Dementia\u00a0(meaning “deprived of mind”) is a serious cognitive disorder. It may be static, the result of a unique global brain injury or progressive, resulting in long-term decline in\u00a0cognitive function\u00a0due to damage or\u00a0disease\u00a0in the body beyond what might be expected from normal\u00a0aging<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although dementia is far more common in the\u00a0geriatric\u00a0population, it may occur in any stage of adulthood. This age cutoff is defining, as similar sets of symptoms due to\u00a0organic brain syndrome\u00a0or dysfunction, are given different names in populations younger than adult.<\/p>\n Dementia is a non-specific illness\u00a0syndrome\u00a0(set of signs and\u00a0symptoms) in which affected areas of cognition may be\u00a0memory,\u00a0attention, language, and\u00a0problem solving. It is normally required to be present for at least 6 months to be diagnosed.<\/p>\n Effect of Healthy nutrition and fasting<\/span><\/p>\n “Healthy nutrition and periodic fasting activate brain” Says Hanz diteleyv Vasman director of the Department of Neurosurgery at\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0M\u00fcnster\u00a0hospital. Also he confirms that calories restriction prevents disorders in the brain’s functions and reduces the possibility of dementia.<\/p>\n He added that researches proved that healthy and low calories foods which are full of the\u00a0fatty acid(omega3 )<\/a>\u00a0increase the efficiency of delivering signals in the brain.<\/p>\n The neurons (nerve cells) in the brain are the most important cells in the human body so that we have to get healthy nutrition to feed these cells and to prevent many diseases. Scientists confirm that fasting plays a vital role to activate the brain cells.<\/p>\n Fasting and regular calorie restriction\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Experts and researchers had proved that regular calories restriction is an effective technique to get healthy life also they believe that periodic fasting is more efficient for the following reasons:<\/p>\n Fasting in Islam is the act of totally abstaining from food,\u00a0drink, and sexual activity from Dawn (Fajr<\/em>) to sunset. Fasting is mandatory on Muslims in Ramadan but it is optional at the rest of the year at any day.<\/p>\n Omega-3 is important for quite a few reasons, some of which being;<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Regulation of blood clotting<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Boosting artery wall relaxation and contraction<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Strengthening of cell membranes<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Normalizing the speed at which your heart beats<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Brain development and growth :\u00a0https:\/\/www.jenreviews.com\/omega-3\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n As usual religion of Islam had preceded all scientists and researchers all over the world as Allah almighty says in His holy book fourteen centuries ago : (and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not\u00a0Al-Musrif\u00fbn\u00a0<\/em>(those who waste by extravagance))<\/span>(S\u00fbrat Al-A\u2018r\u00e2f-verse 31), also He almighty says:(\u00a0And that you fast is better for you if only you know.)<\/span>(S\u00fbrat<\/u>\u00a0Al-Baqarah-verse184).<\/p>\n Finally I would like to remind you by what prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) used to and ordered us to do which is fasting two days weekly (Monday and Thursday) and three days monthly.<\/p>\n ——————–<\/p>\n By: Abduldaem Al-Kaheel<\/p>\n References<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kaheel7.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/brain_healthy-300x200.jpg\")
