Alzheimer’s disease is an acquired impairment of cognitive and
behavioral functioning of unknown cause that can evolve into dementia.
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease most commonly present with insidiously
progressive memory loss. Many Alzheimer’s disease treatments have been
explored. The main Alzheimer’s disease medications are centrally acting
cholinesterase inhibitors.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an
irreversible, progressive disorder in which brain cells (neurons)
deteriorate, resulting in the loss of cognitive functions, primarily
memory, judgment and reasoning, movement coordination, and pattern
recognition.
Some symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease
include:
• Abstract Thinking
• Initiative
• Disorientation
•
Language
• Misplacing Items
• Personality
There is no cure
for Alzheimer’s disease, which is progressive and fatal. The disease
begins in the area of the brain that affects recent memory and gradually
spreads. As the disease advances, most people with Alzheimer’s disease
eventually will need complete skilled nursing care, and the continued
loss of brain function and related complications leads to death.

products, egg yolks, liver, green tea; blueberries, strawberries, and
grains all are potential sources of “brain food.”

your physical condition, exercise can take many forms. Swimming,
walking, jogging, isometrics, going to a gym and so forth all are
possibilities for people of all ages.
• Challenge your brain. Try
working a crossword puzzle, brain teaser, or jigsaw puzzle. Take up a
new interest by attending a continuing education class or read a book
about a new subject.
• Do something new. Newness, without excessive
stress, has been shown to be beneficial to the brain’s health. Many
people get into routines that become predictable and boring. Scientists
now say those routines are mentally unhealthy.
• Give and receive
love. Interaction with other people stimulates the brain and helps keep
it healthy. By showing love to others we are forced to step outside our
comfort zones and to make someone’s needs more important than our own.
Showing love is not only beneficial to the recipient, but also to the
giver.
