What Is Dementia?

I have been having wild thoughts which type of old age sickness and disease I would choose if given the chance to determine the way my own death should take place. Like many, I would want to die peacefully and painlessly during my sleep after having visited all the countries in my Bucket List. Ultimately, one's karma would determine his own fate until his last breaths.

As promised, I would share some information from the talk conducted by a university's 

professor about the Dementia which is a type of brain disease. My father suffered from

that disease for some 9 years and our whole family was in pain to watch him fade

away helplessly. My heart still aches sadly today as I prepared this blog post.

 The talk was held under a special canopy tent inside a housing suburbs

of Petaling Jaya. Many senior citizens turned up to hear the talk & almost everyone

had a friend or family member who is suffering from various brain diseases.

I took photos of all the projected blurry slides but I would only share a few

for the awareness sake only.

 Dementia was reported to have several types which includes Alzheimer's, 

Parkinson's and others.

 I have drawn up the above simple chart to show the difference at a glance.

- Alzheimer patients would often show mental deterioration and senility.

- Parkinson patients would often show their nervous system affecting their

general movement and mobility.

- Dementia is sadly a terrible disease that is a collective of BOTH the

Alzheimer & Parkinsons and many other unidentified brain diseases!

 The above world map shows that China has the HIGHEST number 

of Dementia patients today. The other small parts of SE Asia also have

the alarming ratio numbers when compared to USA or Europe and others!
Something is not right with the population around the SE Asian region.

This made everyone gasped and wondered what is the real cause?

Is it our food, diet, water, environment or hereditary diseases?

When the doctors conducted brain scans, they could easily detect the 

difference between the brain of a normal patient and an Alzheimer's patient. 

There are presence of Amyloidosis inside the Azheimer patient's brains.

( see the chart above)

This was the shocking revelation about the High Dangers of Aluminium usage 

in our daily lifestyle habits. The professor explained about the excessive use of

Aluminium baking foils which could easily contaminate our food. It is so thin, very light

and easily disperses the harmful aluminium substances out.

Now that got me paranoid to think of the Coke Tins and 100 Plus tin cans too.

I have switched to plastic bottles instead. Many websites have shared about

the dangers of aluminium usage. Check HERE

Say "NO" to the foils!

While there is no cure for such brain diseases yet, they advised 

on its prevention possibilities such as doing brain exercises and taking

daily supplements like Gingko Biloba and Virgin Coconut Oil.
