Some scholars estimate that by 2030, there will be more than 22 million Elderly dementia patients on the mainland.
For the elderly, Alzheimer's disease is an incurable disease that can only be alleviated by drug treatment, but as long as the patient actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, it is not easy to be life-threatening.
It is believed that most elderly people have fear and fear of Alzheimer's disease, but as long as the elderly develop the following five eating habits, they can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and let patients have a healthier body.
First, refuse sweets
No one can refuse the delicious taste of sweets, and neither can the elderly. Although eating sweets can satisfy our taste buds, it will greatly increase the probability of the body becoming ill.
For the elderly, if you want to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease, you should completely refuse to eat sweets. Eating sweets will not only cause the elderly's blood sugar and blood lipids to fluctuate significantly, but also damage the brains of the elderly.
Studies have shown that people who regularly eat sweets, the hippocampal tissue in the brain will have a tendency to shrink, the hippocampal tissue plays a memory function in the brain, if the area is damaged, the elderly will show memory decline, confusion of the disease, which will make the elderly have a greater probability of alzheimer's disease.
Second, a light diet
A light diet is suitable for all patients with chronic diseases, and if the patient adheres to it for a long time, it can prevent the recurrence of the disease and bring great benefits to the patient.
Although condiments can make the taste of food more abundant, long-term intake of such condiments will cause the body to have a memory loss.
Moreover, scientists have confirmed this, scientists pointed out that if the daily intake of salt in the elderly exceeds 7g, the cognitive ability of the elderly will be greatly reduced, which will induce the emergence of Alzheimer's disease.
Third, a low-fat diet
Studies have shown that obese patients are three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than normal people. To prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease;
Elderly patients must follow the dietary principles of a low-fat diet in order to control the cholesterol content in the body within normal levels, so that a good preventive effect can be achieved.
It is recommended that the elderly reduce the intake of meat food, try to achieve meat and vegetarian collocation, as long as the patient adheres to it for a long time, you can develop a good habit of low-fat diet, and Alzheimer's disease will not find you.
4. Staple food
Most patients with high blood sugar have a misunderstanding that as long as they do not eat staple foods, they can control the blood sugar content in the body within the normal range.
In fact, not eating staple foods will not only not restore blood sugar in the body, but also increase the risk of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Because the brain needs glucose to provide energy when it is functioning, and staple foods are rich in glucose.
For the elderly, long-term non-intake of staple foods will cause transient dysfunction of the brain, which will bring harm to the body and induce the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Fifth, thinking eating
For the elderly, serious thinking about problems while eating can play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
This is because the emergence of Alzheimer's disease has a lot to do with patients' long-term brainless thinking, and when the brain is running, its agility, activity and other indicators will have a qualitative leap.
Compared with normal people, people who often use their brains will have a higher degree of brain activity and better memory. Therefore, it is recommended that the elderly think more about the problem when eating, which can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Although the probability of the elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease is very high, as long as the elderly group develops the above five good eating habits, it can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease to a certain extent, so that the elderly can have a healthier body.
In addition, it is recommended that the elderly strengthen exercise and improve their own immunity, which can also play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
