Dementia symptoms: Are you reluctant to try this? It could be an early warning sign

  • May 1, 2020
  • SafeHomeDIY

Dementia is an increasing concern for people as they get older because brain decline is more common in people over the age of 65. The term dementia can refer to any number of conditions but the leading cause in the UK is Alzheimer’s disease. It can be hard in the early stages to differentiate between the condition and general signs of old age.

This is because the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s closely resemble the problems that are inherent in the ageing process.

Memory loss, for example, such as forgetting names of places and objects, is a common warning sign of the brain condition.

There is one distinct behavioural change that may help to spot Alzheimer’s, however.

According to the NHS, people with the condition tend to become less flexible and more hesitant at trying new things.

Mediterranean diets are traditionally high in fruits, vegetables, legumes and cereals, with moderate consumption of oily fish and dairy, and low in meat, sugar and saturated fat.

According to the Alzheimer’s Society, high levels of antioxidants from the high intake of fruits and vegetables may help to protect against some of the damage to brain cells associated with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as increasing the levels of proteins in the brain that protect brain cells from this damage.

As the health body explains, inflammation in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

There are suggestions that the diet reduces the signs of this inflammation.

“The diet is also linked to lower levels of cholesterol, which recent research has suggested may be associated with memory and thinking problems,” adds the Alzheimer’s Society.

Exercise has also been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s.

Several studies have focused on how moderate exercise is tied to biomarkers of Alzheimer’s.

These physical signs of the disease, such as the buildup of a protein called beta-amyloid in the brain, often show up before symptoms like memory loss.
