Alzheimer is a memory deficient disease.
Often we see people facing difficulties in remembering the things and lacks memory power. The severe memory loss leads to the deprivation of problem solving capacity, grasping the language and in a serious condition; person will not be able to think. Significantly the syndrome is named as Alzheimer’s disease which is the most common form of dementia. This is a case of physical damage of brain wherein the necessary proteins will not reach the nerve cells making its connection weak and eventually the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissue.

- Tend to forget the recent conversations or events.

In the later stage, Alzheimer can lead to delusions and hallucinations making a person to rely on someone while eating or walking. The disease is so common that it can be seen in any kind of person irrespective of his/her habit or gene. A right cure at the infant stage and the proper care can stop the person reaching the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
A research suggests that a methodical practice of yoga and meditation is the best and low cost solution for Alzheimer’s disease. The team found that a few months’ course of Kundalini yoga and Kirtan yoga have helped in minimizing the cerebral disorders that predate dementia and mainly the Alzheimer’s risk.

“Memory training was comparable to yoga with meditation in terms of improving memory, but yoga provided a broader benefit than memory training because it also helped with mood, anxiety and coping skills”
Kundalini Yoga includes a systematic and regular practice of meditation, asanas, chanting mantra with a focus of awakening kundalini energy. It aims to focus on increasing the consciousness and the compassion in one’s life and thus called as the yoga of awareness. Kritan kriya is the ancient form of yoga practiced in India from ages to prevent emotional decline in the adults.
