"Many people dont realize that #Alzheimers disease will ultimately cause a persons death if they live out the course of the disease process. I know youre saying How does a person die from memory loss While this is a very valid question its important to know that Alzheimers is much more than memory loss. The disease itself causes dementia symptoms which includes memory loss. Alzheimers disease will ultimately attack the persons heart rate and breathing. But typically the person passes away from other medical complications associated with brain damage and cognitive loss such as upper respiratory"

"Did you know your diet could be increasing your #dementia risk Recent studies support that pro-inflammatory foods like ultra processed meats (corned beef hash) and sugar affect cognitive functioning that could lead to dementia. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods in your diet could help reduce your dementia risk significantly. Consider meal planning that aligns with the #MIND diet or the #Mediterranean diet for you the #caregiver and your loved one. If this resonates with you please comment below.

"Doctors prescribe #Alzheimers medications to treat the symptoms not the cause. These symptoms may include memory loss confusion forgetting words forgetting how to perform familiar tasks lack of judgement and emotional imbalance.

"Is your loved one showing signs of #memory changes 🫣 Its natural to immediately fear the worst but as a Gerontologist I want you to know it might not be #dementia at all. Lets talk about #MCI (mild cognitive impairment). MCI often gets mistaken for early stages of dementia but theres a crucial difference: MCI symptoms can often be improved and sometimes even reversed 🙌🏽 Progressive types of dementia like #Alzheimers disease is progressive and irreversible. MCI on the other hand is a wake-up call not a terminal disconnection. For many people memory and cognitive function can improve"

"You can reduce your #dementia risk if you just keep on learning 📖. Not rocket science 🧫. The more you know the larger your brain grows basically.

MCI on the other hand is a wake-up call not a terminal disconnection. For many people memory and cognitive function can improve"
