Creating Positive Impact in Combating Alzheimer’s and Dementia-Related Disease
CaringKind, a leading expert on Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving, today announced the launch of the Blue Zones Challenge in the Bronx, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at helping people adopt healthier lifestyles to help reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The Blue Zones Challenge is evidence-based and built on research from Blue Zones, the company known for identifying and researching the “blue zones”, or the regions of the world where people live extraordinarily long and healthy lives with low rates of chronic disease.
Starting today and running through May 27, 2025, CaringKind and Blue Zones are bringing the healthy lifestyle habits of the longest-lived regions of the world to a small group of caregivers, individuals with dementia, and others interested in brain health. Through the challenge, a select cohort of Bronx residents and a select cohort of individuals living with dementia outside the Bronx will participate in a four-week program to jumpstart the journey towards better health with access to resources, community support, and self-assessments to track their progress in adopting these practices. This program will include tracking Blue Zones activities daily and improving social connections and one’s surroundings to support healthy behaviors.
