Among the main causes of neurodegenerative illnesses include genetic and environmental factors, aberrant proteins, poor diet, and depression.
FREMONT, CA: There are several illnesses known as neurodegenerative diseases, sometimes known as degenerative nerve diseases, that impact how our body functions. Age is usually the cause of many problems, but it's not always the case. According to some studies, the global aging population is one reason why chronic diseases have become more common in recent years. Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are examples of neurodegenerative disorders. Because neurodegenerative illnesses are progressive, they worsen with time. Regretfully, there isn't a treatment at this time, and the condition will continue to worsen.
Some of the major causes of neurodegenerative diseases are listed below:
Genetic and environmental factors: The majority of neurodegenerative disorders lack a definite cause. Long-term exposure to toxins and specific chemicals is one of the environmental and genetic factors that are thought to be responsible for the majority of these illnesses.
Relatives may occasionally pass on faulty genes that increase one's risk of developing a neurological illness.
Damage to neurons: Damage to brain neurons is regarded to be the root cause of neurodegenerative disorders. Neurons comprise the nervous system, which comprises the brain and spinal cord. In contrast to certain other bodily organs, a damaged neuron cannot regenerate. Additionally, these neurons perish with age. In actuality, the brain decreases with age.
These neurons die as a result of neurodegenerative disorders. Individuals suffer from symptoms that impair their ability to clearly move, think, breathe, and communicate when these neurons die.
