The Seventh Pillar of Protecting Yourself Against Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s Walk-A-Thon
Paying careful attention to early signs of Dementia is imperative to be responsive if you think someone you know may be at risk. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe
enough to interfere with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer’s is the most common type of Dementia. LIVEWELL Private Care supports research driven organizations like The Alzheimer’s Association whose mission is to, “Eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.”
There is currently no cure for the Alzheimer’s disease but there are a couple of ways that LIVEWELL Private Care helps our clientele by applying therapeutic techniques. Promising research shows that you can reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and other dementias through a combination of healthy habits. Methods to incorporate to help prevent Alzheimer’s include the following Six Pillars:
1. Participate in regular exercise
2. Commit to a healthy diet
3. Engage in mental stimulation (like crossword puzzle, dominos, etc.)
4. Continuous quality sleep patterns
5. Apply stress management techniques
6. Maintain an active social life
The seventh pillar happened on September 13, 2015 when LIVEWELL Private Care team members laced up their shoes and raised donations towards a cause affecting people we love and care about. When you participate in a Walk, your fundraising dollars fuel their mission-related initiatives of care, support and research. It also brings awareness to communities. Championing the joy of aging is an active ingredient that makes up LIVEWELL Private Care. We were very happy to be out to support a cause that aligns with our own.
