The Beginning of your Alzheimer

Alzheimer's disease is deterioration in memory and thinking power due to the death of nerve cells rapidly. The disease more commonly known as senility is often detected too late resulting in paralysis of mind and social abilities of the patient.

Researchers from the United States recently claimed reduced the ability of sense of smell as a signal early Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's sufferers are experiencing interference with the sense of smell. However, the researchers found a direct relationship between the formation of amyloid plaque, dirt in the brain that causes Alzheimer's, and reduced ability to sense of smell.

This is proven through a study of rats. The experts found a plaque or feces was first formed in the rat brain that serves to smell. When tested, mice that have a plaque takes more time in sniffing the smell before the recall.

In addition to decreased sense of smell function, Alzheimer's symptoms vary, among other things memory decline (eg, forgetting names and forgot where to put things), changes in mood and behavior, it is difficult to find the right word for an object or situation, and often target (disorientation) .

At a more advanced stage, Alzheimer's sufferers do not remember anything else about yourself, your family, and environment and no longer able to communicate well enough to need care and assistance of others.

The risk of Alzheimer's are the elderly (over 60 years), have a family history of Alzheimer's affected, patients with stroke, heart disorders, diabetes, as well as head injury or brain.
