Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's disease, is also known as God's most vicious curse. In a sense, it's scarier than cancer. So far, the cause is unknown, and there is no medicine to cure it, only to alleviate it.
From forgetting small things, to forgetting who you are in the end, losing the ability to cognize, think, and take care of yourself, you may also be aggressive, scolding, and beating, which is a tragedy for yourself and your family.
3 seconds,
We can only blink 2 times,
But 3 seconds,
There will be one new confirmed case in the world.
In China, in a few years, one of the four elderly people over 80 years old supported by a couple will be an Alzheimer's disease patient.
What's even more terrifying is that scientific research has found that some so-called good habits may actually be the culprits of Alzheimer's disease.
Under the weather? Eat lighter
Sick? Eat lighter
Recovering from a serious illness? Eat lighter
Doctors often say this, but what exactly does it mean to be light? Many people go to extremes and equate a light diet with a long-term vegetarian diet, and even dare not eat oil and salt.
If you eat a vegetarian diet for a long time, it will cause symptoms such as weakness, paleness, fatigue easily, lack of concentration, and memory loss. When there is a severe lack of nutrition, it can even cause diseases such as Alzheimer's, stones, and osteoporosis.
Especially in the elderly population, special attention should be paid to nutrition. Eat high-quality protein such as fish, poultry, eggs and lean meats, and ensure the intake of vegetables and fruits. The amount of sugar and salt should be controlled, but not eating it at all is even more detrimental to the body.
Dr. Molly Fox of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and colleagues analysed data from 192 countries. It was found that countries with better sanitation and facilities and higher urbanization also had higher rates of dementia. Among them, countries with good sanitation facilities have a 33% higher incidence of certification disorders.
Frequent disinfection, frequent use of antimicrobial drugs, and never contact with nature...... When the living environment is too clean, it is also a destruction of the ecological balance.
It's not good to sleep less, and it's not good to sleep too much.
The University of California, San Diego School of Pharmacy and the American Cancer Society surveyed 1 million people over a six-year period and found that adults who slept between 6.5 and 7.4 hours had the lowest mortality rate. Long sleepers who slept more than 8 hours were 146% more likely to have a stroke.
Framingham heart researchers in the United States found that older adults who slept more than nine hours a day had twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease twice as high as average.
However, if you have to sleep more than 9 hours a day to be comfortable, there is no need to deliberately change your schedule, if you want to lie in bed, or suddenly and inexplicably sleep for more than 9 hours a day, the former will have to overcome your inertia, and the latter will have to go to the hospital, because lethargy is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
