Abuse and neglect: Love shouldn’t hurt Although tensions can mount in the most loving families and result in frustration and anger, an emotionally damaging or physically forceful response is NOT okay. When this happens, call for a time-out, and call for help. Physical abuse is defined as using force or violence (pushing or slapping) to get a person to do something, or using confinement or restraints (over-medicating, tying hands) to prevent a person from doing something. The dangers of physical abuse are easy to see, but Emotional abuse is also unhealthy and damaging. Continued shaming, harsh criticism, or controlling behaviors can damage the self-esteem of either person. Neglect is defined as providing inadequate food, water, clothing, shelter or help with personal hygiene and health care. (When medically and legally sanctioned, the withholding of nutrition and hydration at the end of life or when a person is in hospice care is NOT defined as neglect). People with dementia are especially vulnerable to mistreatment. Understanding dementia, knowing how best to communicate with a person with dementia, and having adequate support for yourself can go a long way toward preventing these very upsetting situations.

Eat more fish! Studies have long shown that a diet high in polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fish can help protect against cognitive decline, but recent research confirms that eating fish actually has a beneficial physical effect on the brain. The study, published in the August 5, 2008 issue of the journal Neurology, included 3,660 adults age 65 and older who underwent a magnetic resonance MRI scan between 1992 and 1994. Food questionnaires were used to determine dietary habits. Researchers found that brain abnormalities were less common among participants who ate three or more servings of fish per week compared to those who ate fish less than once a month. Eating fish regularly also was associated with increased white matter (the area responsible for transmitting brain signals) and a lower incidence of markers of brain atrophy. Researchers note that regularly eating fried fish did not result in the same health advantages. Another study in the same journal explored the use of fish oil supplements among older adults but found that supplementation did not significantly improve cognition. These findings may suggest that eating fish is superior to taking fish oil supplements, but further research is needed to confirm this theory. (Taken from Women’s Health Reporter)
