CARING FOR A SENIOR WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Degeneration of nerves or nervous system causes Alzheimer’s disease. While a person is still alive, it is impossible to determine whether the person is suffering from the disease or not. There is still no concrete way to tell whether the disease has set in even if we have conducted tests to observe mental functions and physical reactions of the patient. If the disease is set in, the patient suffers from it till he survives.
It is the primary responsibility of the family members to take care of the Alzheimer’s patient. Often doctors depend on the opinions of family members to confirm whether or not the patient has experienced sudden changes in physical actions and behavior.
Some suggestive measures:
No ultimate cure for the disease has been found till date, but it is believed that there are some ways by which the deterioration process could be at least slowed down or prevented.
Researches suggest that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease may be hereditary. No evidence of the causal effect of such is obtained so far, but if you were cautious and observant you may minimize the risks.
An observation has been put forward by some past studies saying that as compared to the general population, the risk of falling victim to the condition is much lower in people who play chess regularly. Similar is the case for a person who exercises on a regular basis. Also, it is believed that dancing is most effective exercise in eliminating the risk of such ailment. Needless to say, dancing provides a constant coordination between the body and the brain.
It is often advised to increase the intake of vitamins C and E when the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease are detected. To slow down the effect of the disease, the doses of both the vitamins should be taken in combination instead of taking them separately.
