hey .........
Today is World Alzheimer's day.......
Alzheimer's disease is concerned to brain....The main risk factor for Alzheimer's disease is increased age.It is a slowly progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and eventually by disturbances in reasoning, planning, language, and perception.
Other risk factors for Alzheimer's disease include high blood pressure,Diabetes and elevated blood cholesterol.
Individuals who have completed less than eight years of education also have an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. These factors increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, but by no means do they mean that Alzheimer's disease is inevitable in persons with these factors.
Some symptoms include Memory loss,Difficulty performing familiar tasks,Poor or decreased judgment,etc.Safe environment must be provided for them.
ONLY reason I posted this is to know about the common disease as the age progresses.It is our duty to let our grand ma's and grand pa's know regarding this....allow them to eat only low cholesterol foods......
I feel this will be useful for us too in our lives..........:)
