Alzheimer’s disease is a mental deterioration, usually seen in old aged people. So far, there is not a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, there are method to slow it down but the memory loss, confusion and cognitive decline will remain there and continue to develop. Some doctors give advices to try to prevent symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. However, some analysis made by the government claims that there is not enough evidence so far to support the idea of exercising, crossword puzzles and eating habits being ways in which one could prevent the disease.
So far, not much investigation and money has been put into Alzheimer’s. what some scientists believe, is that eventually, Alzheimer’s disease will be one of the things that will worry Americans as much as cancer or heart diseases. This is due to Americas increase of life rate. This means people are also more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, this concerns Americans as their Alzheimer’s disease and dementia rates increase.
A phrase that can be linked to memory is that one that says “use it or lost it”. This means that you should use your brain and memory more often in order to avoid gradual age-related mental diseases. Some things doctors have recommended to do are keeping a mind always active, exercise frequently, eating certain foods and consume certain types of vitamins. On the other hand, other experimenters have tried to find the opposing factors (those which will are likely to lead to Alzheimer’s disease) or any other kind of cognitive disease. The results were that those people who smoked, have diabetes, depression, metabolic syndrome or a certain type of gene, have a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Personally, I think that people will try to do whatever they can to avoid the disease. However, there is not a definite way to treat it or prevent it from happening. Hopefully, scientist will be able to develop new ways in which the disease can be treated or ways in which one can prevent the disease more effectively.
