Studies in the field of aging of the brain show that the worsening of memory and intellectual possibilities in the middle of life can not be considered normal. And yet it happens almost with each. For many of them «First bells» ring up to 40.
The border zone begins to change from unwillingness. I found a person one way to relate to life and adheres to his struggle. He becomes rigid, inflexible. Not only is it standing to death at its point of view, but also those surrounding makes the same. At the same time, intolerance increases to those who dared to show dissent and the nostalgia is developing on the departed, even if it was poor. «So did before and everything was fine and now».
Word «Marasmos» In ancient Greek meant «Exhaustion, fading». Elder dementia arises due to the atrophy of the brain vessels and is accompanied by a gradual decay of mental activity with loss of individual identity features. Maramus develops imperceptibly, more precisely, nor fussing «Mind lamp», Neither the people around him do not give a report in gradual identity changes.
Such signs are manifested «worsening character», Like quarrence, weldability, mallance, the pattern of views and statements, a narrowing of interests. Gradually increases memory disorder. Then the delusional ideas propagating mainly on the nearest relatives and neighbors, visual deception begins.
All these features in the process of normal aging are manifested almost every. The whole question is to what extent. One and in a hundred years saves a clear mind, and the other is already thirty - the old maratmic.
If we are talking about the people of working age, then when the first signs appear «Ugasania» Psychologists advise everything to change: place of residence, resting place, food, work, even family. Rutin adversely affects the psyche.
Stress, no doubt, one of the main factors affecting the work of the brain. Even short-term stress - such as a hurry, is able to embroider the most important things from the head. Massive and prolonged stress is able to seriously disrupt the brain. It increases the level of cortisol - the hormone of stress, which damages the hippocampus, the brain department responsible for learning and memory.
Another risk factor - alcoholism. Violation of memory in drunkards was described at the end of the XIX century by the famous Russian psychiatrist Sergey Korsakov. The patient, being even in a sober state, forgets what happened literally a minute ago. In this case, the intellect is relatively saved. Modern French studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption improves brain functions in older women (but not men).
I wonder what «Corsakov syndrome» Very common in countries where strong spirits traditionally use. In the same place, where light wines prefer, the dementia is rarely found. Moreover, moderately drinking is much less susceptible to vascular diseases than sober.
Memory loss may occur after any strong intoxication, even after a viral disease, for example herpes. Sometimes his virus penetrates the central nervous system and affects the brain. A person thinks that he has influenza, drinking antipyretic, then loses his memory, it is often impossible to return it. Memory worsen: antidepressants, barbiturate tranquilizers, antihistamines, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers.
Melotic can cause even so common and, it would seem a harmless habit like snoring. Stop respiration associated with snoring can lead to significant memory loss and even decrease in mental abilities. Fortunately, snore is easy to treat, which cannot be said about the most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer's disease. Some scientists believe that the best prevention «Alzheimer» - Saturated Intellectual and Social Life. Practice shows that people with low spiritual and intelligent requests suffer from this disease much more often.
In people who live intense intellectual life, the likelihood of getting loosely less. After all, they are involved all the structures of the brain, there is a training and therefore atrophy is practically not evolving. This is especially true of professional activities. After all, even with Alzheimer's disease, professional memory and professional intelligence are preserved longer than. Therefore, no matter how you wanted to fall on the sofa, bug into the TV and spend so the next few years, try to shake it up, find food for mind and at least artificially maintain interest in life.
But intellectual classes is not all. All types of physical activity increase the amount of substance necessary for the production of neurotransmitters - chemicals in the brain «agents», providing normal brain functioning. The most famous of them are: serotonin (produces a feeling of well-being), Norpinephrine (maintains the state of the collence) and endorphin (removes pain, relieves the alarm state, gives a feeling of pleasure).
Physical activity is necessary for the formation of dendrites - processes with which nerve cells «communicate» between themselves. Another merit of exercise is that they improve blood circulation. Due to this, oxygen and nutrients are faster and better delivered to all organs, including in the brain. This is especially important because the brain needs an intense oxygen inflow for optimal work. After all, it uses more oxygen than any other organ.
Nature itself has provided a significantly higher level of antioxidants for the brain. Thus, the content of vitamin C - the most famous of vitamins - in the brain, is average 10 times higher than in other parts of the body. That is, it is not distributed evenly, but comes in the largest quantities on the most responsible section. Impressive results and reception of vitamin E gives. Some studies argue that the lack of vitamin C can lead to dementia.
