How do I prevent Altzeimers?

this scares me too-my dad's mom and her brother both had it.i know you can be gene tested now to see if you are at risk,but there still doesn't seem to be much in the way of treatment. the irony was my grandmother always thought aluminum pans caused altzhemiers-so she never used any. and she got it anyway.

Nutrition Action has a good magazine and their cover article is about Alzheimer's :) 1) Shoot for two or three servings of fatty fish each week. 2) Limit bad fats. Such as saturated and trans fats 3) Eat leafy greens Such as kale, iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, or spinach. 4) Look for vitamin-E-rich foods Examples leafy greens, vegetable oils, nuts, and whole grains. 5) Keep your blood sugar down. 6) Lose excess waist. Lose excess weight, and maintain an appropriate waist size. 7) Get moving 8) Keep a lid on blood pressure 9) Use your head. 10) Don't ignore depression And that is what the article suggested, if you want to read the whole article visit their website and start subscribing today :) http://www.cspinet.org

One simple idea is to train your brain and memory. There are some exercises for it. And add more nuts in your diet. The nuts stimulate the brain cells.

Alzheimer's is a topic very near and dear to my heart. We lost my grandmother to this disease. I am also in the process on now losing my mother. She is in the final stages of the disease and has about 2 weeks left to live. It is so heart breaking!!! My mothers sister may now have the disease as well. So it does run on my mother's side of the family. It is very scary to think that I may also get this disease one day. I try to keep my mind active all the time. I am on the computer alot, all that reading is suppose to help your brain cells. I also do alot of find-a-word books. I like to keep my mind busy. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. I pray that there will be a cure one day so no one has to suffer through this again.

Here's a good link for alzheimers prevention information. Apparently, there is a lot you can do to prevent and slow down alzheimers. One of the things mentioned is that lifestyle and environment might be more influential than genes for some individuals. http://www.helpguide.org/elder/alzheimers_prevention_slowing_down_treatment.htm

There are studies that coffee can reduce the risk of Alzheimers, ive read it in some health mag at home... But check with your doctor first ok! Have a healthy life! :-)

Good luck with this. I know that creating new connections by doing puzzles and word finds etc can help that greatly and those game shows that are maddening may be just the ticket for keeping the brain functioning. I know other areas of the brain can help by taking over for certain functions. I would hope you could feed the brain with the things it needs to function and keep it going well into your later years, mobile and thinking well. Again, good luck with this.

Perhaps this link can answer any questions you may have. http://www.alzheimersprevention.org/intro_4_pillars.htm

i dont think there is any sure way to prevent Alzheimer's, i used to volunteer at an old folks home and so many of them had it. they all saw themselves as kids but when they look in the mirror they saw themselves old and it frightened them so much. age is scary.

I have read that you can prevent Alzheimers by being active. My father in-law has a problem with dementia and he is prone to Alzheimers I think so he is doing games like scrabble and playing games regularly. I think it's an advice that his doctor gave him. I wish you good luck and good health. And I hope you will not deal with this disease. Even if it is running in your family that doesn't mean you will get it. Good luck jennybianca.

Hi jennybianca, this is an incurable degenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterised by the relentless progressive loss of mental capabilities. It usually increases after the age of 65. You have a strong family history or Altzeimers. It is a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any possibility. If so, the doctor will know what the next is/are. Chances are it can slow down the disease.

i first of all sorry to that health problem,may i know the symptoms,how we recognize it is Alzheimer health problem,any health problem you can reduce bu drinking more butter milk with little table spoon of salt and finger tipped pepper powder daily 3 times, then go for speed walk and always exercise but in smooth way,the every day two glasses of different fruit juices with out sugar mixed and ice cubes mixed reduces the viral infection growth of white tissues and aging reduces , health improves,maximum avoid refrigerator foods and storing foods,eat daily fresh fruits and fresh vegetables than storing in containers and freezes including drinking water just boil and drink after it cool naturally.

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard that the aluminum in most deodorants is linked to Alzheimer's. You might have to do some research, though. Try looking for one that doesn't contain aluminum.

http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water-education3/26-water-alzheimers-disease-age-effects.htm This site talks about water preventing and alleviateing many of our symptoms including Alzheimer’s Disease and other Aging Effects http://www.bellybytes.com/bytes/cherries.shtml This one talks about eating cherries. There are probaly more if you want to look them up on the internet.

I don't know much about altzeimers, but I've heard vitamin E and omega 3 (fish oil) Helps restore and prevent memory loss...

I dont know a lot about it, but if its genetic, then its genetic, I dont that you can actually do anything to prevent it. Lets just hope that it misses a few generations.

Sorry I have nothing to contribute. Just want to tell that I will monitor this discussion for it interests me.

I'f its genetic the chances of inheriting this disease is very high. I don't know if there is any medication to prevent alzheimer disease. i've read that Gingko biloba extract is an antioxidant that slows down the deterioration of brain cells but it does not prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease.

I read all about what you're said.The best way just:healthy lifestyle and more exercise,yes?Here are some easy exercise in our daily life.Have a try,just a game. 1.when you get up in the morning,combing your hair using your fingers until you feel the brain skin is warm. 2.drink 300 or 400 ml cool water that hot water cool by naturally 3.laughing and singing the song loudly 4.making more friends and talking with them just as you do talk actively on MayLot. 5.eat more venegar,it can soften the blood pipe. May you happy.
