Since June is Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Brain Awareness Month, it\u2019s the ideal time to talk about this disease and ways to potentially reduce the risk of its development. Keep reading to learn about signs and symptoms, how to spread awareness, and tips for focusing on brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alzheimer\u2019s is a disease that initially begins to destroy memory. Over time, it also affects the parts of the brain responsible for thinking and reasoning, language comprehension, and social behavior. People with Alzheimer\u2019s experience changes in personality and lose the ability to carry out simple, daily tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the most common cause of dementia in older adults, though it\u2019s not a normal part of aging. And while the causes of Alzheimer\u2019s remain unclear, the disease is likely to be the result of a combination of determinants that include genetics, health and lifestyle factors, and age-related changes in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs &amp; Symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indicators of Alzheimer\u2019s can vary but often begin with memory issues. Some people may forget recent conversations or events or have difficulty finding the right words when speaking. Other symptoms can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visual or spatial difficulties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeating questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems with decision making and reasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mood or personality changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Losing or misplacing items in strange spots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased aggression or anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with Alzheimer\u2019s may also have difficulty performing everyday tasks like paying bills, handling money, driving, or getting dressed. They are also often confused by simple things and easily get lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Brain Health<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer\u2019s disease. But certain brain-healthy habits and lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of developing the disease or help slow its progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exercise.<\/strong> Research indicates that regular physical activity, particularly aerobic workouts, can lower the risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Be social.<\/strong> Spending time with family and friends defends against depression, which can hasten memory loss. Social isolation has also been shown to diminish thinking skills, increasing the risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get enough sleep.<\/strong> Quality sleep recharges the body, improves memory, and keeps the mind alert. Aim for 7\u20139 hours of restful sleep each night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prioritize health.<\/strong> Some medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, can increase the risk of developing memory problems. Talk to your doctor to learn how to manage any ongoing medical concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Engage your brain.<\/strong> Keep your mind sharp with activities that encourage thinking, memory, and problem solving. Do puzzles and crosswords, read, learn a new hobby or language, or volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promoting Alzheimer\u2019s Awareness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Brain Awareness Month, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/a> encourages people to learn about and talk about Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The more we know about this disease, the more we stay focused on eliminating stigmas and promoting research to find a cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the ways you can help include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sharing personal stories on social media of how the disease has affected you, your loved ones, or someone you know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosting or attending a fundraiser event to raise money for Alzheimer\u2019s research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wearing purple during Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Brain Awareness Month to show support for the cause.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Becoming an advocate by talking to local policymakers or distributing resource materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support in Our Southview Communities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southviewcommunities.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southview Senior Communities<\/a>, we provide a host of activities and amenities to ensure residents live their best and most comfortable lives.
