Deterioration of memory and how to do the elderly
“The recent deterioration of my memory, and will not be a sign of dementia?” The elderly to doctors often make such problems.
In fact, they are just forgetful, not dementia. As to not develop into dementia, Gong Tao said, sleep is not good, older, poor memory, is very normal thing, do not have to bear in mind. However, if there are usually forgotten the law of things, such as the medicine every day to eat forget to eat, we must be careful, and there may be a prelude to dementia.
How to prevent memory decline?
Gong Tao said that, in addition to the active treatment of cerebral arteriosclerosis and other basic diseases, first of all to ensure adequate sleep. Because people’s memory and the body related to the level of acetylcholine, acetylcholine will not only cause a lack of memory decline, mental retardation, can lead to serious dementia. Dementia brain acetylcholine level is very low, treatment is also the level of acetylcholine by enhancing drugs. Consumption of acetylcholine during the day, night sleep, the body metabolism by complement. If long-term lack of sleep, acetylcholine does not add up, memory will decline.
Second, it can enhance the body by dietary levels of acetylcholine. We usually eat eggs, fish, milk, walnuts, peanuts, soybeans, contain a lot of choline, can be transformed into a biological activity of acetylcholine. Such as eggs, egg yolk lecithin is broken down, you can produce a wealth of acetylcholine, thereby enhancing memory. Eat one or two eggs a day, the basic thought that the body can get enough choline in.
British scientists also found that drinking tea can help prevent memory loss and dementia in the elderly. Because with age, the growth of brain acetylcholine would be constantly undermined, while the tea can slow the process. Gong Tao suggested that memory decline in the elderly is best to drink 56 cups a day a touch of green tea.
