Those of you who are listening to this show many of you a very busy people

You live a busy life

You have lots of responsibilities engage

Responsibilities engage in a wide range of activities every day and interact with different people

It is a stressful yet very full life

But just imagine if one day these all change

You start to forget things

Forget where everything is forget

How to do the most familiar tasks even forget people including those who are durist to you

You will start to feel like your stuck in an infinite puzzle

That you just can't figure out life

As you know it seems to be slowly slipping away

Too many this might sound like a terrifying nightmare

But it is the reality for a lot of people

Especially olter people

And it might even include some of our loved ones

So in today's episode

I would like to talk to you about alzheimer's disease

今天的酒馆里

露露就想和你聊聊alzheimer's disease

阿尔兹海默症

I'm sure

Some of you have heard of this work

But what exactly is alzheimer's disease in one thousand hundred old six doctalzhhmermer noticed changes in the braint tisue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness

Later on disnewly discovered serious illness became known as alzhhmermer's disease

阿尔兹海默症在二十世纪初因为首次发现他的医生而得名

Alzheimer's disease or alzhheimer's is a progressive form of dementia

Dementia is a broader term for conditions caused by brain injuries or diseases that negatively affect memory

Thinking and behavior

Dementia 就是痴呆症

而alzheimerers 正是dementia 的一种

Alzheimer's disease can cause many changes and severely interfere with daily life as the disease advances symptoms can include problems with language disorientation including easily getting lost mood

Swings

Loss of motivation not managing self care and behavioral issues as a person's condition declines

They often withdraw from family and society

Gradually body ily functions are lost ultimately leading to death

阿尔兹海默症是一种进行性发展的神经系统退行性疾病

According to the alzheimer's association

This disease accounts for sixty to eighty percent of dementia cases

他占到痴呆症的百分之六十到八十

Most people with the disease get a diagnosis after age sixty five

If it's diagnosed before

Then it's generally referred to as early onset alzheimer's disease

虽然阿尔兹海默的主要发病人群是六十五岁以上的老人

但是也可能出现early onset alzheimer's disease 早发性阿尔兹海默症

If you have watched movie still alice or a japanese tv show called 大恋爱和忘了我的你

Both main characters are suffering from early onset alzhheimer's disease

Even though many people have heard of the name

They might not know a lot of the relevant facts

First of all alzheimer's disease is a chronic ongoing condition

So the symptoms will show up gradually and effects on the brain are degenerative meaning

They cost slow decline

There's no cure for alzhheimer's

But treatment can help slow the progression of the disease

And may improve quality of life

Anyone can get alzheimer's disease

But certain people are at higher risk

This includes people over age sixty five and those with family history of the condition

And very importantly there's no single expected outcome for people with alzheimer's

阿尔兹海默症的发病过程因人而异

Some people live a long time with mild cognitive damage

While others experience a more rapid onset of symptoms and quicker disease progression

When our loved ones get older

When they start to forget things

And show some of the symptoms

Some of us probably will think it's just a normal part of aging

And we will ignore all the symptoms

So here let's look at some of the early signs and symptoms of alzhheimerers

So maybe this can help us get better informed about the disease and perhaps notice some of the signns

The first sign of alzheimerers is memory loss

That disruts daily life

This include forgetting recently learned information like important dates or events

Or they would ask the same question over and over again

Sign number two difficulty completing familiar tasks

They will start to have trouble driving to familiar locations or even writing down a grocery list

Sign number three

Confusion was time more place people suffering from alzheimerers start to lose track updates

Seasons and passage of time

They often forget where they are

And how they got there another sign is they will start to have new problems with words in speaking or writing

Having trouble following a conversation or they would stop in the middle of a conversation

They might even have trouble naming a familiar object or used a wrong name for example

They might call a watch hand clock sign number of five

They would miss place things

Put things in unusual places

When they lose things

They're not able to go back over their steps to find them

They might also show decreased or poor judgment

They would show poor judgment in dealing with money

Or they would pay less attention to glooming or keeping themselves clean

平时的个人护理自理能力也会下降

They will also withdraw from work or social activities

And spend more time on their own

Or show changes in mood and personality for example

A lot of alzheimer's patients will be confused

Depressed

Suspicious or anxious well for most of us

Who live our busy life every day

The topic of alzheimerers seem to be quite far away

But in fact

Right now in china

They're currently over six million people suffering from alzheimermer's disease

So it's actually much closer to us

Than you might think so if you do have loved ones or people

You know who are suffering from this disease

How do we offer our help or here are a few tips according to experts to help people with alzheimerers

Especially if they are your loved ones

The first thing you do is to educate yourself to learn all the necessary information

And then to assess safety risks in the home

Try to reduce anything that might cause them harm at the same time

Helping them form routines

They can follow and fostering their independence can be quite essential

帮助阿尔兹海默症患者建立一些每天的routine 来鼓励他们一定程度上的自理

And also allow their emotional responses

Because they can feel really helpless and confused

But on top of all this

It's important to prioritize self care

Taking care of a loved one

Whose struggling with alzheimer's disease can be really difficult and exhausting

So if you're in that situation

It's very important that you take care of yourself as well

And for those of us

Who a't still young

There are certain things you can do

Right now to reduce the risk of alzheimer's in later years

其实在生活中形成一些习惯

也可以帮助降低在老年患阿尔兹海默症的几率

For example

Do regular exercise have a brain healthy diet

This would mean try to eat less red meat

Butter

Cheese

Sweet or fright food instead eat fish

Kier and flax seats

Which are rich sources of omega three

多吃对脑部健康有好处的食物

比如说富omega three 的鱼类

奇亚籽和亚麻籽

Get rid of bad habits like smoking or heavy drinking

Drink tea especially green tea or woolong tea and in spspare time len new new skills

For example

Learning foreign languages will keep your brain active and of course doing brain puzzles

Playing brain games

Does help as well

No matter

If it's forward patient themselves or for people or families

Alzheimer's disease can have a devastating impact on people's lives

The thing is the person

Who has alzheimerers knows that pieces of the puzzle are missing and they are terrified

I was remember in the movie still alice

在电影still alice 里

不幸罹患早发性阿尔兹海默症的alice 对自己的丈夫说

I miss myself

而对于很多患者的家属来说

阿尔兹海默症就好像是一场让人心痛的漫长的告别

But although your loved one may not remember you or might do things that frustraate you

This is the time

When he or she needs you the most

When i was looking at quotes about alzheimerers

I found one that says there's one thing

Alzhheimer's cannot take away

And that is love

Love is not a memory

It's a feeling

That resides in your heart and soul and hopefully

Today's program can reach some of you

And for others

This can be the first step

We take to become aware of the disease

And to to stay informed if you have any thoughts and experiences

That you think might help others don't hesitate to share in the comment section

I'll see you next time

Bye
