DMAE

DMAE is a naturally occurring molecule found in fish. Human studies since the 70s have shown that taking DMAE increases life expectancy.

DMAE is a precursor to the memory molecule acetylcholine and the molecule that is part of cell membranes, phosphatidylethanolamine.

Additional intake of the supplement improves memory functions and increases the “fluidity” of cell membranes. For example, this makes it easier for red blood cells to bend when passing through small capillaries.

DMAE is an antioxidant and is capable of removing the “aging pigment” lipofuscin that accumulates in cells, which interferes with the normal functioning of cells.

Memory training exercises

Communication

During a conversation, your gray cells are in full swing. Listening, processing information, thinking, and making affirmations all stimulate multiple areas of the brain at once. Therefore, any type of social exchange is excellent gymnastics for the mind.

Counting in memory

If possible, count in memory and avoid using a calculator. For example, you can count the balance of money, calculate the amount of purchases before reaching the cash register, or add simple two-digit numbers.

Memorizing small pieces of text

Instead of taking a shopping list from home, try to memorize it. You can learn a short poem, favorite quotes from books, stop using a notebook.

Refusal of routine

From time to time, you can take a different route home, write something with your left hand, or read a book in a cafe instead of at home. Even such small deviations from the usual course of things make the brain work more intensely and create new connections between neurons.

Openness to new things

Whether it's learning to use a new technological device or a creative hobby, interest in a new task strongly stimulates gray cells and evenly activates all areas and functions of the brain.

List of exercises

• Removing syllables. Select a newspaper article and cross out all the endings ending in “s” as quickly as possible. Try to read each line only once, without going back to the beginning. This exercise can be modified to, for example, remove all words with a dash or the words “from” or “to”.
• Reading upside down. Take your favorite book and turn it upside down. After that, try to read what is written and understand the meaning. This way you will improve your ability to concentrate.
• Description. This exercise can be done while walking. Choose an object you encounter along the way and try to pronounce its name backwards. For example, “pillar” - “blots”, “window” - “onko”, etc.
• Scrambling letters. Find a long word and try to make new words from its letters.

Of the over-the-counter medications among older people suffering from memory disorders, glycine is the most well-known and popular in Russia.

This drug contains only one active component - gamma-aminobutyric acid (0.25 or 0.5 grams per tablet), as well as another amino acid, Aminalon, which is also considered an effective memory stimulant and is often used with glycine. Bilobil capsules, the main component of which is gingko leaf extract, have a positive effect on improving memory and concentration.

Forecast and consequences

The prognosis for patients with cerebral atherosclerosis is ambiguous. The following factors play a role:

• Age;
• Stage of the disease;
• Timely start of treatment;
• Eliminating risk factors, following recommendations;
• Accompanying illnesses.

If the patient consults a doctor on time and immediately begins treatment, he has a chance to keep the disease under control. At the same time, the quality of life will not deteriorate.

However, without treatment and if recommendations are ignored, complications follow.

Ischemic stroke. Atherosclerotic plaques predispose to the formation of blood clots. The blood clot blocks the lumen, blood does not flow, and part of the cerebral cortex dies.

This type of stroke develops gradually, often after previous transient ischemic attacks. Often occurs during sleep. The patient wakes up with a headache, weakness, and numbness of the limbs. His speech is impaired. Neurological symptoms subsequently appear.

Symptoms:

• loss of sensitivity on one half of the face;
• paralysis of one half of the face;
• vision problems: patients see “floaters” in front of their eyes, flashes of light, double objects;
• unsteady gait;
• general weakness, numbness of the limbs.

If you have such signs, you should immediately consult a doctor. He will conduct a differential diagnosis. An ischemic stroke is similar to a cerebral hemorrhage. An error in diagnosis will cost the patient his life.

Treatment will be immediately prescribed to minimize the area of ​​necrosis of the cerebral cortex. To determine the affected area, MRI and CT with contrast are performed.

After a stroke, patients need recovery and return to normal life. The Yusupov Hospital has a rehabilitation clinic with high-quality equipment, where stroke patients receive the necessary care. Rehabilitation methods:

• Kinesitherapy;
• Massotherapy;
• Biofeedback method;
• Electromyostimulation.

Vascular dementia. As a result of atherosclerosis, the blood vessels of the brain narrow. Less blood flows. Due to lack of blood supply to the brain, its functions are impaired. The first signs of vascular dementia: memory loss, disorientation, decreased concentration. The patient does not remember recent events and confuses names. At the same time, he realizes that he has become forgetful.

At this stage, it is important to start treatment as soon as possible, as the symptoms will continue to increase and changes in the mental sphere will become irreversible.
