Active Mind Delays Alzheimer's
There is new animal research that has found that learning slows down the build-up of protein plaques and tangles in the brain that are related to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). While the study was done with mice, it does suggest that having an active mind may delay or even prevent AD.
This is another piece of research that supports the need for RTs to provide opportunities for clients in long-term care to maintain active minds and to keep learning. It seems clear that older people can learn and that such learning can be good for them in many ways, including delaying or preventing AD.

This is a nice post about Alzheimer's. There are so many treatment method are available which is used to treat Alzheimer's disease. But all the treatment method is not effective. The stem cell Alzheimer's treatment is the most effective treatment for this disease. This treatment can improve the memory condition.
I have decided to make this post or testimony public. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s ten years ago. I loved my husband very much, and it was heartbreaking to have him develop Alzheimer's disease, and to stand by and watch him decline in his ability to take care of himself, struggling with day-to-day tasks. It takes away his memory and eventually the ability to do basic tasks. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect the person who is diagnosed — it also turns your world as caregiver, upside down if your loved one is grappling with the condition. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical medicine, no magic pill that have any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease. Not until we use an Herbal Medicine called BRONGEE that put an end to it. He has been well and living his best life. While there may be other different option to into. Never make your own success path a secret. There should be no shame. Contact Dr Rohan with dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com, It may also help you too
