The symptoms can appear the same to those who don’t know the
differences between patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Health Briefs TV reviews and reports how to best prevent both medical conditions.
Dementia is a term used to describe a number of brain
disorders linked to memory loss, language skills and cognitive thinking. It
usually occurs later in life. It often resembles Alzheimer’s disease because of
the memory and cognitive problems in patients. The best way to ward off these
troubling symptoms are relatively easy. Get the daily recommended dosage of
Vitamin D. This can be done by eating plenty of food rich in it, or taking a
vitamin supplement. This would include: tuna, egg yolks, cheese and milk. Brain exercise is also a good way to keep the
mind working well. Activities like reading, working on puzzles and games, as
well as reading. Physical exercise is also another way to maintain overall good
health and keep the mind working.
The Health Briefs TV show notes that Alzheimer’s disease is
a disease in which the brain forgets how to make the body work, until the
organs shut down. Early onset Alzheimer’s is most commonly diagnosed between
the ages of 40 and 50, but typically onset occurs after age 65. Nearly 20,000
people in the United States
are estimated to have early onset Alzheimer’s, which is a diagnosed disease. It
can be passed through generations of families. But it is always smart to eat
foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, get plenty of daily exercise, and get
annual medical check-ups.
Take care every day. Do everything possible to stay as
healthy, physically and mentally, as possible. We only have one life to live.
