Thailand enters

"Aged society" that has to deal with health care for the elderly, especially

"Alzheimer's disease" is the cause of dementia in the elderly aged 60 years and over that tends to be found more and more day by day.

Estimated that in the next 10 years.

"People with this disease will increase by millions." Among those aged 65 years and over, there is a chance of occurring up to 1 in 10 and those aged 85 years have a 1 in 3 risk of developing dementia, which becomes a big problem for families. work outside

“Leaving the elderly alone at home” can cause sudden injuries leading to bedridden conditions.

In fact, "not everyone has to suffer from dementia when they get old," but it is a disease that can be prevented if a good understanding of the aging mechanisms of the brain is understood.

which is caused by Alzheimer's disease forming in the brain after 15 years of intelligence development

Then the symptoms begin to increase in intensity, forgetfulness, confusion, hallucinogenic behavior.

Because the brain cells die until there are few left to function normally. This is why the Center for Emerging Disease Health Sciences

Faculty of Medicine

Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society organized a Sabai Brain Strong & Healthy activity to meet and discuss the risk of dementia.

Prof. Dr. Teerawat Hemachutha,

head of the Center for Emerging Disease Health Sciences, said that during the COVID-19 outbreak

Both symptomatic and symptomatic patients were studied.

and show no symptoms

“When recovered, many people face long COVID symptoms,” especially some people experience symptoms characteristic of dementia 80-100 days after infection.

for example

“I was infected with COVID in June 2022” and often had forgetfulness, requiring a blood test after 88 days of recovery. Complications from long-term COVID-19 appear

This is a foreknowledged challenge to further halt the disease.

Like “PM 2.5 dust can cause dementia” because the toxic dust penetrates into the blood and spreads to all parts of the body.

"Causing organ inflammation" becomes heart disease, cancer and dementia followed by

Later, “stimulant drugs” should be avoided with known anti-drug drugs.

Antidepressants, painkillers, Parkinson's disease drugs

"This drug will stimulate the brain to work hard", especially drugs for acid reflux often increase the risk of dementia like Alzheimer's.

according to the report

"The American Journal of Medicine 2017" in the case of taking acid reflux medication for 6 consecutive months "results in more than 50% of kidney deterioration, along with the risk of dementia."

Therefore, we should take medicines sensibly to be safe.

In the section "antihistamines, motion sickness, seasickness, antidepressants, anti-depressant drugs, frequent urination drugs" in neurology states that

Taking this drug for 6-9 consecutive months often has side effects causing brain atrophy.

and deteriorate more quickly

Next, “Eating vitamin B6 helps nourish the brain and nervous system,” but if you eat a lot, it affects the nerves.

The appearance of burning numbness along the toes and the tips of the hands

and muscle weakness

In some cases, muscle spasms until loss of balance, so anyone taking vitamin B6 must see the warning label, do not eat more than 10 mg/day because some brands of vitamins adjust the dosage to 250-500 mg.

What's more, is

“Calcium supplementation” as usual when entering old age.

“Capillaries in the brain become constricted and clogged,” leaving a small scar.

But that does not mean that paralysis must occur.

"Calcium supplementation helps small scars" may lead to a threefold increase in dementia risk.

For "patients with paralysis," when supplemented with calcium, the risk of dementia was seven times higher, suggesting that calcium intake is not beneficial.

But instead add more punishment to the brain

If talking about "sleep a lot can risk dementia" because actually everyone has a mechanism to control waking and sleeping that is like an on-off switch

"With a group of brain cells as a stimulus", but there was an observation when entering the bedroom

“That person is difficult to sleep and wakes up often.

And when it's time to wake up, it's hard to wake up.” These are all dementia warning signs.

Another daytime nap is another warning sign of dementia.

Because normal people take naps during the day on average at 11 minutes. If they start to have dementia, they tend to take naps twice as much as 24 minutes/day. If the symptoms are severe, they take a nap longer to 66 minutes/day and take a nap for more than 1 hour/day. or more than once a day, there is a 40% chance of developing dementia.

Older men who nap for more than 2 hours/day tend to have cognitive decline than those who nap less than 30 minutes/day. However, daytime naps do not include compensatory sleep during the night.

The point that "Dementia can slow down the progression" by detecting before memory loss occurs.

"Creating a proactive development plan project for Brain Initiatives" by the Center for Emerging Diseases Health Sciences.

and the Public Health Systems Research Institute

Develop a rapid, accurate blood detection method for dementia in 10-15 minutes.

“If Alzheimer's disease is detected in the incubation period, that is

period without symptoms

or without the loss of a lot of brain cells can prevent this disease by controlling risk factors that promote dementia, such as maintaining blood pressure, exercising, quitting smoking, and avoiding drugs that accelerate dementia.

and eat nutritious food, ”Prof. Dr. Teerawat said.

As for “eating healthy food that saves that life,” such as fish, seafood, fruits and vegetables, nuts of all kinds, especially olive oil, has been an important component of the Mediterranean diet that has been consumed for more than 2,000 years, with research proving that olive oil. An extra-virgin olive oil called Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) is helpful in Alzheimer's disease.

In 2017, scientists from Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania studied two groups of mice, one fed a diet high in extra virgin olive oil and the other a normal diet at 12 months of age. Decreased brain toxicity, a key feature of Alzheimer's disease

In addition, extra virgin olive oil can stimulate the process of frugal use of the energy of nerve cells.

And bring the waste from work to be destroyed more efficiently as well

There is also

The “Mediterranean diet” is a diet that combines the Mediterranean style of eating with the anti-hypertensive food choices.

“Red bell peppers” have anti-nicotine compounds.

High free radicals help prevent cancer.

Help prevent dementia

or Alzheimer's

Help slow down dementia by 30%

Importantly, "beer can reduce the risk of dementia," according to a 2023 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA network open).

"Reducing the risk of dementia." Reducing the amount from heavy to moderate drinking also reduces the risk of dementia.

While "not drinking and then starting to drink in small amounts reduces the risk of dementia", heavy drinkers had an 8% increase in risk, so drinking alcohol in moderation often has health benefits.

Finally reiterated that

Everyone has a chance to become

"Unconscious dementia", but if you know how to prevent it in living and taking care of your health early

by eating chemical-free food, reducing starch, reducing sugar, reducing sugary drinks, exercising regularly

And having regular physical examinations will help keep you away from Alzheimer's disease together...
