If you walk one more intersection, you may not be able to find your way home; Glutathione

if you stay in a daze for a while, you may not be able to recognize your dearest ones.

This is a special group – Alzheimer’s disease patients. The core of Alzheimer’s disease is forgetfulness. He may forget many things, but he will always remember to love you.

September 21 is the 30th World Alzheimer’s Day, with the theme of “Prevention and Treatment, Sooner or Later”.

As human lifespan increases, chronic diseases, especially the neurodegenerative disease Alzheimer’s disease, have become a problem that seriously affects people’s cognition and quality of life.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common typical neurological degeneration and one of the manifestations of aging, with an incidence rate of 2.06% among people over 55 years old in my country.

With cognitive function impairment as the core symptom, accompanied by emotional and mental behavioral symptoms, the patient’s daily living ability, learning ability, work performance and social interaction functions are significantly reduced.

A previous report released by the International Alzheimer’s Society pointed out that on average, an elderly person is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease every three seconds.

The eraser in the mind

What is it like when a loved one has Alzheimer’s disease?

In the stories of family members of Alzheimer’s patients, forgetting is just the beginning.

As their loved ones’ illness progresses, they are faced with their loved ones’ “sometimes sober and sometimes confused” state.

At the same time, they also have to undertake heavy nursing work. If they are not careful, their loved ones may have accidents…

For the family members of Alzheimer’s patients, watching their loved ones suffer from the disease and being helpless is the most painful thing for them.

The Korean movie “The Eraser in My Mind” has deeply moved many moviegoers. The movie showed the public the disease progression and daily life of Alzheimer’s patients.

The patient’s brain is like an eraser, and all kinds of beautiful memories such as family, love, and friendship are gradually lost, and they gradually become unable to take care of themselves, and their caregivers are under tremendous pressure. Such scenes also happen in many Chinese families.

Let us race against time together to protect the memory of love

Studies have found that the application of glutathione can effectively resist oxidative stress and carbonyl poisoning damage, and can improve cognitive function, which will be a promising treatment method.

Glutathione depletion has been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s disease.

When the brain continues to consume 20% of the body’s oxygen intake and absorption, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are also produced. Therefore, detoxification within brain cells is crucial, and it is in this area that glutathione plays a vital role.

Glutathione is a naturally occurring molecule found in every cell in our body that is made up of three amino acids – cysteine, glycine and glutamate.

It is involved in many cellular functions such as stress defense, detoxification, and cell signaling.

Glutathione also affects DNA and protein synthesis, amino acid transport, gene expression, and the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, thus maintaining optimal levels of Glutathione is essential for protecting the balance of our bodies.

Not only that, glutathione imbalance has been linked to the progression of many diseases, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, immune and metabolic diseases, regardless of the chronic disease, glutathione levels will be at a low level.

Although the research on aging and anti-aging still needs to be further in-depth, anti-aging should start from young adults and actively carry out science education and publicity, especially for key groups, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and diabetes.

Providing active scientific guidance to susceptible groups and rational application of drug intervention and treatment instead of blindly following false propaganda will definitely reduce the occurrence of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and anti-aging effects.

Race against time to protect the memory of love.
