One of the most dangerous disorders in the work of the nervous system is Alzheimer's, which is manifested by numerous neurological and psychological abnormalities - memory, speech, logical thinking.
A person loses the ability to intellectual activity and life skills in society. The disease develops after 65 years, both in women and men.
When a disease occurs in the brain, the protein accumulates, which form the so-called "synovial plaques", and neurofibrillary tangles, which consist of damaged neurons. As a result, the neural pathways of the brain are destroyed and memory loss occurs.

Know the enemy in person
Alzheimer's disease develops in several stages, the initial symptoms from which everything begins:
- memory loss;
- diffuse;
- worry;
- depression;
- sudden change of mood;
- did not have the ability to navigate in time and space.
At the initial stage of the syndrome development there are memory impairments that are invisible to the patient and others. Over time, the number of memories begins to decrease. At the patient there is a panic, confusion, nedoumie, anger.
The development of the disease leads to the loss of knowledge, experience, skills. Man can not navigate in time, space and terrain, the habitual mode of the day is disturbed.
Then the patient ceases to recognize relatives and friends, speech, reading, writing, computation is broken, auditory and visual visions occur. A person is not able to move independently and follow himself as he does not remember what to do.
Knowing the reasons is the first step towards a clear mind.
The numerous causes of the death of brain cells and complete loss of memory, and in most cases the development of Alzheimer's disease, are affected:
- Age .The risk of the disease increases in people older than 65 years.
- Heredity .There is a high probability of inheriting the disease from relatives.
- Down Syndrome .With this disease in the brain is a significant amount of protein, which is able to accumulate and create "silyl plaques."
- Craniocerebral trauma .Trauma to the head can cause the death of brain cells.
- Cognitive Disorders .With such failures, the risk of developing the syndrome increases.
- Cardiovascular diseases : unstable blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, overweight, heart attack.
- Food with high concentration of chemicals and nitrates .Chemicals that enter the body with food can influence the process of death of brain cells. Diseases of the thyroid gland .
- Consequences of exposure to radiation and electromagnetic waves on the body .
How to prevent Alzheimer's disease
To prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease, you can follow certain recommendations and rules.
Brain training
Active brain activity contributes to the strengthening of communication between neurons. Regardless of age, 
is recommended to conduct active physical and mental activity as a preventive measure, and acquire a hobby.
Brain training will help such activities:
- reading literature: books, press;
- letter;
- reading poems by heart;
- intellectual games: chess, monopoly, tennis, golf;
- learning foreign languages;
- playing a musical instrument or learning a game;
- swimming;
- planning of events, home holidays, working week;
- attend training courses, seminars, classes;
- group sport;
- solving crosswords, sudoku, rebuses, puzzles;
- travel, participation in hikes with orientation on the ground, quests.
Healthy lifestyle
An effective means of preventing Alzheimer's disease is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The main rules of healthy lifestyle are:
- refusal from smoking, narcotic substances;
- moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages;
- proper nutrition;
- use at least 1.5 liters of clean water a day;
- sports: running, cycling, walking, fitness, yoga, dancing;
- walking in the fresh air;
- hardening;
- healthy sleep;
- to avoid stressful situations, overwork, nervous tension;
- correctly combine work and rest.
We are what we eat
Refusal from harmful food, the use of a large number of vegetables and fruits contributes to the saturation of the body with useful substances, trace elements and vitamins. As a result, immunity is strengthened, the risk of cardiovascular diseases decreases: blood vessels strengthen, their elasticity improves, and the level of harmful cholesterol decreases.
The daily diet should include berries. They are the main source of anthocyanoside, which prevents negative effects on the brain of negative factors and thus protects it from destruction. They also contain vitamins and microelements.
Avoiding the development of Alzheimer's disease will help foods with a high content of omega-3 fatty acids. These include seafood, fish oil, walnuts, vegetable oils, avocados.
Group B vitamins help reduce conduction in the nerve endings, improve brain nutrition with oxygen. They are found in cereals, rye bread, dried fruits, legumes, yeast, nuts, liver, beef, dairy products, eggs.
Honey, spinach, celery, corn, grapes, turmeric possess antioxidant properties. For the renewal of nerve cells, amino acids are needed. They are found in greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, milk.
Lecithin and choline can activate brain activity. To do this, you need to eat eggs, peanuts, whole grains, wheat germ, offal.
To prevent Alzheimer's disease, neurologists recommend drinking freshly prepared juices, green tea, clear water.
Physical activity
Strengthening the immune system and activating the brain activity will help with sports: running, walking, gymnastics, driving on the 
bike, fitness, dancing, aerobics, yoga, swimming. Training should be regular and moderate regardless of the sport.
Physical activity strengthens the cardiovascular system, as a result, the brain becomes saturated with oxygen, the body weight stabilizes, and endurance is developed.
The level of harmful cholesterol is also reduced, the walls of blood vessels are strengthened, they become more elastic, blood pressure is normalized, and the sensitivity of tissues to insulin increases.
Psychotherapeutic classes
Psychotherapy classes help to neutralize the symptoms of the disease at the initial stages of development. Classes consist of training memory, concentration of attention, the ability to plan, solve logical problems, find different ways out of the situation.
When a patient develops a disease, they focus on the ability to find a solution to the problem in the absence of certain knowledge. Group classes help the patient adapt to the society and get emotional support.
It is necessary to regularly monitor the health status: do routine examinations, vaccinations, treat chronic diseases and viral infections, and have a regular sex life using contraceptives.
Compliance with these recommendations helps to strengthen the immune system, normalize blood pressure, reduce the risk of obesity, saturate the body with oxygen.
Summing up
Alzheimer's disease is a dangerous disease of the nervous system, which leads to a complete loss of memory and inability to exist in modern society.
The development of the disease occurs in several stages. The main causes are diseases of the heart, malnutrition, abuse of bad habits, heredity, low immunity.
The main preventive measures for the disease are: active brain activity, proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, exercise.
When the first symptoms of Alzheimer's syndrome appear, it is necessary to consult a specialist who determines the level of development and prescribes appropriate treatment, will make a diet, will provide psychological support.
