Treating them as an individual makes easier to be aware of their preferences. Many individuals with dementia can make their own choices in what they like to eat and drink. Individuals with severe dementia may not be able to make their own choices therefore we can inform them, and if they are unable to communicate or tell us anything sometimes we can show them the options. By asking the individuals family we can also see what they like and observing them can tell us what they like better than other things. 3.1 Demonstrate how the knowledge of life history of an individual with dementia has been used to provide a diet that meets his/her
Effects of stress on Hypertension Stress effects a variety of different topics such as blood pressure, anxiety, change in behavior, and many more topics the list goes on and on. Most people are unaware of the effects stress has on your body. They try to down play it as nothing is wrong, but it fact stress can really put a toll on your body and the way you act. The topic that’s going to be talked about that stress effects is Hypertension. Hypertension and stress go hand in hand; stress has a direct effect on hypertension.
This means for the individual who has dementia, that the means and importance of food can be forgotten or that they just forget that they are hungry, or forget to eat what has been prepared. The same applies to drinking. With old people who are prone to malnutrition and dehydration this can become more of a problem with dementia putting their health at risk. Functional change is losing ability to remember how to eat using cutlery. Instead some people find it easier to pick up food by hand, so finger food should be provided.
Having less oxygen in the bloodstream could cause the organs in your body to stop working which can lead to death. Taking breaks during exercising is necessary. As rates in your body increase a process called negative feedback is put into place. During negative feedback the effectors and receptors in our body come together making sure that our body system is at a steady state. Relaxing after exercising is extremely important, homeostatic mechanisms help to bring the body back to its original state.
happy, sad, angry, or excited. The body is the part that responds to what we think, e.g. movement of muscles from one place to another. Without our brain telling our body what to do, we wouldn’t be able to do it. The explanation for the mind is different to the explanation for the brain, although it can be said that they are the same thing, and nothing more.
The autonomic system mainly controls functions that we have less conscious control over. These include the digestion of food, the blood pressure and the heart rate; these are split into two branches called the sympathetic and the parasympathetic branches. The sympathetic branch activates the glands and organs that defend the body against attack, when faced with a stressor the body releases more adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream drawing blood away from the stomach and extremities of the body and dilating the pupils of the eyes which initiates a 'fight' or 'flight' reaction, this prepares the body to deal with the stressor before returning to normal. When stress occurs regularly the body maintains this state instead of returning to normal causing
Our deep subconscious mind thus gives us strong biochemical prods when we face some kind of danger (such as the fight-or-flight reaction)” Control is so much deeper, and significant than not getting things the way we want in life. Locus of control is a necessity not only for balance and order, but as research shows, even an essential for survival. Dr. Siegel defines “locus of control” for us in his own words: “There is a principle of locus of control whereby we tend to attribute control in our lives either internally (I have control) or externally (others control my life). People with an internal locus of control are more proactive and self-motivated. External attribution leads more to passivity and belief in fate or luck.” (Siegel) Early on in the novel as we are getting to know Noah
So, in order to activate these neurotransmitters, we must identify which we are lacking and carry out activities that balance the system. Keep in mind the metaphor from earlier; just like a muscle we can only control as much as we work towards. Slowly but surely, you must increase your ability to be happy in progressively more negative situations. What I’m saying is that metaphorically, psychologically, and scientifically, happiness is a personal
And we all know that sleep well can reduces stress and improves memory function. Moreover, getting a good sleep can reduce illness and disease. There are some personal wellness goals I hope to achieve. Eating: I will have breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. And eat fruit and vegetables every day to keep diet.
Another ways is to manage your sleeping habits. The last way is taking control over certain situations. I believe these ways are effective, because when I’?m stressed I try to exercise and I also try to get enough sleep to feel relaxed when I wake up. There is a clear connection between what you eat and drink, overall health and well-being, and stress. Eating a lot of junk food will add pounds to your body and reduce your energy level (Barefoot & Gardner, 2012).
