3 seconds,
What can you do?
Take a sip of water?
Or read a line of books?
What I'm going to tell you is:
Globally, there is one case of dementia every 3 seconds.
Alzheimer's disease,
That is what we usually call Alzheimer's disease,
is an insidiously onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive deterioration of cognitive function.
with impaired ability to perform daily living and changes in mental behavior;
The most typical symptoms are memory degradation and cognitive decline.
As of 2019,
There are more than 52 million People with Alzheimer's disease worldwide,
There are more than 10 million in China.
It is the country with the largest number of patients.
In the face of such a severe situation, how should the lovely old people take precautions?
First of all
Use your brain more and participate in more social activities
You can engage in some beneficial mental work, such as taking half an hour to 1 hour a day to read books and newspapers, stimulating the ability to think and recall; playing mahjong, poker, or chess with old friends every week; training thinking skills and mobilizing the brain. Having time to chat and communicate with young people can not only contact new things, cultures and languages, but also improve physical and mental health. Cultivating a hobby, such as learning to cook, dancing square dancing, etc., both participates in social activities and uses the brain.
secondly
Have a healthy lifestyle
It is best to exercise for more than 30 minutes a day; exercise scientifically, pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, and ensure a healthy body and an optimistic mental state. Develop good lifestyle habits, quit smoking and alcohol, don't stay up late, and monitor blood pressure regularly; even if there are no symptoms, people over the age of 35 should have their blood pressure measured at least once a year. Once the blood pressure is found to rise, timely adjust lifestyle and drug treatment to control blood pressure.
again
It is necessary to rationally arrange diet and strengthen nutrition
Studies have shown that fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, especially green tea, blueberries, grapes, chocolate, coffee, red wine, olive oil, deep-sea fish and other foods, will reduce the risk of cognitive impairment, but also rich in lithium; the human body needs a variety of trace elements, lithium has a role in stabilizing mood, for individuals to prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease is helpful. In life, you can pay more attention to the intake of these foods and maintain a varied diet.
At last
The living environment is also an important part of the fight against Alzheimer's disease
As children, we should provide a patient communication and companionship for the elderly in the family. Avoiding the elderly in a lonely and lonely environment for a long time is not only the prevention of Alzheimer's disease, but also the obligation of every child.
Hope that through our modest efforts,
Can make everyone pay attention to Alzheimer's disease,
Correctly understand the decline of memory,
Together, we can perpetuate good memories.
Please slow down the years,
Don't forget to love you and the people you love!
