Alzheimer is an umbrella disease for dementia. Almost 35.6 people worldwide suffer form this form of dementia. The most prominent marks for Alzheimer is memory loss, confusion, and a vast need for independence. Most believe that Alzheimer is brought on through genes but is not the sole reason for dementia. To relinquish your chance of getting Alzheimer, one should keep the brain “healthy” and build up the brain throughout the aging process. The six ways to do that are: to increase physical activity by running, walking or bicycling, keep weight under control by paying attention to BMI, mentally challenge yourself with games or finding ways to challenge yourself, go explore more social connections and getting to know more people, maintain a healthy diet by eating a lot of fish and decrease risk of chronic diseases by keeping blood pressure down. There is no medical divergence for any form of dementia. Taking an aspirin everyday is not a healthy idea to try and combat dementia either. What someone does in their daily life can have a high influence on how a persons brain will function later in life.
Alzheimer's is a highly debilitating and devastating disease. It takes hold of a persons brain and doesn't let go. Many times you see people with Alzheimer's on TV, you usually don't see them in person but there are many people with it. When I first learned of the effects of Alzheimer's, I wondered how anybody can die from losing memory but one can. It effects more then just memory, it also affects the body as a whole.
