Wellness Dining's New Initiatives Against Cognitive Decline

In a proactive effort to address concerns related to cognitive decline and dementia, Wellness Dining, headquartered in Tokyo, has teamed up with Eisai and Lawson to launch a series of initiatives in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, starting June 11. This collaboration aims to raise awareness and provide resources for individuals to better understand the risks associated with cognitive disorders and the importance of early detection.

Key Initiatives

1. Head Health Seminars

To kick off this partnership, the companies will host "Head Health Seminars" designed to educate community members about Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia. These seminars will take place in select Lawson stores in Imabari, utilizing community spaces to create an enjoyable and informative setting.

• - Dates: June 11, with sessions at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
• - Location: Imabari Bakomachi 3-Chome Lawson Store.

For those unable to attend in person, seminar content will be broadcasted on monitors at nearby Lawson locations, ensuring that a wider audience can benefit from this valuable information.

2. Special Delivery Meals

Wellness Dining will also introduce its “Omoide Irodori Delivery Meals,” specially designed to cater to cognitive function needs, available in select Lawson stores in Imabari. Developed with support from the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology and based on scientifically backed nutritional guidance for reducing dementia risks, these meals are both nutritious and easy to enjoy.

• - Launch Date: June 11.
• - Available Locations: Imabari Bakomachi 3-Chome store, Imabari Benamesho store, Hakata Island Inter store, and more.

Sample menus for these meal options highlight the commitment to health and enjoyment in dining, proving that maintaining cognitive health doesn’t have to compromise taste.

3. Nou KNOW® Short Version

Eisai will offer a version of their “Nou KNOW” tool, a user-friendly cognitive assessment that utilizes simple card tests on PCs, tablets, or smartphones. This allows individuals to assess their cognitive abilities, including attention, visual learning, and memory, quickly and easily in the comfort of their home or during routine health checks.

• - Launch Date: June 11, and available for six months at selected Lawson locations.
• - Price: 550 JPY (incl. tax).

This initiative aims to promote regular self-assessment of cognitive function, empowering individuals to take initiative regarding their cognitive health.

Commitment to Health

Wellness Dining is dedicated to promoting health through dietary choices, striving for a society where everyone can enjoy meals while maintaining well-being, irrespective of age or health conditions. The collaboration with Eisai and Lawson represents a vital step toward making resources for cognitive function and dietary health more accessible in everyday settings.

With this initiative, the partners strive to enhance public awareness regarding cognitive health and foster discussions around daily nutrition, thereby contributing to an overall improvement in health consciousness among the community.
