June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month

Did you know that there are more than 55 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia?

This month, we encourage you to take action for yourself, your loved ones, and the fight against Alzheimer's.

Here are some actions you can commit to taking:

1. Take charge of your brain health: Make it a priority to prioritize brain health in your daily life. This can include activities like regular exercise, a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and staying mentally and socially active.

2. Go purple and raise Alzheimer's awareness: Wear purple or use purple accessories to show your support for Alzheimer's awareness. Share information about Alzheimer's and brain health on social media, and encourage others to get involved too.

3. Get involved: Join local or national organizations that are dedicated to Alzheimer's research and support. Volunteer your time, participate in fundraising events, or advocate for policies that benefit those affected by Alzheimer's.

4. Invest in your future: Consider making a financial contribution to Alzheimer's research or support organizations. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference in the fight against this disease.

5. Share your story: If you or someone you know has been affected by Alzheimer's or memory concerns, share your story. By sharing personal experiences, you can raise awareness, reduce stigma, and inspire others to take action. Remember, it's never too early or too late to start taking actions that promote brain health.

Learn more about brain health and discover the steps you can take to support your own well-being and the well-being of those around you. Incorporate healthy habits into your life and share them with others. Let's all come together this month to make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's and promote brain health. https://www.alz.org/help-support/brain_health/10-healthy-habits-for-your-brain
