World Alzheimer's Day

Healthnews-stat.com



Author Susan Berg says "It is everyone’s duty to embrace this day because there is no time to lose when fighting the battle of preventing this terrible disease." Here are some simple things you can do

What do you know about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias?

How can you decrease your chances of getting these disease?

How can you help someone with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia?

This year’s theme is 'Faces of Dementia!'
Yes, there is an urgency for all to learn about these diseases and do what they can to prevent them in themselves. Also legislators need to contacted so more funds can be allocated for research. World Alzheimer’s day, on Sept 21, is the perfect time to do this.

Approximately 5.5 million people in the United States already have Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. The number will continue to grow as the baby boomers reach the age of retirement.

What can you do right now to lessen your chances of getting these diseases?

1. Stop smoking! There is nothing positive about smoking. Studies have shown that smoking not only raises your chances of developing dementia, but it also increases your chances of getting other diseases.

2. Eat a healthy diet. Research suggests that the Mediterranean diet staves off the onset of dementia

3. Keep mentally active. Again studies have shown this, to be a way to delay the onset of dementia.

4. Keep physically active. Research indicates that moderate exercise at least a half an hour three times a week is another way to keep dementia from affecting you.

How can you help others?

Donate to the Alzheimer’s Association. Give your time and/ or money. Help with special events. Organize fund raisers.

Susan Berg has written a book called, Adorable Photographs of Our Baby, for those with dementia, their caregivers, and interested professionals.
She is donating money to the Alzheimer’s Association for each book she sells. She is passionate about educating others on these diseases. Visit her blog at http://dementiaviews.blogspot.com.

You or someone you know could develop symptoms tomorrow. The cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is expensive monetarily, physically, emotionally, and psychologically.


So please acknowledge World Alzheimer’s Day, September 21

The Dementia Caregiver's Little Book of Hope [Kindle Edition

Alzheimer's Association

This week, show your support of the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by going purple! Friday is Alzheimer’s Action Day, an opportunity to support the Alzheimer’s Association^® and help raise awareness of this devastating disease during World Alzheimer’s Month.

On Sept. 21, wear purple, the color of the Alzheimer’s movement, to honor the more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and the millions more who care for them. Here are some ways you can go purple and take action:

Wear your support!  Pull out your purple and wear it with pride. Need more gear? • Check out our shirts, wrist bands and other purple items at Shop for a Cause. • This month, CJ Free is proud to introduce a limited edition bracelet to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. In recognition of World Alzheimer’s Month, 20% of the sales price of bracelets sold from now until September 30 will benefit the Association.

Make a winning bid!  Take part in two eBay auctions running through Sept. 27 to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association: • Win a guitar signed by legendary singer Glen Campbell - now touring the country - who is living with Alzheimer’s disease. • Meet Celebrity Champion Seth Rogen as a VIP guest at the "Hilarity for Charity" fundraising event next spring.

In addition, eBay will feature the Alzheimer’s Association from September 17-23, and users will have the option to donate $1 or more at checkout to the Alzheimer’s Association when buying and selling on eBay.

Watch “Who Wants to be a Millionaire!” Watch the week of Sept. 17 to see contestants compete on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association. Spread the word and ask your friends and family to tune in.

Share on social media! Talk about World Alzheimer’s Month and Alzheimer’s Action Day on your social networks. Turn Facebook purple by changing your profile picture to our END ALZ icon. And become a fan of the Alzheimer’s Association on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and join our community board on Pinterest.

Raise awareness! Because of misinformation or confusion, some people may hold those with Alzheimer’s disease and their families at arm’s length. But by educating others about the reality of Alzheimer’s, we can dispel the misconceptions. Speak up and tell others why you support the cause.
