A story from Enzyme Experts on March 21 reports 5.2 million Americans now have Alzheimer’s disease, but the data on memory impairment doesn’t stop there.

In fact, according to a mid-March story from HealthDay, 5.4 million Americans over 70 have memory loss that affects their daily lives, and 3.5 million Americans have dementia, the more serious form of cognitive dysfunction.

ABC news says Alzheimer’s disease and strokes are causes of dementia. While some reports say exercise and brain-stimulating activities, such as crossword puzzles, protect against the onset of Alzheimer’s, the ABC report also mentions controlling hypertension and diabetes as ways to avoid mental decline.

As reported in the Enzyme Experts story, WellZymes™ Mental Focus™ is a great option for maintaining memory, concentration and energy. Also, to improve focus, performance and memory, ask your health care practitioner about BioSET™ Brain.

Because a healthy lifestyle is so important, especially for baby boomers and other seniors, it’s imperative to complement physical and mental exercise with highly nutritious foods and nutritional supplements.

For energy and enhanced immunity, the WellZymes™ line features several products that help the body properly break down food and assimilate nutrients. For overall health and vitality, WellZymes™ Antioxidant, Immune Health and Cardiovascular Health are excellent options.
