Alzheimer’s disease is the kind of illness that affects brain and causes progressive deterioration mostly to the individuals of middle or old age as a result of generalized relapse of the brain.
There were traditional methods that were used for the prevention of the Alzheimer’s disease. Many healthcare workers had to use various methods for its prevention of the diseases since its traditional methods were not functional (Pope, Shue & Beck, 2003). The traditional methods being used were; playing music, storytelling session, pet remedy, and art remedy among others.
Since there were many challenges facing these traditional methods for prevention of the diseases making healthcare workers to work hard to overcome? Traditional methods for the prevention were unrealistic and not reliable; hence it led to the healthcare workers to overcome this by suggesting more practicable methods like diet being feed to the susceptible population. since old methods were not applicable to the susceptible and infected patients methods, like music was not used by all since most of these age individual have hearing problems; healthcare workers were involved in such of preventive ways on their own to prevent disease and advocated for research being conducted on brains of the affected individual to know the cause so s to prevent it (Daviglus, Plassman, Pirzada, Bell, Bowen, Burke & Williams, 2011).
With the current approaches to prevention and control of the Alzheimer’s disease there are many issues arising from such methods. The current methods used are observation of certain diets, doing exercise and recreational activities among others. All these methods are assumed to act as the current approaches to prevention and control of the disease (Neurology, 1190).
The main problems associated with the current methods are that; all the recommended diet to be taken for the prevention of the disease is may not be readily available to the susceptible and affected populations. Most of the middle and old individuals are unable to conduct exercises on their own making this approach unattainable. Not every individual is in a position to afford the recreational services hence it can’t be used for convenient.
