Alzheimer's disease: This applies even to those who think it doesn't concern them (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798557169783)

Alzheimer's disease - dementia is not only memory loss, it is a complete loss of intelligence. Today, there are about 35.6 million people with dementia worldwide. According to preliminary forecasts by WHO in the 21st century, this number will double by 2030, and by 2050 it will more than triple. The gradual fading of memory and interest in life. Knowledge and experience are forgotten. As a result of memory loss, performing simple household procedures becomes overwhelming. Dementia is not just a syndrome, it is a powerful effect on the psyche of not only sick people, but also for loved ones who care for them. This is a problem for society as a whole.My book is a personal experience and a professional view of the problem, a guide to action for those who have to take care of an elderly relative on their own; for those who are in a group risk and who are over 50 years old and for whom further full life is important.Now I live like this myself - I'm also in a group risk.Why is it important to know?The problem is that a person, often his relatives, seek help too late, when the intellect has already been lost. There are no lengthy descriptions or unnecessary information for the reader in my book. Only the most important, only the essence Is there a chance not to get sick?Having studied the possible methods of prevention at the time of publication, I came to the conclusion that it is real to prevent and delay the development of the disease. This means that it is important for everyone to know. Even to those who are sure that this does not concern him now. We don't know how we will be after 50, 60 or 70 years. There is no indulgence for this disease. We all sometimes forget something, when, for example, if we are upset or not attentive, but this is a transient state. However, it is enough to hear good news or a compliment, be pleasantly surprised at the attention paid to us, or just have a good sleep, and there will be no trace of this forgetfulness and blues. It is typical for a person, just thinking about something, to perform mechanically habitual functions without fixing his actions in memory, and then remember, for example: Where did I put my glasses, gloves? or I recently held it in my hands, and where the hell is this receipt now? A person with Alzheimer's disease has no joy, no inspiration, his life is like a river of oblivion... The gradual fading of memory and interest in life. Knowledge and experience are forgotten. As a result of memory loss, performing simple household procedures becomes unbearable.Famous and smartest people could not avoid this disease. In fact, the overwhelming majority of the sick are people of intellectual labor, actors, scientists, politicians, and, in a minimal number, people employed in production and with working specialties.Margaret Thatcher is the ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain, the world famous Iron Lady.Ronald Reagan is the 40th President of the United States, a famous actor and TV presenter. In the year of his election as president (1980), he founded the Alzheimer's Association. Later he turned to the Americans with an open appeal, frankly stating that he showed signs of Alzheimer's disease. You can say that it was a very brave and noble act, which changed the attitude of society towards dementia patients. Alzheimer's disease - this is a problem of humanity as a whole.
