Early Onset Alzheimer’s Symptoms

memory word puzzles If you start to see Alzheimer’s symptoms in your loved ones, here are some tips to reduce or slow that memory loss. Working, living, or relating to someone with short-term memory loss due to dementia can be particularly challenging. Even the most intelligent people can become crippled by short-term memory loss, often forgetting what time, day, or season it is. Not only is this challenging for those with Alzheimer’s, it can also be hard for those around them, such as caregivers or loved ones. Probably the hardest part of short-term memory loss is that, like dementia and Alzheimer’s, its onset is slow and perpetual, slowly robbing your ability to remember things like directions to a favorite restaurant or whether the stove is on or off.

There are a few things that can help slow down memory loss. One of the most important is to live a healthy, active lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet and getting proper nutrients (especially B12) goes a long way towards preserving memory. Performing mental exercises, like crossword puzzles or other games, can also help with retention and mental sharpness.

Memory loss frequently comes with forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s – and it can be life-threatening, depending on the circumstances. It should be noted that memory loss in itself is not always a symptom of dementia or Alzheimer’s. Many other factors, such as drug or alcohol abuse or head trauma from an accident or injury, can be to blame for short-term memory loss.

When a loved one’s memory has significantly deteriorated, you may look to have someone come and provide home care services to ensure the comfort and safety of a loved one afflicted with memory loss. This can include the administration of vital medications, preparing healthy meals, and simply keeping someone company.
