Discover thanks to PuMS the health show how to have a brain in great shape! Doctor Boris Hansel reveals the precautions to take to keep your brain in great health throughout our lives. But also, learn what the risks are of a brain that is poorly or not maintained and how to act so that it is in top shape! Protecting your brain means first of all protecting yourself from cognitive diseases that deteriorate the intellectual capacities of our brain to: communicate, concentrate, remember an event… The best known neurodegenerative disease is Alzheimer's disease. It is responsible for 2/3 of dementias. To protect yourself, you must watch your diet, sleep and do sports. Parkinson's disease, which affects 150,000 patients in France, causes slow walking and tremors. It generally occurs after the age of 60. The risk factors for these diseases are pesticides, overconsumption of dairy products, etc. Indeed, Parkinson's disease since 1992 can be recognized as an occupational disease for farmers, for example (in the case of more than 10 years of regular exposure). On the contrary, regular consumption of coffee or tea has a protective effect. Less well known, Lewy body disease is presented by Marc Olivier Fogiel. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a type of dementia that shares characteristics with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. It is the third leading cause of dementia in France, combining psychomotor disorders, memory disorders, hallucinations, etc. Stroke, also called cerebrovascular accident, is a very common disease. It is the leading cause of disability outside of trauma and the second leading cause of dementia. In France, there is a stroke every 4 minutes. The risk increases with high blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, and diabetes. There is also another brain disease, which occurs in younger patients and causes disability, multiple sclerosis. It is the leading cause of disability in people in their thirties. 13:07 Discover with Doctor Julien Dumergier what memory and the hippocampus are and its role in Alzheimer's disease. Also learn to distinguish memory lapses memory lapse: common disorder (due to attentional difficulty) and the warning sign. 19:10 The feeling of déjà vu: origins and explanations 20:35 What are the signs that should alert you to a memory disorder? Doctor Flore Baronnet explains that you must react when those around you notice forgetfulness, or when you have difficulty finding the right word, but also when you encounter orientation problems. Also, if memory difficulties have an impact on daily life, it is important to consult. She also explains that we need to monitor three points: - Monitor your blood pressure using the self-measurement technique: 3 readings over 3 days, then take the average. If the average is higher than 13.5 for the first number or 8.5 for the second value, it is already too high and must be taken care of. - Monitor cholesterol because it contributes to clogging the arteries. - Do physical activity because it has beneficial effects on brain function. You need to move and vary your activities. Don't hesitate to ask us your questions and subscribe to discover the next episodes!
