On the air of the program “On the most important”, Alexander Myasnikov talked about what diseases lead to brain destruction.
“If you look at it, it doesn’t look like a computer at all. We still do not know the millionth share of him. We are still making discoveries. This is the finest tool, the depths of which we do not understand. And the way we live, and we often live wrong, affects it negatively, ”Myasnikov explained.
And the wrong lifestyle leads to a change and problems with blood vessels, which sooner or later can cause dementia.
One of the main causes of senile problems with cognitive functions is hypertension. “40% of the adult population is hypertension. Half of the people who have increased pressure do not know about this. Half of those who know are not treated. But of those who remained and treated, half is treated incorrectly. And then they wonder where the senile dementia is where, ”the doctor warned.
If the pressure is constantly high, it eats the brain, the doctor said. After all, blood circulation suffers, and the brain does not receive food.
People with obesity are also at risk. And in the elderly it is worth paying special attention to a number of vitamins. So, if they have a deficiency of vitamin B12, they risk encountering problems. And in people aged this vitamin is often poorly absorbed. Another problem is thyroid disorders. And if the elderly began to have problems with memory, it is necessary to check it for these two states. The plus is that these problems can be adjusted.
A sedentary lifestyle can also negatively affect the condition of the brain. “Someday it will be necessary to answer for everything sweet that they ate, for everything that they did, for everything that they raped on the couch,” the Myasnikov warned.
The causes of problems with the brain can become banal things – hypertension, increased sugar and cholesterol, malnutrition and obesity,
