On the counter many kind of chili souce to adding our meals such as sriracha, many kinds of tabasco, mild and extra hot, spicy mayonnaise, and chili pepper mixed.
We also can ask slices fresh jalapeno to employee in behind the counter.
Then, there is such a warning!
Yes, in another side, the researchers from University of South Australia found out that a spicy diet could be linked to dementia.
A study conducted for 15 years, and for 4582 Chinese adults in China with age over 55. They found that “who consume more than 50 grams chili in a day, they had almost double the risk of memory decline and poor cognition” (Dr Zumin Shi).
And it's more significant for the thinner persons or lower mass index. Thus, proper amount is good, but bad for consume great amount chili every day.

Spicy Food and Alzheimer's Disease – Part 1 - Alzheimer's 14
Chili
pepper is used the most for flavoring in many cuisine in the
worldwide. It is about three quarters (75%) of population in this
word using any kind of chili.
This substance will add flavor, heat and even complicity to foods. Chili peppers might be applied in a variety of ways. In the market, chili peppers could be fresh, dried and powdered.
Surprisingly, there are more than 200 chemical compounds in the pepper, including capsaicin.
Capsaicin is the component that has responsible for “spicy” taste. This is a chemical irritant which attached to a receptor on our tongue. The more capsaicin compound in the chili, so the chili will be spicier.

Another one loves to reach a smart phone to get daily quote from apps or just read new messages from someones.
We have favorite friends with Alzheimer's who have favorite words. They always say these words to answer our questions or just a sentence that they want to say or let’s know.
Let's call them Mrs Anderson and Mrs Brown, both of them with wheelchairs, eighties year old, both could not recognize a single person but they still know their name.
Mrs Anderson still able to talk, the words clear, but has no meaning or no purposes at all.
Every time she said something to us or ask something to us, whatever the answers she will spontaneous move her wheelchair and said, “Let's go!”

“Let's go” and “Let's play” - Part 1 - Alzheimer's 13
We had a short conversation after finished a route walk in Walk to End Alzheimer's. This is a kind of routine exercise, almost every day.
The most interesting in the conversation is the favorite words in the loved one with Alzheimer's disease.
In the stage of Alzheimer's with the sign lose words, some favorite words will remain in memory cells.
I have my favorite words, or a phrase. Sure, It does not a bad word, or curse :)
Some of us in the that group of conversation said that they have some words to spell too when they just get up in the morning to give them the strength, to make the day brighter and happier.
Some of us, get up and reach rosary to say some words. We, sometimes just stare at the 3 crucial words “LOVE, HOPE, FAITH” in beautiful frame sit on the nightstand.

Joker, PBA, and Alzheimer's Disease – Part 3 - Alzheimer's 12
You may read previous posts (Part 1 and Part 2):
- Joker, PBA, and Alzheimer's Disease – Part 2 - Alzheimer's 12
PBA is caused by a result of injury or trauma or disease that disrupts pathways in expression of emotion, which are the corticobulbar tracts and basal ganglia.
Symptoms of PBA commonly occur in people diagnosed with Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke.
PBA is often unrecognized at the beginning, however, the study from PRISM obtained data about PBA: approximately 2 million Americans are diagnosed with PBA, and over 7 million people are thought to have symptoms of PBA.
From their trial result, it was about 30% of patient with Alzheimer's Disease also have symptoms of PBA.
One thing I have learned from the buzzing of Joker movie today.
Alzheimer's Disease is not only about forgetfulness but also about displacement in the expression of their emotions.

Absolutely, Joker is associated to laugh. Out of control, improper and strange laughing.
It was a nice talk with Connie about the character in the movie. The laugh of Joker, uncontrollable laugh, is a sign of his mental disorder, actually.
Wondering about his uncontrollable laugh, we just googled it. We found that suddenly and involuntary outburst of laughing and /or crying in an exaggerated manner or inappropriately is one of signs of Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA).
The episodes of PBA can last for several minutes and often occur many times in a day.
Uncontrollable laughing and/or crying often occur with unrelated to mood state or social context, so this episodes can be troublesome in everyday life.
