Alzheimer’s Disease and how to prevent it with Curcumin

September 29, 2016 By Corey B

Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that begins slowly and gets worse with time. It is the cause of up 60% to 70% cases of dementia. The most common symptom associated with Alzheimer is short term memory loss, that’s why it is referred as diabetes of the brain. As the disease becomes more intense with time, other symptoms such as mood swings, language problems, loss of motivation, behavioral issues, not managing self care and disorientation is experienced.

Slowly, the body functionality is lost, which would ultimately result to death. Although the speed of the progression may vary, the average life expectancy of a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s is 3 to 9 years. Subtle problems with executive functions of attentiveness, abstract thinking and planning flexibility or impairment in the semantic memory can be a sign of the early stages of the Alzheimer’s disease.

Individuals with memory loss or other possible signs of Alzheimer find it hard to recognize this problem. Therefore anyone experiencing dementia like symptoms should seek medical attention in the shortest time possible. The preclinical stage of this disease is known as mild cognitive impairment. This is found to be a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia.

 

Early Stage of Alzheimer

In this stage the increased impairment of learning results to definitive diagnosis. Difficulties with language, movement execution and difficulties with language are prominent in a small percentage than memory problems. In this stage, the person with Alzheimer’s is capable of communicating basic ideas while executing fine motor tasks and planning difficulties but they are unnoticed.

 

Moderate Stage

Continued deterioration prevents independence, with the person not capable of performing most common daily activities. Speech problems are evident due to inability to recall vocabularies. Reading and writing is also progressively lost.

 

Advanced stage

During final stage, the patient completely depends upon the caregivers. Language is reduced to single words leading to loss of speech. Despite loss of verbal language abilities, people can understand and respond to emotional signals, although the person is aggressive.

 

How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease with Curcumin

Although curcumin has never been tested in a random clinical trial for dementia prevention, two observation studies from India have suggested that individuals who consume curcumin are less likely to develop dementia.

The prevention association from the two observation studies is seconded by another study of healthy elderly Asian adults which reported that those who consume more curcumin perform better on a standard test of knowledge function. More clinical experiments are ongoing to test more bioavailability forms of curcumin in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
