“So the word is easy to forget. may not lead to Alzheimer’s disease.” Assoc.Prof.Dr. Solapat Hemranrot Assistant Dean for Educational Innovation and Information Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University and a physician at the Brain Training Center Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, told in the people’s activities about “Why is it so easy to forget when we are old?”

Alzheimer’s is a degeneration caused by a protein called beta-amyloid (beta-amyloid) insoluble which, when attached to brain cells, will result in degeneration and atrophy of brain cells Damages communication between brain cells from a decrease in acetylcholine. (acetylcholine), a neurotransmitter that directly affects memory.

Nowadays, the elderly in Thailand are increasing by leaps and bounds. And society is not prepared to support these issues.

In the next 20 years, Dr. Soraphat thinks that the burden of caring for people with dementia requires a lot of care and a lot of money. This has a lot of problems.

“Alzheimer’s isn’t scary if someone takes care of it, but who knows if we’ll have someone to take care of it? therefore have to prepare prepare to protect But it’s not that doing that and not Alzheimer’s.

what has been done best done first If you think you have symptoms and then change yourself, it’s too late, like someone who comes to exercise when they know that the coronary artery can’t get in time, and so does the brain.

Alzheimer’s disease Maybe it’s like diabetes different severity Some people take good care of themselves, don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t stress. From the age of 40, Alzheimer’s at age 60 doesn’t know what genetics or problem. Some people can take care of themselves, stretching their dementia to age 80-90. We don’t know which group we belong to.”

In another case, if you are old and have depression due to chemicals in the brain will cause brain atrophy faster The risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease, the doctor said, are stress, depression, and sleep cycle disorders. What we cannot keep is memory.

Factors that can and cannot be avoided

The inevitable risk factors are old age, genetics and family history. adjustable risk factors Is a disease related to the heart and blood vessels, blood pressure, lipids, diabetes, Dr. Solapat said to take good care If the blood vessels to the brain are reduced The hippocampus (medial temporal lobe of the brain) can die, inducing Alzheimer’s.

There is also a matter of exposure to toxins from the environment. head concussion from an accident and chronic kidney and liver problems

“Some people have Alzheimer’s because of heredity. And being sick with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity can stimulate Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s drug Just slow down the dementia for a year or two. Some people take the pills and they don’t work. Upcoming Alzheimer’s Drugs Probably three million per course Can only treat people with mild symptoms also have side effects So it’s still not an option.”

Dr. Soraphat said that the inherited genes affect Alzheimer’s. But I don’t know what percentage of the impact. So what helps is How to eat, live and use your brain If you can train your brain, you should.

“There are Swedish researchers doing this study for 20-30 years. What factors prevent Alzheimer’s? When you are young, study a lot. But what I’m learning is art, music, and sports to build a network of brain fibers. or working with complex ideas Will make the brain healthy. Age 60 must get enough sleep. Sleep well. Sleep well. There is no number indicating the hours of sleep. to sleep refreshed

There are many studies proving that Joining various interaction groups Can prevent dementia Reduce symptoms and slow down the deterioration. and is believed to stimulate the learning of the brain Add functionality in every section.

“The happiness that comes from interactions Increase good chemicals in the brain. There is a nun who has a sibling with Alzheimer’s. The nuns never sit still and think all the time doing giving activities. So there is joy, good for the brain or activities that slow the degeneration of the brain. Brush your side teeth with your non-dominant hand, go camping, eat salmon, mackerel, drink black coffee, eat vegetables and fruits, be careful of pesticides. Happy every day. People of many ages. Exercise is still important. It can help.

If any house has Alzheimer’s patients who can’t eat in their mouths, mess up, dress late, don’t be arrogant, we don’t know if one day we will be like that or not.

As an Alzheimer’s doctor, I would like to say that Alzheimer’s is not a terrible disease. It is a preventable disease if it occurs in the family. We can be with the people we love and be happy.
