Few Facts About Alzheimer Disease

June 6, 2016 By Kurt Cottrell Leave a Comment

Man suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer’s disease needs more attention.

Alzheimer disease is already known as an illness that causes people to lose their ability to remember. However, many things are still unknown regarding this disease. Worse is that Alzheimer’s is fatal, and there are many symptoms besides memory loss.

Our best bet remains early diagnosis. According to Tom Hlavacek, Director of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter, Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month is the best chance for scientists to crack the mystery of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

If people are better informed about the warning symptoms and signs, they will be able to detect the disease early. Thus, they will benefit from support services and extensive care available with no charge.

Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s is the sixth cause of death in the U.S. and the only one that can’t be slowed, cured or prevented. To raise awareness regarding this critical situation, the Alzheimer’s Association is underlining essential information about the disease that every person should know.

The first fact would be that Alzheimer’s disease leaves no survivors. The number of Alzheimer’s deaths increased 71 percent from 2000 to 2013. Plus, over 5 million people in the United States are fighting with Alzheimer’s disease.

Secondly, Alzheimer’s is not normal aging, but a progressive and fatal disease that goes for the brain, destroying tissue and nerve cells, thus affecting a person’s ability to plan, think or remember. Brain changes related to Alzheimer’s may emerge over 20 years before the symptoms. Even if age is the highest known risk factor, Alzheimer’s is not a common part of aging.

Besides memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease affects people in various ways. Nevertheless, the Alzheimer’s Association found ten key warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease that every individual should recognize and learn. Hispanic and Africa-American women have the highest risk of developing the disease. According to the experts, our best bet is early detection. Even if 5 million people are dealing with Alzheimer’s, only half of them were correctly diagnosed.

Despite the fact that Alzheimer’s disease cannot be prevented, a healthy lifestyle can highly maintain your brain health and reduce the risks of cognitive decline. Eating a healthy diet, relying on regular physical activity and keeping yourself mentally active will benefit your brain and body. Hopefully, the medical field will come up with better solutions in the future to tackle this disease and improve the life of many people.
