With few exceptions, most cars and trucks coming out of the factory these days are well-built and thoughtfully designed, earning high marks from consumers for their initial quality. But ask car buyers again in three years whether theyâre satisfied with their carâs reliability and you might get a different answer.
Hippocrates once said Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.. In the case of dementia, a diet of nutrient-rich foods can improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Advanced dementia patients may forget to eat, and eventually don't feel hunger as a result of depression, medication side effects and cognitive decline.
Other test we do for very early dementia are having the patient list every animal or vegetable they can think of in one minute. We also use a test of word list remembering. If there is a problem you'll want to track it down and treat it. If there are no other symptoms, most of the time the forgetting is benign. If there is no problem, hopefully it would give you peace of mind.
