Not All Dementia Is Called Alzheimer's
Vascular cognitive impairment impedes ability to organize thoughts, but it is preventable
(HealthDay News) -- A common form of dementia often mistaken for Alzheimer's can be prevented with good health habits, a new report says.
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), the second most common cause of dementia, occurs in up to 4 percent of Americans over age 65 and up to 20 percent of those with some form of dementia. Brain damage from multiple small strokes, which can occur from narrowing or blocked arteries in the brain, are often the cause of VCI.
An overview of the disease, published in the December issue of
Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource
, notes that people can greatly reduce their risk of developing the disease by lowering their blood pressure, quitting smoking, and keeping diabetes and cholesterol levels under control.
VCI shares Alzheimer's symptoms such as confusion, agitation, language and memory problems, and unsteady gait and falls. However, the first symptom of VCI usually is the declining ability to organize thoughts or actions. In Alzheimer's, memory problems are usually the first sign of the condition.

I did a lot of research before buying from Vitacost.com. I found that you had the lowest prices of any online or local retailer for the product I purchased. Not only was the price less expensive but the quality was equal or greater than the others as well. Thanks for the great service=21 I would definitely recommend your website.
