El número de víctimas es impresionante: es la quinta causa de muerte entre los estadounidenses mayores y, sólo en 2023, el coste de la atención médica, los cuidados a largo plazo y los servicios de cuidados paliativos para las personas con demencia se ha estimado en 345.000 millones de dólares.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePero eso no significa que la mayoría de nosotros estemos condenados a desarrollar Alzheimer. La investigación sobre la neuro plasticidad ha demostrado que nuestros cerebros tienen la capacidad de seguir cambiando, aprendiendo y creciendo incluso en nuestros últimos años. Pocos conocen mejor lo que el Alzheimer afecta a las personas --a sus cerebros, sus cuerpos, sus familias y sus vidas-- que la Dra. Heather Sandison, una de las especialistas más destacadas en el cuidado del Alzheimer. En Revertir el Alzheimer, muestra cómo podemos aliviar los factores que empujan al cerebro al declive, añadir más elementos que contribuyan a la regeneración cerebral y conseguir mejoras significativas en la función cognitiva o evitar que se produzca el declive cognitivo.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSu enfoque es individualizado, paso a paso, y abarca todo el cuerpo. La Dra. Sandison guía sistemáticamente al lector a través de los factores que contribuyen tanto positiva como negativamente a nuestra salud cognitiva, desde los biológicos y físicos (toxinas, nutrición, hormonas, infecciones, ejercicio) hasta los psicológicos (autoconversión negativa, traumas); desde los sociales (compromiso personal con nuestra comunidad, soledad y relaciones) hasta los culturales (discriminación por edad, estrés). La autora ofrece a pacientes y cuidadores un enfoque basado en la evidencia para revertir y prevenir el deterioro cognitivo, y destila un enfoque multifactorial para el tratamiento de esta compleja enfermedad en un programa factible, paso a paso y personalizable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA revolutionary and much-needed exploration of Alzheimer's, how it is a complex disease that requires a complex approach, how the vast majority of dementia research overlooks this fundamental truth, and how patients and their caregivers can simplify this complexity and take back control from this insidious disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. The toll is stunning: it is the fifth-leading cause of death among older Americans, and in 2023 alone, the cost of health care, long-term care, and hospice services for people with dementia has been estimated at $345 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut that doesn't mean most of us are doomed to develop Alzheimer's. Research in neuroplasticity has proven that our brains have the capacity to keep changing, learning, and growing even into our later years. Few know better about what Alzheimer's does to people--to their brains, their bodies, their families, their lives--than Dr. Heather Sandison, one of the foremost Alzheimer's dementia-care clinicians. In Reversing Alzheimer's, she shows how we can alleviate the factors that nudge the brain into decline, add more of the things that contribute to brain regeneration, and either make significant improvements in cognitive function or prevent cognitive decline from happening in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53433595035921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53433595068689,"sku":"NIN9780063426764","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780063426764.jpg?v=1776487882"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-heather-sandison.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
