According to a 2015 based article, listed on the Alzheimer's Disease International website, close to 50 million people were to have Alzheimer's disease the world over, as of 2017. This article further suggests that the number will double every 20 years and thus, reach numbers like 75 million by 2030 and 131.5 million by 2050.
As per an article published on World Alzheimer's Day 2017, India had 1.6 million people suffering from this disease, and it was expected to triple by 2050. So, it is evident that we are dealing with a silent, and yet painful condition that is not getting the importance that it should. As we already know, it is a disease which is usually as part of the aging process. People start losing their memory or cognitive capabilities as a result of this. It becomes essential for the caregivers, to ensure the safety of these people as they may end up wandering without knowing it, and worse, may not be able to get back home, or remember any names or contact numbers. However, scientists across the world have been actively researching this topic. There have been studies conducted to understand what causes it, what actions can be taken as preventive measures, etc. Recently, one study has suggested that meditation done daily may help in alleviating the signs and symptoms of dementia.
The Findings
This study, conducted on people with early Alzheimer's found that a daily short dose of meditation helps reduce blood pressure, and perceived stress, while improving sleep, memory, and mood, not just in the patients, but also their caregivers. This gives a ray of hope for many people affected the world over. While there are many ways in which the disease is being managed and treated, prevention, as they say, happens to be the best cure, here as well. Hence, it is best if one can bring in meditation into the daily routine.
As we all know, meditation has a lot of benefits for the mental as well as the physical well-being of people, especially for senior citizens. This is also something that can be done by anyone, anytime and needs to specific training as such or any tools, etc. Meditation is a crucial aspect of most yoga classes. If not, today one can easily download meditation apps as well and start practicing. Even immobile can easily do meditation, and hence, there is no excuse really for not doing it, when the benefits are so high.
Other Tips
The other tips one may follow to try and keep this dreaded disease at bay, are:
Eating mindfully as that ensures that, the body gains maximum benefits out of what we eat. Follow a healthy and balanced diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and cereals, the right meat and seafood, etc.
One should also be mindful about the body weight and should exercise regularly to maintain the weight and not get obese.
The brain should be kept as active as possible with mind games, puzzles, constant learning of new skills, etc. This ensures that the brain cells are in nonstop action and will remain healthy, and not allow for any build-up which ultimately leads to the Alzheimer's disease.
Constant health checkups to monitor all vital health parameters like sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. and timely treatment, helps in remaining healthy. This is more so if there is any family history of Alzheimer's. Also, females are more at risk than men and should take special care, to keep themselves active.
One of the significant factors leading to Alzheimer's is, of course, age. However, this is something that we cannot possibly avoid. Hence, the next best step would be to be aware of the disease, follow the tips to prevent its occurrence and watch out early signs and symptoms like a slow decline in memory and cognitive capabilities.

[www.keralites.net] Remedy For Irregular Periods

REMEDY FOR IRREGULAR PERIODS

Poly cystic ovary is a very common cause for irregular periods in adolescent and young girls. If obese bring down the Body Mass Index (BMI) to below 24. Avoid Junk food, chocolates and biscuits. Eat less of oily foods take lot of fresh vegetables. Regular exercise, not just walking have free time in the evenings with friends and get relaxed. Sleep well.If periods do not occur at right time after 3 months of these consult Gynecologist. But if there is excessive flow during the periods or if flow continues for more than 7-10 days and flow is very frequent less than 15 days better consult doctor. I have seen girls with hemoglobin less than 6 Gm% just due to irregular scanty flow alone.Low hemoglobin will make the girl inactive and dull with no concentration to studies and easily fatigable.

Dr.Sundaram M.K.

Irregular periods are quite a common problem in women. Women that have irregular lengths of menstrual cycle are quite concerned about it. Commonreasons for irregular periods are stress, lack of physical activity, heavy exercises, an imbalance of hormones at menarche or while nearing menopause, improper intake of diet and certain medications could be the cause of irregular periods.

It is quite rare that irregularity of periods could be due to an underlying complication. However, if a woman faces irregular periods for a long time, she must consult a doctor to make herself sure that she isn't having any trouble other than the common reasons.
7 Home Remedies For Irregular Periods

Although irregular periods mostly occur due to normal and general reasons and may not be mostly harmful, but this seems to be quite inconvenient for a woman.Having irregular menstrual cycle means, being prepared all the time which is mostly not comfortable..Hence, if you are quite sure that you are not suffering from any sort of complication after having referred a doctor, then you may try out the following home remedies to improve the regularity of your menstrual cycle.

Diet

Improving your diet is the easiest and the most convenient way to get rid of anydisease. Girls! high cholesterol levels can affect the blood flow towards your ovaries. Therefore eat a low fat diet.

Do not eat highly processed foods. Other foods such as white bread, white flour, pastas and white rice may also be a reason for irregular periods. Foods containing caffeine must also be avoided if one faces irregularity of periods..To balance your hormones, an adequate amount of protein intake is a must. Hence, include the foods in your diet that are rich in protein such as eggs, milk, almonds, walnuts, cheese, etc.
Iron Intake For Irregular Periods

Women who have low amounts of iron in their blood, may have a reduced menstrual flow because iron forms an important part of your red blood cells.Therefore, intake of foods that contains iron is quite necessary.
Weight Control

Being overweight or underweight could also be the reason behind irregular periods.Therefore, keep your body weight normal in relation to your age, height and physique.

Asafetida

Asafetida is the herb which is beneficial in regulating the menstrual cycle. Itincreases the production of progesterone and hence, is an effective one amongst the 'home remedies for irregular periods'.

If you go to a doctor to complain about having irregular periods, the second or third question they will ask you would be "are you taking any stress?"Stress does not only cause irregularity of periods but is also the reason behind many other health disorders. So to improve the regularity of periods, women must try to reduce their stress levels as much as possible.

Since its leaves are also edible, they can be used in a variety of recipes.

Store it in a cool and dry place, ideally refrigerated for 7-10 days. For an enduring storage, the leaves need to be cut 2 inches from the root.
