rain health is an important topic these days. It is estimated that at least 5 million people have dementia in the United States; worldwide, it is close to 50 million people! Most adults know someone suffering from one form or another. The primary type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease and it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It kills

more people than breast and prostate cancer combined. Between 2000 and 2018, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease increased by 146%! One out of every three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. The cost emotionally and medically is staggering. Medically, the cost this year will be about $300 billion and it is estimated by the year 2050, it will be over $1 trillion.
