Alzheimer’s disease grows on slowly. It is not yet a known fact that why Alzheimer’s happens. Research work is going on rapidly to discover the exact reason for Alzheimer’s and whether this is a hereditary disease or not. One must be very careful as the early indications of Alzheimer’s are very simple that we often overlook. It starts with mild absentmindedness. We tend to ignore that and think it is due to lack of concentration. Though this absentmindedness may not necessarily turn into Alzheimer’s but we must be cautious.

Symptoms
Those affected with Alzheimer’s disease show indications of forgetting their everyday-activities. Watch out for the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Strange change of behavior is noticed in these patients. They appear sleepy all the time but at night they stay awake. They may not keep in mind places, well-known belongings, equipments, cloths or even people. They start doing repetition of same things over and over again. The ability to organize thoughts gradually falls.

Alzheimer’s Treatment
Diet of an Alzheimer’s patient must consist of rich magnesium ingredients. Magnesium fights with aluminum and gets immersed at the barricade between blood and brain. Essential Fatty Acid, known as EFA is very helpful to fight Alzheimer’s. EFAs must be inserted in the body through diet as body cannot produce it. Also, the antioxidant diets are helpful. Thus, the diet of an Alzheimer’s patient must include fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and seeds.  These days, there are various dietary supplements, vitamins and herbal remedies available to cure Alzheimer’s. However, it is always suggested to consult an expert before starting any treatment.

Alzheimer’s generally happens with elderly persons. No matter how good expert you consult and what big bucks you spend, you have to deal with them with absolute kindness and patience. Try to keep them engaged by helping them to solve crosswords, turning on music, giving massages or by taking them outdoors. It is a pathetic state of mind and the patient becomes absolutely helpless. They start behaving like child. Treat them as child. All they need is love and care. We can only pray that medical science soon come up with proper cure to this painful brain dysfunction.
