Memory and intellect disturbances are a minor memory impairment, expressed in the forgetting of certain relatively recent facts, such as events from an hour ago or the day before, and is a relatively common ailment in old age.
Should memory disorders arouse anxiety in us?
Memory and intellect disturbances do not arouse anxiety in the environment, even when the intensity of these disorders is slightly higher than in other people of the same age. It is commonly believed that memory impairment is a typical feature of old age, resulting from the inevitably developing atherosclerosis. Until recently, this problem was underestimated. Only the development of knowledge about Alzheimer’s disease made many people, including doctors, aware that memory and intellect problems in old age are also the result of pathological changes, and not just the simple aging process.
Where do memory problems come from?
The most common causes of memory and intellect disorders are degenerative and vascular diseases of the nervous system. Slightly severe degenerative process, not much different from normal aging, may cause the so-called age-related memory disturbance, also called mild senile amnesia or mild cognitive impairment.
Prevent problems with memory and concentration. Buy Rhodiola Rhodiola now and drink it prophylactically as an infusion. Harmony – a synergistic combination of YANGO adaptogens, also works to support memory and concentration. This preparation additionally improves mood and helps in the fight against stress.
If you want to reach for modern and less obvious solutions, try dietary supplements with CBD, incl. Hemp4Focus for memory and concentration or Hemp Power Shot, which you can buy in one of the three available flavors:
- green apple,
- strawberry,
- pineapple.
Memory and intellect disorders and dementia
Disorders of intellectual function caused by the disease, such as memory, orientation and thinking, may be slight and persistent at the same level, they may also be markedly severe and rapidly progressing. In the former case, these disorders are limited to memory only, while in the latter, memory disorders are usually accompanied by other, progressive disorders of intellectual functions. This causes clear problems in the social life of the sick. They cannot continue their current professional work or even function properly at home. This condition is called dementia (dementia). This term is often overused.
According to commonly accepted criteria, dementia is a decrease in the intellectual functions of a person in relation to their previous, premorbid level, which causes problems in the patient’s everyday life. This loss of intellectual function in dementia is not limited to memory. It has to be about at least one more function: orientation, thinking, or judgment.
If you want to strengthen concentration and improve the work of the brain, you can try dietary supplements with ingredients that have a direct impact on the functioning of the brain, eg Memory and concentration – Pharmovit drops extract. You can find them on Medonet Market. Guarana also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, memory and concentration. Use organic ground guarana in the amount of 1-2 teaspoons a day as an addition to your dishes. We also recommend regular use of Immortality – a mixture of herbs that positively affects not only the work of the brain, but also metabolism.
Dementia – diagnosis
The diagnosis of dementia should be documented with a careful history and at least one brief test to assess intellectual performance. It is desirable to conduct a complete neuropsychological examination using standard, albeit very time-consuming, tests.
The most common type of dementia of degenerative origin is Alzheimer’s disease. Much less common are other diseases such as Pick’s disease or frontal dementia. The most common “vascular” cause of dementia is multiple, minor cerebral infarctions (multi-infarct dementia). Since some parts of the brain, such as the inner part of the temporal lobe, are especially important for memory function, damage to them in a single brain infarction can also cause dementia.
The treatment of dementia prevention is multidirectional – it concerns vitamin supplementation, proper diet, physical activity, effective treatment of systemic diseases (diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension), and cognitive training.
Kombucha, which is a component of Green Balance Bio Yogi Tea, works to support memory and concentration. You can also use Intenson Siberian ginseng – add its root to dishes or use it to prepare an infusion. You can buy both products on Medonet Market at attractive prices. We also recommend a set of supplements every day – Panaseus, which includes 3 preparations: Memory without limits, My immunity and Collagen complex.
