As
the threat of memory based diseases such as Amnesia and Alzheimer is
increasing, the medical community is trying their best to come out with the
best of solution. Several researches are being carried on globally to make
difference to such conditions. Some achievement has been made so far but
nothing considerable as come so far. As Alzheimer is being a constant threat to
the growing number of elderly, according to one of the statistics nearly 65% of
them are exposed to the disease. Little diagnosis could be made so far as not
too many are aware of the condition and refer it to the aging process.
Until
they realize that it is affecting their quality of life so much, so that it has
damaging effect on them in various ways such as psychological, emotional and financial.
Especially in a nuclear family setup older folks find themselves ignored most
of the time. Due to ignorance and little awareness the disease is hardly
diagnosed on time and leads to death.
Current
research on memory loss reveals that Omega 3 fats are helpful in declining such
conditions. Folic acid and folate are also known to help the condition;
supplements if taken for 3 years can significantly help on improving cognitive
functions. People who consume fish on a regular basis have lesser chances of
suffering from any form of Dementia. Vegetables also are known to be rich in
few minerals and vitamin that helps in neurons functions. Exercise is however
the most important way to keep the brain active as it leads to better blood
circulating throughout body and brain.
According
to a study those who exercise three times a week are less disposed to develop
disease such as Alzheimer. Brain diet mostly constitutes of low saturated fats,
coniferous vegetables, fruit and fish with omega-3
fatty acids. An active social life enhances our defences and builds immunity
and reduces inflammation. Green tea
also may work as wonder for the brain research has proved that those who have
regular intake of green tea are less likely to suffer from cognitive
impairment.
Drinking
2 servings of green tea a day can help keep any cognitive dysfunction at bay.
Keeping a check on weight also helps to counter Dementia. Blood pressure and
cholesterol control can lower the risk of Alzheimer. Eating leafy green
vegetables and coniferous veggies also helps in restoring cognitive functions.
So one should carefully include all the green vegetables such as broccoli and
spinach in one's diet plan.
Older
people who exercise on a regular basis are known to generate more brain cells
than their counterparts who do not exercise and also learn new skills more
effectively. Consuming fruits and veggies rich in antioxidants helps in
boosting metabolism and maintain the integrity of nerve cell components.
Magnesium and Zinc intake are also known to improve and maintain brain receptors
thus enhancing memory.
Research
has also proven blueberries, Ginseng, Gastrodine and Gingko Biloba to help
create new neurons and improve memory functions. Vitamin B12, vitamin C,
vitamin E and other nutritional supplements intake helps restoring memory
function and build new cells though justifiable amount of caffeine taken
through tea and coffee also sharpens brain proven by a recent research.
Lowering of cortisol level and stress can help regenerate its power to remember
and learn. Aerobics can protect brain tissue from aging and decline. These are
results of few researches that have been done to check memory loss and brain
related disorder.
