New Delhi, 21 September (IANS). Every year on 21 September, ‘World Alzheimer’s Day’ is celebrated all over the world. The purpose of this day is to make people aware of Alzheimer’s and related diseases. Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects a human’s thinking, memory and everyday tasks.
Many scientific research has proved that poor lifestyle affects our mental health, which invites serious illness like Alzheimer’s.
Diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, which used to be earlier after the age of 60-70, are now visible at the age of 30-40. All diseases are not only harming the heart or body, but also have a serious effect on the brain.
If the sugar is not under control for a long time in diabetes, then the right amount of energy does not reach the brain. Brain cells begin to dull and human beings have trouble remembering things. Some scientists have called it up to type-3 diabetes, because it damages the brain from inside just like diabetes.
Due to this, the functioning of insulin in the brain can deteriorate, which gradually starts decreasing.
High blood pressure is considered to be heart -related disease, but its effect is also deep on the brain. When the blood pressure in the body continues to increase, there is pressure on the veins of the brain. Due to this, the blood does not flow properly to the brain. When the brain does not get the right nutrition and oxygen, its functionality starts decreasing.
In such a situation, the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia increases, especially when this condition persists for a long time.
People who are thicker, especially those whose fat accumulates more around the stomach, remains a kind of swelling in their body, which is called chronic inflammation. This inflammation gradually damages the veins of the brain.
Obesity leads to hormonal changes in the body, which can weaken the functioning of the brain. This process is slow, but by the time its symptoms start to appear, it is too late.
