When memory fails
Where did I put my glasses? Did I talk to my brother this morning? I can't remember where the bakery was located?
Subjective memory complaints (feeling unusual forgotten) could be an early symptom of cognitive impairment according to a study published in the prestigious scientific journal Neurology.
The researchers followed more than 1000 women over 65 with a normal brain function. During the next 18 years, in four different moments, women answered the question: ‘Do you feel more memory problems than most?’ At the end of the study, women underwent several tests to determine whether they suffered from mild cognitive dementia or deterioration. The research was able to confirm that women who presented memory problems in those 18 years of follow -up were almost twice as probabilities to develop cognitive impairment.
What is the DCL?
The mild cognitive deterioration (DCL) consists of a decrease in cognitive capacity beyond the expected for age, which does not significantly compromise functional skills; It is considered an intermediate state between normal cognitive function and dementia.
Under this syndrome, multiple health problems can be found such as triggering or cause, from depression, anxiety and other mood alterations, to tumor, metabolic, vasculo-cerebral diseases or the most frequent way of dementia that is Alzheimer's disease .
What can we do to avoid the DCL?
In recent years, research on neurodegenerative diseases has given very scarce results in conventional pharmacological treatment, despite population preventive studies have been very encouraging. Once again healthy lifestyles come to become the best option: physical exercise, food and rest, in addition to good management of emotions in favor of mental health and training of our brain giving it intellectual activity. More recently and following this preventive desire, many professionals incorporate in recent years some nutritional supplements to their recommendations.
Omega 3 DHA, the answer was at sea.
Epidemiological studies demonstrate the protective effect of omega 3 fatty acids on subjective memory complaints, mild cognitive deterioration, dementia and alzheimer's progression. In particular, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that constitutes 90 % of omega-3 fatty acids present in the brain and up to 25 % of the total fat content of the brain, being a fundamental part of the gray matter, responsible for the processing of Information, memory and emotions. The benefits of supplementing with DHA They are obtained from a daily dose of 250 mg. The main source of Omega 3 is in products of marine origin, such as blue fish.
Bacopa, an ancestral adaptogen with new benefits.
Another of the natural ingredients that is generating the most interest in science is the monnieri Bacopa, also known as Brahmi in Ayurvedic medicine. This natural adaptogen acts on acetylcholinesterase in the brain, as well as inhibiting some cellular oxidation processes with the consequent improvement of cognitive performance. Possibly one of the natural nootropics with the most potential of the moment.
