How Brisk Walk Helps In Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease that can impair and even destroy important cognitive functions like memory, seriously hampering a person's life.
Alzheimer's is a condition in which a person's brain cells and nerve connections begin to degenerate at a rapid rate, eventually dying out, resulting in memory loss and loss of other mental functions.
Habits To Reduce The Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease
Some of the main symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include difficulty in thinking and understanding, confusion, delusion, disorientation, loss of memory, apathy, anger, hallucinations, depression, etc.
It can be extremely difficult for people with Alzheimer's to lead a normal life, as they begin to gradually forget about things and certain basic skills.
So with the World Alzheimer's Day around, we have listed a few exercises which patients with Alzheimer's must follow to lead a better life.
1. Walking
This is the simplest exercise a patient with Alzheimer's can follow, as it does not require much effort or help from others. Walking stimulates the brain chemicals and makes the degeneration process much slower.
2. Gentle Stretching
Gently stretching the muscles and joints of the body can also help relax the nerves of a patient with Alzheimer's and ease symptoms like agitation and depression.
3. Balance Exercise
People with Alzheimer's can often lose balance while walking, standing, etc., due to the brain cell degeneration. So, practicing balancing exercises, with the help of a professional can help them a lot!
4. Strength Training
Strength training usually requires gym equipment; however, in the case of Alzheimer's patients, strength training exercises like push-ups, pulls-ups, squats, etc., without equipments can be practiced right at home. These exercises can improve immunity and reduce muscular weakness.
5. Endurance Activities
Spot jogging, climbing the stairs, dancing, etc., are some of the endurance exercises which can be practiced by Alzhiemer's patients, in order to keep their brain cells healthier for a longer time.
6. Yoga
Certain yoga poses like the ‘bujangasana' (snake posture) and ‘pranayama' (breathing exercises) have also been known to help people with Alzheimer's cope better!
