To slow down the development of Demencies, it is necessary to develop the use of the sugar, regularly check the hearing health and learn to use technologies effectively. The Times told The Times Neurologist, Professor Catherine Lavde.
According to Lavde, maintaining friendship and participating in public life reduces the level of stress and anxiety, weakening inflammatory processes in the body. In the past, scientists have confirmed that chronic inflammation can accelerate the development of cognitive disorders.
Memory training also plays an important role. The professor advises to write everything that happened in the day before bed every night. This technique activates the mechanism of spatial repetition, one of the most effective ways to unite information.
Dr. Lavde emphasizes that the use of technology should not cause inconvenience. On the contrary, postings and navigators can significantly simplify the daily lives of people with memory disorders. According to him, the ability to use online maps helps the elderly stay independent and calm, and the function of geographical location can help relatives in emergencies.
It is another way to maintain cognitive health. According to the professor, patients with Alzheimer's disease often remember childhood events, and nostalgic conversations, such as favorite music or school years, help them maintain their sense of identity.
The doctor also reminded about the importance of physical activity and a healthy diet. According to him, even simple walks are useful. Spatial navigation stimulates the sections of the brain responsible for memory.
"The abundance of sweets in the diet can increase the level of inflammation in the body and cause a sharp increase in glucose, which has a negative impact on the brain work. It is also important to maintain the sleeping regime, as both its failure or surplus increases the risk of democracy, "the neurologist explained.
In conclusion, the expert reminded that after the age of 60, it is necessary to regularly check the hearing and vision, at least two years. Studies show that timely treatment of hearing loss may delay the development of Dementia, although the exact mechanisms of this influence are not yet fully understandable.
