Home remedies for Alzheimer's disease can significantly slow the progression of this
devastating illness while offering a person better physical health and self-confidence.
Approximately 5,000,000 adults currently suffer from the ravishing affects of this
disease. Alzheimer's is the most frequently occurring type of dementia and commonly
attacks individuals who over 65 years old. A range of lifestyle and health choices do
trigger earlier attacks of this illness, which is then classified as early-onset Alzheimer’s
disease as it does strike individuals of middle age.
Definition

Defined by a marked decline in normal cognitive functioning, which includes decreased
memory capacity and a loss of the ability to concentrate, an individual stricken with
Alzheimer’s disease routinely experiences difficulties performing simple daily tasks such
as dressing or preparing a simple meal. An Alzheimer’s victim can also experience
obvious language impediments and noticeable changes in behavior.
Causes

The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease has yet to be completely identified or understood.
However, studies strongly suggest that a collection of particular proteins stored between
and within the nerve cells of the brain, interrupts the flow of communication necessary
between the brain's nerves, which produces the affects of Alzheimer’s disease.

and present in certain foods, and Alzheimer's disease.
