Be Aware Of These Senior Illnesses!

The older we get the more we find ourselves being assaulted with diseases and ailments that may well kill us. Below is a brief discussion of a four common illnesses that seniors should be aware of:

CANCER - Many seniors are affected by cancer at some time in their lives. Lung and breast cancer are the most common types found in seniors, however, skin cancer is also a major concern among seniors. Although cancer can be treated with some success by modern medicine the more you age the less chance for full recovery. Keep in mind cancer detected in its early stage gives you, the senior, the best chance of recovery.

DEMENTIA - Dementia affects a large number of the elderly. Dementia is the result of a serious decrease in brain activity. What causes dementia is still unknown and therefore difficult to treat. Alzheimer's is the most common form of the
illness.

PARKINSON'S DISEASE - Parkinson's disease like dementia attacks the cells leading to the brain, however, the difference is that Parkinson's attacks the body and later the mind. In most cases the first sign is an uncontrollable shaking. There is no cure and medication is effective for only a short time .

DIABETES - Because the way seniors eat and live today many more are suffering from diabetes. The ageing body fights against the high fat and sugar intake. The disease is incurable, however, it can be controlled with medication and a
proper diet. The good news is diabetes will not cause death if properly treated. The bad news is amputation is a common side effect of illness caused by open wounds.
