What is happening with our mental condition once we get older? As everything in our body the cells of nervous system also ageing. We know from out external appearance how our skin becomes weaker and wrinkly and our movement is also slows down. It is no wonder that our thinking and reaction becomes weaker.
We all know that the older we get we start noticing the first signs of deterioration of our mental health:
our short term memory: have you ever heard when someone say that he wanted to do something and the next moment completely forgot. The next you start thinking hard to remember what it was, but it never comes easily. Often when we stop thinking about that we suddenly remember that.
the further deterioration is when people stop remembering names, telephone numbers and also the places. The people may get lost and could not find their home because they forget their addresses. The may get lost in places where they live.
later on they could not recognize their family and loved one. Sometimes they even get scared of their relatives because in their own world those people supposed to be as young as many years ago.
What is causing Dementia? Sometimes it is just getting older, but there are some cases when people as old as 100 years but they still have clear mind and memory. In other situation, in more young age people can develop the first signs of dementia. The is also a disease called Alzheimer that is often can be a reason for Dementia.
What to do to train your brain and prevent dementia?
healthy eating: our brain needs Vitamins, antioxidants
avoid alcohol as it could cause damage of brain
avoid alcohol as it could cause atherosclerosis of brain arteries and reduce oxygen supply that also could cause aging of brain cells
try to have regular fresh air
also it is advice to do different puzzles, sudoku, crosswords
Try to do your best to prevent those signs which is easy and as to treatment there is no real effective treatment of Dementia.
