Age related cerebral atrophy

Hi

What is age related Cerebral Atrophy ? Is it fully curable and treatable?  Once it happens, can we check's its progress?  What is the best diet for patients with age related cerebral atrophy?

Is Medical Science trying to find a full cure to all age related Neuro problems?

Please reply.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Age related cerebral atrophy cannot be cured. Unfortunately neurons in the brain do not have the ability to regenerate once they are damaged. It can occur due to age, alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis etc.
The treatment involves management of symptoms with physical therapy, behavioral therapy and speech therapy.
Medical science is advancing in understanding of brain and neurological function. However there is still a long way to go before a specific treatment for cerebral atrophy can come to light.

Thanks

The best diet is Fruits & Vegatables (lots of Spinach & Broccoli)...
Also--Zinc Supplements & Honey is good for you...
Lots of Exercise,  vitamins C0Q10 Ubiquinol Kaneka QH, EGCG from Natural Sources (If you have any type of Brain Atrophy) You want your body to have as much Stamina as possible to help fight this & deal with it...
I have mild atrophy and am 43 years old---I feel that big change & and if I don't get proactive about it--it can get much worse (Stress got to me, plus I think this is hereditary)...
