Brain dementia, the medical term behind a deep, heart-wrenching pathology. It crept into the lives of patients like a thick fog, gradually eroding their thoughts, emotions and memories. Patients are trapped in the labyrinth of time, unable to retrace the footprints of the past and difficult to step towards the threshold of the future.
Brain dementia is not only a medical disease, but also a kind of mental torture. It deprives patients of the ability to think independently, making it impossible for them to articulate their inner thoughts and feelings.
They may have once been clever people with a wealth of knowledge and experience, but now they are like ships lost in the middle of the sea, unable to find their way home.
From normal people to dementia, the process is not achieved overnight, but undergoes a series of subtle and gradual changes. In the initial stages, patients may only experience mild cognitive impairment, such as occasionally forgetting what just happened, or getting lost in a familiar environment. These symptoms are often overlooked and considered normal signs of aging.
However, these symptoms can gradually worsen over time. Patients may begin to have difficulty concentrating, thinking becomes sluggish, and memory loss is noticeable. They may forget the names of friends and family, or even their age and address. These changes not only affect the daily lives of patients, but also place a heavy burden on their families.
As the disease progresses further, patients may progress to the intermediate stages of dementia. At this stage, their cognitive impairment is already very pronounced, and their ability to perform daily living is severely impaired. They may not be able to carry out simple daily activities such as dressing, washing, etc., on their own, or even know their loved ones. In addition, their language skills will also be affected, and they will not be able to express their meaning and speak insincerely.
In the advanced stages of dementia, the patient's symptoms become more severe. They may lose their ability to speak completely and be unable to express their needs and feelings. At the same time, their physical functions will gradually decline, and symptoms such as muscle atrophy and movement disorders will appear. At this stage, patients require round-the-clock care and care to maintain their basic life.
Therefore, early detection and ** are essential for people with dementia. Through timely intervention and care, we can delay the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients, while also reducing the burden on families and society.
1. Memory loss
Maybe you've had the experience of going to do something, but forgetting about it because of a momentary episode, but still being able to recall it afterwards, which is the normal state of life. What's even more heart-wrenching is that they may repeat the same thing over and over again, as if stuck in a cycle from which there is no escape. This is the most typical symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
2. Unable to take care of oneself
For Alzheimer's patients, this ability is like a leaf swept away by the autumn wind, gradually withering. They may go from being a shrewd and capable person to a state where they can't even handle the daily chores. Like the teacher who was once proficient in math, but now he is helpless in the simplest math problems. This is the ruthless mark of Alzheimer's disease.
3. Changeable personality
When a person with a mild personality suddenly becomes irritable and irritable, we have to be wary of whether this is a sign of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to changes in temper, patients may also present with symptoms such as apathy, paranoia, and paranoia. These symptoms intensify as the condition progresses, having a serious impact on normal life. Therefore, we must remain very vigilant against this phenomenon.
4. The sense of direction gradually disappears
In our country, about 1,000 elderly people go missing every year due to disappearance, and most of them suffer from Alzheimer's disease. This is because Alzheimer's disease causes the brain function of older people to decrease and they cannot accurately judge where and when they are. Even in a familiar environment, they can get lost and even get lost when walking close to home. This is the cruel reality that Alzheimer's disease brings to us.
First, we can prevent Alzheimer's by adjusting our eating habits. A balanced diet is essential for brain health, and we should ensure that we consume enough nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. At the same time, we want to avoid excessive intake of fat and sugar, as they can have a negative impact on the health of the brain.
Secondly, physical activity is also essential to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Moderate exercise can boost blood circulation and provide more oxygen and nutrients to the brain. In addition, exercise can also promote the growth and connection of neurons, improving the cognitive ability of the brain. Therefore, we should insist on doing a moderate amount of exercise every day, such as walking, swimming, or yoga, etc.
In addition to this, we can also prevent Alzheimer's disease by exercising our brains. Learning new knowledge, playing mind games, reading books, etc., are all great ways to exercise your brain. These activities can stimulate neurons in the cerebral cortex, improving the brain's cognitive abilities and memory.
Finally, social activities are also an important means of preventing Alzheimer's disease. Communicating with others and participating in social activities stimulates the social and emotional functions of the brain and increases brain activity. In addition, social activities can also help us maintain a good mood and reduce stress, which can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Every day, gently rub this point with your thumb and fingertips in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction for 3 minutes, repeating twice. This action seems to be a gentle dialogue with the body, allowing the old people to release its energy of clearing the head and eyes, relaxing the meridians and activating the meridians.
This mysterious and important acupuncture point has an unexpected effect on the development of senile diseases such as Alzheimer's, cerebellar atrophy, and blurred vision. It is like a bright beacon that illuminates the path to health for the elderly, making their lives more fulfilling and beautiful.
