As people get older, the threat of Alzheimer’s Disease looms closer.This makes it a major cause for concern. Typical advice for people who are growing old is to hope that one day, scientists will find a cure for this daunting disease. But since there is no known cure yet, they just must hope that it doesn’t happen to them.
Fortunately, the truth isn’t as bleak. There have been a lot of research done which show promising results. The risk of Alzheimer’s and other similar diseases can be reduced. This is done by changing one’s lifestyle. It’s all about making healthier choices and sticking to these changes. People who lead a lifestyle which is brain-healthy have a higher likelihood of putting a stop to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. By following a combination of healthy lifestyle choices, a person can slow down or reverse the deterioration process.
Studies have shown that the golden years are most likely to be the happiest days of a person’s life. When people reach these years, they already have a lot of experiences, wisdom, and possibly, fewer responsibilities. However, the risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases is always lurking around the corner. Thinking about age-related diseases like these can dampen the mood. Alzheimer’s Disease is dangerous because it takes away a person’s memories, and identity. And when in the most advanced stage, even a person’s life. This possibility is enough to make anyone fear the disease.
Statistics show that up to the ripe age of 65, only 1 in 20 people has the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. But after that age, the risk doubles every 5 years or so. This is the sad news. However, there is a silver lining. Researchers keep on doing studies which may eventually lead to a breakthrough. This breakthrough may allow doctors to pinpoint the exact symptoms of Alzheimer’s earlier. Aside from that, they might also come up with medicines or pharmaceuticals which can treat the disease before it progresses into more advanced stages.
