. Scientific diet to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
1.Increase antioxidant intake: Antioxidants can scavenge free radicals in the body and protect nerve cells from damage. Food** includes: blueberries, green tea, nuts, berries, vegetables, etc.
2.Adequate estrogen intake: Studies have shown that estrogen has a positive effect on preventing Alzheimer's disease. Foods** include: legumes, nuts, whole grains, etc.
3.Reduce saturated fatty acid intake: Saturated fatty acids can increase the burden on the brain and accelerate cognitive decline. The intake of foods rich in saturated fatty acids, such as red meat and dairy products, should be reduced.
4.Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in brain development and function. Food** includes: deep-sea fish, flaxseeds, walnuts, etc.
5.Keep your blood sugar stable: Blood sugar fluctuations can have a negative impact on the brain. High-sugar foods should be avoided and complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, vegetables, etc. should be consumed in moderation.
6.Moderate protein intake: Protein is an important component of the brain, but excessive intake may increase the burden on the brain. It is recommended to consume high-quality protein in moderation, such as chicken, fish, tofu, etc.
7.Stay hydrated: Not enough water can lead to decreased brain function. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your body and brain hydrated.
8.Drink alcohol in moderation: Excessive alcohol consumption can cause damage to the brain. It is recommended to drink alcohol in moderation, no more than two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women.
Through the above measures, we can prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease in our daily life. At the same time, paying attention to early symptoms and seeking medical attention in time is also the key to preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease. Let's work together to provide care and support to older people with Alzheimer's disease so they can live a better quality of life.
