Problems with short-term memory&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Problems with short-term memory are one of the most common early signs of dementia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first these changes are very subtle, causing a person to remember the events of past years without remembering recent events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also can&#8217;t remember where they put something or why they went somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Difficulty choosing the right word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a person has difficulty choosing the right word, dementia is very likely to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Mood swings&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mood swings are another common early sign of dementia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His victims often find themselves depressed for a short period of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to this, a change in personality is possible, meaning that someone who was shy can become outgoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Lethargy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lethargy is very common in those in the early stages of dementia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victims are likely to lose interest in everything, even things they used to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Difficulty making plans or solving problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in the early stages of dementia often have difficulty making plans or trying to carry out a plan they have previously created.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others may encounter problems when trying to deal with the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Difficulty performing normal daily activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another very common symptom of dementia is that it is difficult to do simple daily activities that used to be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Difficult understanding of time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time is relative and associations with the future, present or past can be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Difficulty recognizing places<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victims may sometimes not recognize familiar places and even the house may seem unfamiliar to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Spelling problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as these people have a hard time finding the right word, they also have a hard time choosing the right word when it comes to spelling, making their job more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Repetitions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repeating what they have already said several times earlier in the conversation is another symptom to look for in a person suffering from dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11. Try to avoid change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many people simply don&#8217;t like change, this sign can be frightening for people with dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12. Failing to follow a storyline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As discussed earlier, people with dementia are likely to have difficulty focusing and concentrating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This often manifests itself as an inability to follow the plot while watching the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to protect yourself from dementia? Dementia will affect more and more people in the coming decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not exaggerating at all. We give you reliable information that is good to know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And here are the reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life expectancy is increasing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that the number of elderly people in whom the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as\u00a0<strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s<\/strong>\u00a0disease or another form of dementia cannot be practically avoided will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will face a situation that was not typical of previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, now is the best time for the specialists in the field of science and medicine to discover new methods of treatment and early diagnosis of these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health care is becoming an increasingly important part of our lives. It is good to include natural methods to fight dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we would like to tell you about 5 effective ways to fight this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Stimulating the brain: much more than solving sudoku<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stimulating the brain protects against dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stimulating the brain is extremely important to prevent the onset of cognitive disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re talking about the brain&#8217;s unique ability called neuroplasticity, which allows us to make new connections and rebuild neural tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of you will think that solving crosswords and sudoku is enough for the purpose, but in reality it is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To protect yourself from the onset of dementia, you need social contacts, communication and new challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to learn new things, expand your horizons, laugh, argue, be inspired by the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your brain &#8220;refreshes&#8221; when you learn new things (the more complex the better).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, learning a new musical instrument at age 70 does wonders for your cognitive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Omega-3 fatty acids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omega-3 fatty acids protect against dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fish oil is one of the best foods for your brain along with walnuts, avocados and all foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These natural substances improve the functioning of the brain, take care of the heart and protect against neurodegenerative diseases with advancing age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is always good to change your diet and add foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. The link between aspirin and brain health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some observational studies, as well as articles such as the one published in the British newspaper Telegraph, prove that long-term aspirin intake reduces the risk of\u00a0Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aspirin, taken in small amounts and after a certain age, protects brain cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) reduces muscle and joint inflammation and prevents brain damage and neuron loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aspirin thins the blood and thus protects against heart attacks and cerebrovascular diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never start taking aspirin on your own, even on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your neurologist will analyze your condition and risk factors to decide whether or not to prescribe you a small daily dose of aspirin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Exercise and Mediterranean cuisine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mediterranean diet protects against dementia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A healthy menu rich in omega-3 fatty acids should also contain foods with a high fiber content, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, a small glass of red wine a day can improve your heart and brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mediterranean cuisine is a unique example of a healthy diet that you can stick to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consumption of olive oil and rice, replacing prepared foods with seasonal and natural products will provide you with an incredible amount of extremely useful minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember: in order to optimize your quality of life and protect yourself from the onset of dementia, you must not forget the importance of physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be active every day, walk, swim, dance, ride a bike, climb stairs instead of standing in front of the TV in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss: Detect the first symptoms of Dementia in time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. If you want to protect yourself from dementia, take care of your heart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we&#8217;ve told you how to take care of your brain, improve the connections between neurons, and make sure you&#8217;re getting enough nutrients to keep you from developing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there is another factor that we cannot ignore: you cannot take care of your brain without keeping your heart healthy because it will lose its strength and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s vital to keep track of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to control your cholesterol level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monitor your blood sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take care of your blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid being overweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, something very important, you need to take care of your emotional life, which can cause you a lot of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress and anxiety are among the main enemies of your heart and brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dementia is a term that refers to a decline in mental abilities that manifests itself with symptoms such as memory loss and difficulty thinking.&nbsp; It is a terrible condition that affects the lives of both the victims and their families. 12 early warning signs of dementia. 1.
