As the name suggests, Alzheimer's disease refers to a disease that occurs in the elderly, and from a physiological point of view, Alzheimer's disease refers to degenerative lesions of the central nervous system.
Although the cause is not clear, it can be known from clinical manifestations that it is mainly related to genetic and environmental factors.
And Alzheimer's disease is a disease that cannot be completely cured, so I hope that everyone can pay attention to it and insist on doing the following 4 things, which may be able to prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
1. Change the living environment
As we have already mentioned above, one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease includes the environment, especially the home environment, if it is poor, it will cause psychological stress to the elderly, which is not conducive to health.
In addition, the environment mentioned here is not only external, but also includes psychological satisfaction, because some elderly people often have nothing else to do after retirement, and they will think wildly all day long, especially the elderly who live alone, the heart is relatively lonely, and in the long run, it is easy to cause psychological problems, and even the performance of Alzheimer's disease.
It is precisely in this way that as children should pay more attention to it, if it is found that the elderly have depressed performance, they must intervene in time and give their parents enough companionship, so as to prevent the continuous development of Alzheimer's disease.
2. Reasonable diet
The results of multiple clinical studies have shown that the presence of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes increases the risk of alzheimer's disease;
Diabetes, in particular, is prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, which in turn hinders blood delivery to the brain.
Over time, the brain cannot get enough blood, oxygen supply, and the function will decline.
Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people need to stay away from high-fat, high-calorie foods on weekdays, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and fish, and then control the development of chronic diseases.
3. Quit smoking and alcohol
I believe that everyone has also noticed that many people in daily life have the habit of smoking and drinking, although these practices can temporarily alleviate bad emotions and pose a threat to health.
Especially in the case of long-term large-scale smoking, it will accelerate the hardening of arteries and the formation of plaques, which will cause serious stroke problems.
And the calories of alcohol are relatively high, if you drink alcohol regularly, it is easy to increase the probability of obesity, and obesity will affect the basal metabolism, which is not conducive to the discharge of lipids.
4, use the brain more
The human brain follows the principle of "exhaustion", in short, only continuous use can prevent the brain function from weakening, and the clinical literature has also shown that the risk of alzheimer's disease in the elderly group with higher education is lower.
Therefore, the elderly should do more things that interest them, such as reading books and newspapers or playing board games with their peers, etc., so that they can coordinate the brain well and exercise brain cells so that the brain is in a more active state.
All in all, the occurrence of Alzheimer's problem will indeed reduce the quality of life of patients, and in severe cases, there will even be a manifestation of inability to take care of themselves.
Therefore, remind the elderly after the age of 60, we must insist on doing the above 4 things, perhaps to prevent problems before they occur.
In addition, the elderly should also ensure adequate rest time, so that the brain can be given more rest time, under normal circumstances, sleep enough 7 to 8 hours a day.
