Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a long evolution whose clinical symptoms appear late in life. However, in the last years, the paradigm of AD has changed. In the past, researchers thought AD was an age-related disorder that begins during the aging process. Today we know that the onset of the disease occurs between 15 (for the genetic) and 20–30 years (for the sporadic) before any clinical symptom appears.  There is no preventive or curative therapy for the disease and the lack of knowledge of when the disease begins greatly complicates the work of the physicians. Another added handicap is that neither do we know why the disease begins. In this sense, there are several hypotheses trying to explain the beginning of AD. These hypotheses may not be exclusive, and they may well overlap and take place at the same time. We can divide the hypotheses into three groups: The hypotheses based on protein deposits. This group includes the beta-amyloid (Aβ)

Alzheimer's OR Dementia?

 Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer's is a specific disease. Dementia is not. A person who has experienced any loss or impairment will eventually experience an onset symptom that causes him/her difficulty making decisions and using memory, problem-solving skills etc. Some people are unable even to remember some things when their brain functions normally (think: remembering how to use one door). If you think about it we would all have forgotten what our shoes were made from... Echolalia - The name goes back thousands since ancient Greeks used the word 'e' as suffix added by spelling letters "y" into words like ΠΑιλα(Hence Eko), which means water god and literally meant fountain.  Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. A

Early-onset Alzheimer's

Though the effects of the disease are similar, there are two main types. Early-onset Alzheimer's. This type happens to people who are younger than age 65. Often, they're in their 40s or 50s when they're diagnosed with the disease. When it affects older adults, though most develop normal functioning by themselves and don't require medication, some patients may have a high rate of memory loss after long-term treatment—the researchers estimate that one out of 10 can experience an average dropout for four years while developing dementia. People usually first notice symptoms during middle adulthood; once those begin occurring, more frequent diagnosis is needed so doctors know which stages overlap each other. "If you take care," says Dr. Roberts at NYU Langone Medical Center on Long Island recently before talking about his study, "his brain gets less responsive through aging." And he believes this should be prevented. This type happens to people who are yo

Bananas are a great source of potassium

  Bananas are a great source of potassium, manganese, vitamin C , and fiber, but did you know they can also enhance memory? Studies show eating bananas help students learn more efficiently and improve exam scores. " We believe that the banana is an excellent nutritionally dense food for those trying to stay on top in school," explains Ravi Agarwal-Nagar, chairman at Chakra School in Bombay where three out ten children get their meals free daily from April 11 till March 30. Agarwalson says his team offers classes including math, history (including classics) science class and music with high end audio equipment along side traditional cooking which includes coconut juice as well. The education agency has already launched 24 specialised lesson packages dedicated exclusively towards fruit consumption while another 25 lessons.  Bananas are a great source of potassium, manganese, vitamin C, and fiber, but did you know they can also enhance memory ?

Middle Dementia

 Stage five lasts, on average, one and a half years. Also known as Middle Dementia, stage six marks a period in which a person requires substantial assistance to carry out day-to-day activities such that they are unable to effectively use all the abilities granted by their brain tissue. Stage seven is generally found at about age 30; it can occur anywhere from 10 to 60 or even 70. (The United States has estimated that just under 90 percent of Americans suffering from Alzheimer's disease suffer from some sort 3). stage six marks a period in which a person requires substantial assistance to carry out day-to-day activities including daily social interaction, cooking, bathing, or cleaning the house. Stage seven comes when people begin living independently at age 30 because of medical difficulties caused by dementia. Human Soul                  Universe star            Health           

Sleeping more?

  Sleeping more and more is a common feature of later-stage dementia . As the disease progresses, the damage to a person's brain becomes more extensive and they gradually become weaker and frailer over time. Most people suffering from Alzheimer will only be affected for short periods of their lives – in other words, it may take decades before cognitive impairment has developed into full disability. In some cases that can happen within years because symptoms come on so suddenly at such a young age. However those who suffer from early onset neurodegenerative diseases do face an uphill battle when compared with similar mild forms like Parkinson or Dementia Progressive. Early stages of this type also include tremors (stupor) and occasional movements associated specifically as part: loss/damage of fingers etc. These might not cause much concern if you're just starting out but.
