Alzheimer's Awareness Month
November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. Do you know someone with this devastating disease? With 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, it will likely impact your life in some way. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the United Stated and the 5th leading cause in those aged 65 and older.
There are several steps you can take to prevent this disease.
Keep your heart healthy by exercising and eating a healthy diet- some studies show that as many as 80 percent of Alzheimer’s patients also have cardiovascular disease.
Maintain social connections and intellectual activity- studies indicate that having strong social connections and keeping mentally active as we age might lower the risk of mental decline.
Prevent head trauma- Wear a seat belt and use a helmet when participating in sports or bicycling. There appears to be a strong link between risks of Alzheimer’s and head trauma.
