2013-05-01 06:15:44 PM angel4aml18 many of our dementia residents do really well with finger foods such as sandwiches
2013-05-01 06:15:45 PM lynnet Speakers bureau for the alz assoc
2013-05-01 06:15:47 PM cchase we all associate it with AD
2013-05-01 06:15:54 PM bernlewis I wonder if it's because the feel good neurotransmitter is lacking. Maybe like craving carbs for energy
2013-05-01 06:16:00 PM hhammondg I have this personal theory about gluten and general health...
2013-05-01 06:16:01 PM cchase AD = Alzheimer's Disease
2013-05-01 06:16:07 PM taggirl500 yes
2013-05-01 06:16:26 PM cchase many others follow a theory about nutrition and AD
2013-05-01 06:16:51 PM hhammondg For some people, gluten is like an opiate. For others, it is like arsenic.
2013-05-01 06:16:52 PM taggirl500 I have a theory about A.D.D and AD
2013-05-01 06:16:57 PM lynnet there are so many new studies being done and so many new things are being discovered
2013-05-01 06:16:58 PM cchase we are just getting feedback on food intake and how it relates to brain memory loss
2013-05-01 06:17:07 PM kmcooley How about exercise...or lack of?
2013-05-01 06:17:12 PM wellprepared85 I do and I keep a track on it every week
2013-05-01 06:17:13 PM bernlewis Lansing community college has some great :caring sheets" that are easy to interpret and gives good examples of what functions may be affected by ad in what portion of the brain
2013-05-01 06:17:13 PM hhammondg I agree that ADD and AD are VERY similar.
2013-05-01 06:17:18 PM cchase great question
2013-05-01 06:17:32 PM cchase who knows how exercise relates to AD
2013-05-01 06:17:43 PM hhammondg circulation
2013-05-01 06:17:46 PM cathymayle Mine love to exercise
2013-05-01 06:17:57 PM hhammondg mind-body pathways
2013-05-01 06:18:01 PM cchase explain circulation
2013-05-01 06:18:02 PM wellprepared85 sensory stimulation
2013-05-01 06:18:17 PM 131570 Keeping the blood flowing to the brain...
2013-05-01 06:18:20 PM lynnet Celeste - what is your opinion on having the 'pre test' by relatives of AD people to see if they are susceptible. New study I know - just wondering where you are on that
2013-05-01 06:18:21 PM hhammondg exercise promotes good circulation, which oxygenates the brain
2013-05-01 06:18:52 PM cchase ok let me answer one
2013-05-01 06:18:57 PM bernlewis I think it stimulates the neurons to make different connections thus hopefully creating new pathways as well as keeping blood flow going. I 'm not quite sure
2013-05-01 06:19:09 PM cchase very good
2013-05-01 06:19:13 PM cchase very very good
2013-05-01 06:19:23 PM taggirl500 All my AD residents are active but none like exercise class lol
2013-05-01 06:19:26 PM cchase In terms of pretest
2013-05-01 06:19:43 PM tamela50 one of mine loves to walk alot
2013-05-01 06:20:01 PM cchase the test will only tell you that based on family genetics - you have a higher risk
2013-05-01 06:20:06 PM angel4aml18 we play a lot of active games in addition to exercise such as bean bag toss, balloon volleyball, ring toss
2013-05-01 06:20:08 PM cchase than someone else
2013-05-01 06:20:15 PM kmcooley age must be a factor ...an 85 yr old with alz will exercize differently that an early onset Alz in their 50's...
2013-05-01 06:20:24 PM cchase we still rely on brain autopsy
2013-05-01 06:20:28 PM lynnet correcct - some families I speak with say they don't want to know
2013-05-01 06:20:29 PM motterjx exercise probaly helps with oxygen flow
2013-05-01 06:20:31 PM cchase to confirm
2013-05-01 06:20:36 PM bernlewis Sometimes the exercises are difficult for them to follow. I found in adult day care programs the participants have a better connection socially with the group be casue it's smaller and they don't feel as self conscious.
2013-05-01 06:20:40 PM lynnet right
2013-05-01 06:20:43 PM cchase we also know that there is a responsible gene

2013-05-01 06:21:41 PM cchase it can be traced in the blood and confirm higher probabiity
2013-05-01 06:21:57 PM hhammondg I wonder if that is linked to gluten-intolerance? Yes, I have a one-track mind.
2013-05-01 06:22:03 PM lynnet Was reading an article that say the herb Rosemary is effective in memory - new studies in England. I took Rosemary to my unit and had the residents smell it for sensory activity - figured if it works on memory all the better - lol
2013-05-01 06:22:09 PM cchase okay - so what do we do if we know we might be at risk
2013-05-01 06:22:11 PM wellprepared85 We keep exercise on the agenda every day because its needed for circulation and keep them active. And we have some people legs that swell up and we like to do alot of sittercise exercise to move their legs as well.

2013-05-01 06:22:33 PM bernlewis Somewhere I remember reading that music works in a different part of the brain maybe mid brain so yo really don't need a lot of cognition to sway or tap your foot:)

2013-05-01 06:23:22 PM hhammondg If you can tap into muscle memory, you've got it made in terms of getting them to exercise. I think that's why dancing works so well.
