Alzheimer’s is causing progressive loss of all cognitive functions of the brain, mainly memory. According to experts, 100 percent protection from the disease is not possible, but the possibility of getting caught with some measures can be reduced.
Mental exercise, movement, regular physical exercise, nutritional precautions and social life have an important effect on prevention from Alzheimer’s.
Mental Exercise: The exercises that each individual can make in terms of educational status, abilities and likes are also different. Do not break your hands, but if you do not have a hobby, be sure to get yourself a hobby.
We can multiply mental exercise examples such as making a large scale puzzle, constantly trying to learn something new with endless curiosity, trying to learn a language we do not know, working on compelling motifs if we are knitting, solving puzzles differently every time.
Movement and regular physical exercise: Exercise, which is a great way to protect our general health, is equally important in terms of our mental health. When exercising, hormones and neurochemicals are effective in preventing depression as well as in protecting our mental functions and in using it with full capacity.
Exercise should not be perceived as a long-term and heavy exercise, or as a professional sporting event. Regular walking for 30 minutes or 45 minutes per day, or amateur level sports such as pilates, yoga, tennis, swimming, even simple exercises is enough.
After that, exercise regularly and act to live health problems that can not be returned.
PRECAUTIONS FOR NUTRITION!
Let’s take the results of the studies on Alzheimer’s and nutrition one by one.
Mediterranean type diet: The most scientific study on the protection from Alzheimer’s disease is the type of diet found. All items in this area should be given the most importance. Abundant amounts of green vegetables and fruits. This type of diet, which is found in complex carbohydrates and dry legumes, in which olive oil is preferred as meat as oil, is also protective against cardiovascular diseases.
Dark green leafy vegetables: Of course, dark green leafy vegetables can be included in the Mediterranean diet. They are rich in folic acid and folic acid is very important to make your memory stronger. Among the dark green leafy vegetables, the most folic acid is spinach and black cabbage.
Foods containing omega-3s: fish (particularly fatty fish, salmon, in cold and deep waters), walnuts, nuts, flax seeds …
Coconut: Some studies suggest that coconut oil is involved in a group of foods that reduce the likelihood of getting Alzheimer’s disease.
BEWARE OF INDIA NUTRITIONAL OIL
Listen to this warning to avoid any misunderstandings: Some “investors” in the last period offer this coconut oil, which is produced by distorting this information, as a drug of Alzheimer’s disease.
The thing mentioned in this article is the coconut itself which is beneficial to your diet. It is not oils that are produced by a number of companies and whose additives are unknown. Coconut oil is in the saturated fat group and increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Caffeine: It is the most abundant and stimulant substance. When caffeine is taken in a certain amount, it makes both physical and mental stimuli.
Several scientific studies have shown that caffeine is protective against Alzheimer’s disease.
Catechin; This substance is in the highest green tea. Just as it is in the same cafe, a few publications about catechins say it is protective against Alzheimer’s disease.
L-Theanine: The only amino acid in the tea is the variety. There are studies about improving mental performance. It is found in both green and black tea.
Resveratrol: Scientific studies have shown that resveratrol, an antioxidant found in abundance in black grape pine, pineapple, peanut, bitter chocolate and raspberry, may be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Resveratrol is an antioxidant. It is believed that the harmful substances prevent the passage of the brain, helping to stabilize the blood-brain barrier.
How antioxidants protect against aging of the skin and the body also carry these features for the brain.
Turmeric: In some scientific studies, it has been shown that turmeric is good for protecting our brain from neurotoxins (substances damaging the brain) due to antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. Some studies even claim to reduce beta amyloid plaques.
Social life: It is determined that people who are active in social life have a low probability of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Participating in friends’ meetings, taking part in volunteer organizations, chatting with our loved ones are among the things we should not neglect.
There are also studies reporting that marriage can be one of the protective factors, and that loneliness is one of the factors that trigger the disease.
