01 · Unordinary Memory Loss
Frequent lapses such as forgetting recent conversations, relying heavily on reminders, or repeatedly asking for the same information can signal early-stage Alzheimer’s.
Identifying Early Signs
Recognizing changes early creates more opportunities to plan, seek medical guidance, and support loved ones facing Alzheimer’s disease.
Warning signs
Spot These Symptoms Promptly
02 · Difficult Speech or Writing
Struggling to follow conversations, losing a train of thought mid-sentence, or forgetting familiar words are warning signs worth discussing with a physician.
03 · Misplacing Essentials
Regularly putting belongings in unusual places and being unable to retrace steps can point to short-term memory loss tied to Alzheimer’s.
04 · Confusion with Time or Place
Difficulty keeping track of dates, seasons, or even how someone arrived at a location is a key indicator that professional evaluation is needed.
05 · Changes in Mood or Personality
New feelings of confusion, suspicion, depression, or fear—especially in familiar settings—may stem from Alzheimer’s or related dementias.
Healthy habits
Preventative Measures
While no definitive prevention strategy exists, healthy routines protect the brain and may slow cognitive decline.
- Eat for brain health: Mediterranean-style diets rich in fish, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains correlate with lower risk.
- Prioritize sleep: Deep rest helps clear beta-amyloid proteins that otherwise accumulate and form Alzheimer’s plaques.
- Manage stress: Chronic cortisol can damage the hippocampus. Mindfulness, yoga, and breathing exercises reduce strain.
- Stay mentally and socially active: Cognitive challenges and supportive relationships build resilience, delaying symptom onset.
