A four year study by US scientists has found that people following a diet high in unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats - found in vegetables and some oils – had a lower risk of contracting the illness. The scientists studied 815 people aged 65 or older. At the start of the study none of the volunteers had Alzheimer's, but by its end 131 had developed symptoms. People who consumed a lot of saturated fat were 2.3 times more likely to develop symptoms than those whose diet was low in these fats. Conversely, people whose diet contained high levels of unsaturated fat were up to 80 per cent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who consumed low levels of unsaturated fats. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. The disease typically begins with lapses in memory, mood swings, and in difficulty finding the right words. Later the person affected may become more confused and may find it difficult to understand what is being said.

As the disease progresses, caregivers are faced with different health and nutritional issues. Providing adequate nutrition may be challenging, but it is a worthy goal that preserves the person's health and wellbeing. Nutritional Concerns and Recommended Guidelines Weight loss due to eating problems such as poor-fitting dentures, problems in swallowing, and loss of appetite. Weight loss or loss of appetite may be caused by noise, odor, and/or conversation distractions while eating. Eat a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals and engage in regular activity or exercise. This may improve symptoms in some patients. Daily physical activity increases appetite, muscle strength, joint flexibility, and bone density, and decreases nervous tension. Symptoms of AD are unique for every individual. Some people may have loss of appetite, and some may forget to eat, while others gorge themselves. In the early stages of AD, it is helpful to establish baseline body weight. As the disease progresses, the individual with AD will need more assistance with shopping and food preparation.

Patrick J. Bird, Ph.D. Keeping Fit Column 715a A . There are hints, unfortunately only hints, in the scientific literature that diet may provide some protection against this devastating disease. Fats and Cholesterol omega-3 fatty acids may, according to some research, offer protection against mental decline in old age. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of fat essential for the development of the nervous system and are found in some fish, mainly salmon, halibut, swordfish, and tuna. Vitamin E. This antioxidant may slow mental decline by helping to prevent nerve cell damage caused by cell-destroying free radicals. A study published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine Good food sources of vitamin E are vegetable oils, whole grains, wheat germ, some nuts and seeds, green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, and avocados. Vitamin E supplements, if taken, should be used in moderation. Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid . Data from the Nuns Study, B12 is found in all foods of animal origin, and normally we get all of this vitamin we need from animal products in our diet. Still, a significant number of people over age 60 do not absorb enough B12 from the food they eat, because of age related changes in their digestive tracts. A way that often works is to take a multivitamin supplement that contains B12 or eat B12-fortified cereals. Folic acid is also widely distributed in our food. Good sources are liver and kidney, beats, celery, chickpeas, eggs, fish, green leafy vegetables, nuts, oranges, soybeans, whole wheat products, beets, peas, and tomatoes.

Caregivers Corner Alzheimer's Diet - beneficial foods and supplements by AlzheimerSupport Staff 04-21-2000 - Is there an Alzheimer's diet that is suggested for AD sufferers? There is strong evidence that the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is affected by diet. Recent findings displayed a higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in elderly African-Americans and Japanese living in the United States than those still living in their homelands. These findings lead scientists to hypothesize that diet is a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. To test this hypothesis, researcher William B. Grant analyzed data from 18 different studies involving populations of people 65+ years of age from 11 countries. This information was compared to components of the national diet of each country. The study found that high fat and high calorie diets have the highest correlation with Alzheimer's disease prevalence rates. Other high risk factors include alcohol, salt, and refined carbohydrates. In addition, it was found that fish consumption reduced the incidence of Alzheimer's disease in European and North American countries. Grant speculated that anti-inflammatory substances in fish oil delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

It's important for the person with Alzheimer's to be under the continual supervision of a qualified medical doctor in order to stay in the best overall health possible. Poor overall health is associated with greater symptoms of Alzheimer's, so maintaining healthy habits may reduce symptoms. Attention must be paid to proper exercise, diet and to any new or long-standing health problems. Hearing and vision should also be evaluated regularly and treated appropriately if faltering. Ongoing consultation with a primary care physician may be supplemented with visits to specialists or other health professionals as necessary to address specific needs. Co-existing medical conditions should be identified and properly managed, as they may negatively impact Alzheimer's behaviors. For example, frequent urinary tract infections may increase wandering, and depression disrupts sleep and deepens social withdrawal.

Caregiver Stress Dementia What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that makes it hard for a person to carry out normal daily activities. Symptoms of dementia include changes in memory, personality, and behavior. There are other conditions besides AD that can cause dementia. For example, small strokes or changes in the brain's blood supply can cause multi-infarct or vascular dementia. Some causes of dementia are reversible, such as drug reactions, dehydration , and thyroid problems. AD affects the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. It is a slow disease that starts with mild memory problems and leads to severe brain damage. People with AD lose their abilities at different rates. AD can last from 3 to 20 years or more after the onset of symptoms. It is not yet clear what causes AD and there is no known cure. An estimated 4 million people in the U.S. suffer from AD. The disease usually begins after age 60, and the risk of AD goes up with age. However, some cases of AD occur in younger people. About one in ten persons over 65 have AD, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease. But AD is not a normal part of aging.

Order Copies Online, Quantity: 50(limit) Forgetfulness: It's Not Always What You Think Many older people worry about becoming more forgetful. They think forgetfulness is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In the past, memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging. However, scientists now know that most people remain both alert and able as they age, although it may take them longer to remember things. A lot of people experience memory lapses. Some memory problems are serious, and others are not. People who have serious changes in their memory, personality, and behavior may suffer from a form of brain disease called dementia. Dementia seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is one of many types of dementia. The term dementia describes a group of symptoms that are caused by changes in brain function. Dementia symptoms may include asking the same questions repeatedly; becoming lost in familiar places; being unable to follow directions; getting disoriented about time, people, and places; and neglecting personal safety, hygiene, and nutrition. People with dementia lose their abilities at different rates. Dementia is caused by many conditions. Some conditions that cause dementia can be reversed, and others cannot. Further, many different medical conditions may cause symptoms that seem like Alzheimer's disease, but are not. Some of these medical conditions may be treatable. Reversible conditions can be caused by a high fever, dehydration, vitamin deficiency and poor nutrition, bad reactions to medicines, problems with the thyroid gland, or a minor head injury. Medical conditions like these can be serious and should be treated by a doctor as soon as possible.

Further help in preventing the disease may come from limiting the amount of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol in one’s diet. Alzheimer’s disease A progressive condition, Alzheimer’s disease damages areas of the brain involved in memory, intelligence, judgment, language and behavior. It is the most common form of mental decline in older adults and is usually diagnosed at age 70 or older. The disease affects not only memory, but behavior, personality, ability to think and the ability to function from day to day in four million Americans. Although its cause is still unknown, most experts believe multiple factors are involved. A family history of the disease can greatly increase one’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s, as well as smoking cigarettes, serious head injuries, elevated homocysteine levels and exposure to elevated levels of lead and/or zinc.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of senile dementia . The causes are not yet known, and up to now there is no effective treatment. Patients with Alzheimer's disease deteriorate very gradually, so the disease is often not detected in its early stages. Scientists are increasingly finding that it is a combination of many interrelated factors that seems to strongly influence a person's genetic predisposition to develop this devastating degenerative condition. The top two risk factors of the disease - age and genetics - are beyond people's control, yet decisive forces in the Alzheimer's epidemiology By the year 2001, over 4 million living Americans had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and, barring scientific progress, about 14 million will have it by the middle of this century. As the disease develops, two key structural changes are often observed in the brain: The build-up of plaque, consisting mostly of beta-amyloid peptides
