Due to our ageing population, the incidence of dementia is estimated to rise above 1.1 million by 2050. Every five years after the age of 65, the likelihood of living with dementia doubles and the disease affects one in four people aged 85 and over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There are two types of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, sporadic and familial (hereditary). In the sporadic form, the disease is usually diagnosed after the age of 65 and is by far the most common form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In the less common familial form, the disease runs in families and usually affects people in their 40s or 50s.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe increase in early-onset dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s diagnoses among a generation who typically wouldn\u2019t expect to encounter these conditions for several decades is concerning, especially since there is no cure for Alzheimer\u2019s disease,\u201d said Dr. Vincent Nelson, vice president of medical affairs for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, US. which gathered data for the report from a database of medical claims of more than 48 million commercially insured Blue Cross customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Considering that by the time you reach 85 years of age, your odds of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease are almost one in two in the US.,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">This video is all about discussing how we could minimise the risk of getting brain-destroying disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease cannot be cured with pills or just seeing your doctor.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Like most other long-term diseases, Alzheimer\u2019s should be considered as an inflammatory event.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">That alone gives us a clew in which direction we should follow to minimise the risk.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Diet and physical and mental activities are important, and Mediterranean diet alone supposed to reduce the risk of this disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In short, most cases of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia cases are avoidable.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">As we talk that Alzheimer\u2019s disease is an inflammatory disease, turmeric, a spice best known as an ingredient in curry powder, may help prevent Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">However, studies in animals have found turmeric may influence several brain changes that take place in the progression of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Most cases of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia are avoidable. On the Greek island of Ikaria, there is a population of 10,000 people living eight to 10 years longer than Americans with half the rate of heart disease, much less cancer, and most extraordinarily, almost no cases of dementia.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">How Are Ikarians Avoiding Alzheimer\u2019s Disease?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">It is all about diet and physical and mental activities\u2019<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Ikarians eat a Mediterranean diet composed of a high in vegetables, beans, fruit, and nuts, and low in meat and dairy. But what are the protective components in the diet? Looking at the research, the important dietary differences seem to be the high plant consumption and the lower fat consumption.<br \/>\nIf you are living in America and you hit 85 years, there\u2019s a high chance you have Alzheimer\u2019s disease. On Ikaria, you have a less than 10 percent chance. People are staying sharp and healthy until the end, says Dan Buettner Founder of Blue Zones, National Geographical Fellow and New York Times bestselling author.<br \/>\nChina has the lowest fat intake and lowest Alzheimer\u2019s incidence compared to the United States having the highest fat intake and highest Alzheimer\u2019s rates.<br \/>\nIt is not the unsaturated fat consumption, but the saturated fats in meat and diary products that cause the problems, such as poorer trajectory of cognition and memory, as in the risk heart disease.<br \/>\nSo, the foods to avoid are: Beef, lamb, pork, butter, cheese, sausages.<br \/>\nThis alone shows the folly of people going into Keto diets to reduce weight as a long-term plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The Mediterranean diet is composed of:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">1. High intake of vegetables, legumes, fruits, and cereals<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">2. High intake of unsaturated fatty acids (mostly in the form of olive oil)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">3. Low intake of saturated fatty acids<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">4. Moderately high intake of fish<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">5. Low-to-moderate intake of dairy products (mostly cheese or yogurt)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">6. Low intake of meat and poultry<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">7. Regular but moderate amount of ethanol, primarily in the form of wine and generally during meals.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Ikarians also seem to drink lot of herbal teas made from oregano, dandelion, sage and rosemary. They are found to be anti-inflammatories and have a mild diuretic function which controls your blood pressure.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">John Hopkins research published in the journal Neurology confirmed that the use of diuretics reduced the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s by nearly 75 percent. Other research confirms that diuretics have a neuroprotective benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Exercise is very important to reduce the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Ikaria is a mountainous village, and walking seems to be the mode of transport.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Social contact:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The way the Ikarians live in the mountains can\u2019t avoid social contact. It is customary and traditional for Ikarians to socialise frequently. They have regular village festivals, at church, and at celebrations. If you don\u2019t patronize them, your neighbour will be pounding at your door wondering where you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Ikarians are much less likely to suffer loneliness and depression than Americans. Depressed people are 50 percent more likely to suffer from dementia.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Sri Lankans living in Melbourne and Sydney organize frequent film shows, dance recitals, dinner dances, and many artists are brought from Sri Lanka to provide entertainment. Hopper Nites are quite popular in both cities.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Such events make the expat Sri Lankans live longer, actively with less risk of getting mental illnesses.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Seniors over the age of 60, gather in Sydney, once a month for a rendezvous, an event enjoyed, and such social activities with the right diet and being physical would be the answer for expat Sri Lankans to prevent mental diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Exercise<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Exercise s the panacea for most chronic illnesses, including arthritis and Dementia.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">A new study found that people at risk for Alzheimer\u2019s disease but whose brains were still healthy improved their thinking skills by exercising.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Their brains also got better at metabolizing glucose, the sugar that powers the mind.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Aerobic exercise has been associated with reduced burden of brain and cognitive changes related to Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Brains got better at metabolizing glucose that powers the mind after exercise, and its efficient metabolism is a sign of healthy neurons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42782 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Glucose-metabolism-600x236.jpg\" alt=\"Glucose metabolism\" width=\"600\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Glucose metabolism is shown in a sedentary person (left) and in someone after a 26-week program of moderate exercise (right).
