Do you have a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s who can’t remember the simplest things – like who you are? Are you a caregiver to someone who has difficulty remembering? Being a caregiver or having a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s is physically, mentally and emotionally stressful. Author Eric Anderson and Roger Moore will be at Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo, Washington talking about Reapproaching Dementia and Alzheimer’s on Tuesday, August 23, 2011, at 6:00 PM. I hope that you will come.

Remember
“I Can’t Remember”

To quote a favorite movie line, “The greatest thing to ever learn is just to love and be loved in return”….and that was our life with Grandma Helen. Every morning she was a bright light of pure joy. “Aren’t we lucky…we are so blessed….isn’t it beautiful.” She must have said that a dozen times a day. Caregiving at times was very taxing and often we just felt incredibly exhausted, but then we’d go up to her and say “Hello beautiful” Her face would light up with a beaming smile….she’d squeeze our hand and all our fatigue would disappear. She was like magic….How could we be so lucky…she was truly our blessing. God sent us our own angel…a tiny little 86 pound lady with dementia. How amazing is that. ~ Eric Anderson

Eric Anderson will be discussing the aspect of dementia that we can control: How we respond to it and the importance of being an advocate for our loved one. Roger Moore will be teaching stress reduction and relaxation techniques for caregivers and family members.

If you are a caregiver or have a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s, you will want to hear Eric Anderson and Roger Moore together.

Excess Weight in Middle Age Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease

WebMD, May 2, 2011: Carrying around extra pounds during middle age was associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease later in life. The findings, published in the journal Neurology, suggest that control of body fat as early as middle life is important to prevent dementia later in life.

Close to one in three of the participants were overweight or obese in middle age. And those that were had about an 80 percent higher chance of getting any kind of dementia than people of normal weight. The more participants weighed in mid-life, the higher their chance of getting dementia or “questionable dementia” – meaning they had signs of thinking and reasoning problems, but not enough to be diagnosed with dementia.

Extra weight has been shown to increase a person’s risk for diabetes and heart and blood vessel diseases – and those conditions are related to a higher dementia risk. However, the link between weight and dementia remained even after the researchers took other diseases into account.

The findings are the latest evidence that preventing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia starts long before their signs and symptoms typically show up. People need to understand that what they do today could have an effect on them 30 or 40 years from now. When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight what’s good for the heart is good for the brain.
