According to the World's Alzheimer's report, More than 35 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. Barring a medical breakthrough, the World Alzheimer Report projects dementia will nearly double every 20 years. By 2050, it will affect a staggering 115.4 million people, the report concludes.

"The number of people affected by Alzheimer's is growing at a rapid rate, and the increasing personal costs will have significant impact on the world's economies and health care systems. We must make the fight against Alzheimer's a priority here in the United States and worldwide," said Harry Johns, President and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association. "We must take action against Alzheimer's now."

There are a many preventative measures against Alzheimer's one of which is called the Okinawa method created by the village in Okinawa that has the most numbers of centenarian (people over 100) in the world. It promotes wellness, memory exercise and good health which has proven to reduce Alzheimer's and dementia and also add extra years to your life. I know that there's a program for home care based on the Okinawa method called the balanced care method.

What does the Okinawa Balanced Care Method consist of? With the population aging and baby boomers in their 60's preventative measure is the key.
