Many elderly persons at some point in their lives may have to deal with Alzheimer’s and diarrhea. Diarrhea happens when an individual gets three or more watery or unformed stools in 24 hours.

It can be a very tiring time for the affected individual as well as the caregivers.

Several studies report that there is a link between dementia and cholesterol levels in the human body. Before getting deeper into this, it is important to note that cholesterol is essential for the healthy functioning of the body.

But there is a catch.

A new study has revealed that there may be a link between calcium supplements and dementia risk. This was published in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology.

It reported that women who take calcium supplements are at a higher risk of developing dementia.

This especially applies if they suffered from cerebrovascular diseases.

Numerous research studies confirm that there is a link between dementia and high blood pressure. High blood pressure also known as hypertension is a chronic condition where the force of blood against the artery walls becomes too high causing various health problems including strokes and heart attacks.

Hypertension is known to cause progressive brain damage.
