Lorelines- The Taste of a Sweet Memory

My name is Jennifer Lemmons, and I’m the owner of Lorelines, A North Carolina Confection Company. I started Lorelines in 2011 after learning my grandmother, Lorelei White, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. We launched our business with two goals: (1) grow our business and (2) incorporate a philanthropic model into our business that will continue to honor my grandmother for many years to come.

We’ve had steady growth over the last few years and are now ready for part 2. We’ve chosen Alzheimers North Carolina as our partner and are creating some awesome projects this year!

Our biggest project is a gift basket program that Lorelines and 7 other small businesses have put together to benefit Alzheimers North Carolina.

The average income of seniors in the U.S. has increased nearly 12 percent since 2009 to $46,361 in 2012 despite the global financial crisis.

Wealthy “baby boomers” in the U.S. tend to have a higher disposable income, partly due to their stock market investments during the 1980s and 1990s.

10 surprising Alzheimer’s predictors

Heart history

Trouble with the vascular system is linked to Alzheimer’s. High blood pressure, especially in midlife, increases your risk. So can your heart history. People who have previously had a heart attack are more than twice as likely to develop dementia, whether it’s Alzheimer’s or another type. Weiner emphasizes the importance of controlling your blood pressure. Decreasing stress also helps lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
