		Acetyl-L-Carnitine Supplements and Alzheimer's Disease ^Votes:0 Acetyl-L-Carnitine Supplements Slow Progression of Alzheimer's Disease Copyright 1995 by Jack Challem, The Nutrition Reporter All rights reserved. A number of scientific studies have shown that carnitine, a nutrient consisting of two amino acids (lysine and methionine), may help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The latest study, by Jay W. Pettegrew, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, has confirmed its value. Pettegrew and his associates gave 3 grams of acetyl-L-carnitine daily to seven probable Alzheimer's patients for one year. This form of the nutrient is the acetyl derivative of carnitine and is more potent than plain carnitine. It is involved in trans-porting fats into the cell, where they are burned for energy.

		Dietary advice tips: (7) Alzheimer's disease ^Votes:0 The Pharmaceutical Journal Vol 264 No 7102 p944 June 24, 2000 Clinical Dietary advice tips: (7) Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, primarily affects people over the age of 65 years. About 8 per cent of people over 65 have Alzheimer's disease, and the prevalence doubles every five years, with 30 per cent of the population over 85 being affected. The condition begins with cognitive disorders that gradually worsen. Other symptoms include orientation difficulties, loss of independence and disordered eating patterns. In addition, weight loss is common, which can lead to increased risk of infection, falls, skin ulcers, and, as a consequence, a deterioration in quality of life. It is therefore worthwhile helping to prevent or reduce these nutritional diffic Read More Go to Site

		Dysphagia Diet 5 Levels Difficulty In Swallowing Diet ^Votes:0 Home \| Jackson Siegelbaum Gastro \| Patient Education Dysphagia Diet 5 Levels for Difficulty In Swallowing Diet Purpose Dysphagia means difficulty with chewing or swallowing food or liquid. To understand how this might happen, it is important to know something about how swallowing occurs. First, food must be chewed thoroughly. Then it is moved to the back of the mouth by tightening the cheek muscles and pressing the tongue against the roof of the mouth. From this point on the process becomes automatic -- it is a reflex that people do not actively control. In "rapid- fire" succession, the soft palate closes the nasal airway to prevent food from backing into it, the airway into the lungs is closed, and the esophagus (food pipe) relaxes allowing food and liquid to enter it. The muscular esopha Read More Go to Site

		help with eating ^Votes:0 Eating If you are caring for someone with dementia you will want to try and ensure that they enjoy their food and that they eat a healthy, balanced diet. But mealtimes can be stressful, particularly as dementia progresses. Here are some suggestions. A calm, regular routine is reassuring for someone with dementia. They are likely to cope better if meals are relaxed, unhurried occasions. Try to allow plenty of time for eating and make sure there are no competing distractions. Poor Appetite Overeating Maintaining independence A healthy diet More tips Poor appetite If the person has a very poor appetite and does not seem interested in eating this may be due to a number of reasons.
