Can treat Alzheimer's disease without medication

Nearly 30 million people around the world are diagnosed with the disease, resulting in complete memory loss and death in the elderly.

There are currently no drugs that can treat this disease and help with the thinking problems it causes. However, a new study shows that no need for medication can also help improve cognitive skills in some people with this disease.

About 25% of the world's population is born with a copy of a gene called APOE4. People with this type of gene are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

About 2-3% of the population carries in them 2 copies of this gene - one from mother and one from father, making the risk of them getting extremely high. About 60% of those people will develop Alzheimer's disease before they turn in or right into their 85s.

According to recent research, there may be a way to "cure" Alzheimer's disease without drugs - (Photo: AP).

In the latest study published in JAMA Neurology, the researchers wanted to know whether those at risk could also benefit from methods that do not require medication to keep them from being affected. because the disease robs my memory or not.

Diet, exercise, and social interaction have been shown to be associated with slowing the development of this disease in some people, but studies on people with the weak Genetic risk factors such as APOE4 have not concluded anything.

In their experiments, Finnish researchers took advantage of "Old-age intervention research to prevent cognitive decline and damage" of other Finnish researchers to compare among people with and without APOE4 in person.

In a random way, the subjects were given an intensive regimen for eating, exercising and brain training, or participating in a controlled general health counseling program.

Although some of them carry genes of high risk for disease, they have not shown signs of amnesia of severe cognitive impairment.

Those who fall into the most severe forms of amnesia have been excluded, so researchers can focus on subjects at earlier stages of disease.

Because people with the APOE4 gene are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, some brain experts believe they may be more vulnerable to the effects of a poor diet, lack of exercise and Their level of social interaction is minimal.

Hoping to open up here is: if you ensure that people with genetic risk factors are eating well, exercising regularly and can slow down the progression of the root this disease.

According to Time, the results of the study are attractive enough to inspire many other studies on drug-free interventions that may help improve symptoms in people with the disease.

It also supports an increasing trend in the field of drug and non-drug use strategies as soon as possible in this disease to prevent, instead of treating the symptoms when they appear.
