How to recognize dementia in the early stages
TV presenter and doctor Elena Malysheva, as part of the program “Live Healthy!”, said that such health problems can be identified with the help of exercises for attention and coordination.
As the specialist noted, if difficulties arise when performing tasks, this indicates the death of nerve cells.
The exercise is quite simple and does not require any preliminary preparation or expenses.
To test for dementia, place your hands on a hard surface and repeat a simple combination several times.
As Malysheva said, you should hit the table with your fist, then with the edge of your palm and then with the entire surface.
With each repetition, it is advisable to speed up the movements.
You need to work with your hands in sync.
If there are difficulties in performing such a task, then this should be perceived as an alarm signal.
You need to contact a specialist for help.
