Dementia is a term used to describe many different conditions related to memory loss and cognitive skills. Brain cells become damaged and they can no longer communicate with each other, therefore the brain is not able to carry out its normal functions.

&nbsp;

The symptoms of Dementia vary greatly but in general it is the act of memory loss, difficulty in communication and language, visual perception, reasoning and judgment, and the ability to focus on a task and pay attention.

&nbsp;

A doctor will need to work hard to determine the exact type and cause of Dementia in a patient and in most cases it’s wise to see a specialist for treatments and care. There is no cure and it is a progressive disease that will get worse over time, it can, however, be monitored and the patient may find some temporary relief in treatment.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Which nutrients your body will get and how much depends on your diet. Nutrients are chemical substances that help your body maintain tissues, make energy, regulate different processes, etc. Nutrition is the process of taking nutrients from various foods. There are six classes of nutrients: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, water, minerals, and vitamins.

The third three classes are known as macronutrients because our bodies need them in large quantities. Lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins are unique because they are the only elements that provide the body with energy. Energy is measured in calories.

Water is also a nutrient that some scientists categorize as a macronutrient because our bodies need it in large quantities. Water is quickly lost through sweat and evaporation, so you need to fill up by drinking liquids and eating fruits, vegetables and other foods that contain water.

Consuming a healthy diet with vegetables, fruits, protein, and dairy ensures the body has enough nutrients to use.

Food

The foods you eat have a huge influence on your ability to enjoy life. One of the main effects of food is the feeling you get from eating a delicious meal. There are many different chemical substances in food, including macronutrients, micronutrients, water and dietary fiber. Macronutrients, for example, protein, are present in large amounts. Micronutrients are present in smaller quantities, for example, vitamins.

Food can also contain flavors, colors, active substances such as steroids, caffeine and salicylates, additives and natural toxins. Different characteristics of food depend on the presence of chemicals in them.
The chemical nature of food can be changed by preservation, storage and, of course, cooking. Moreover, food chemicals can interact with each other. For example, the way in which our bodies absorb carbohydrates depends on dietary fiber, even though our bodies don't absorb the fiber itself.

Which foods you eat have long-term effects on your health. Healthy foods help prevent some chronic diseases and decrease recovery periods from the disease.
