Alzheimer's

 
November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging. It is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and cognitive decline serious enough to interfere with daily life. It's also, according to the Centers for Disease Control, the 6th top cause of death in the United States. One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. 

Getting an early diagnosis greatly increases you opportunity of various treatment options. Staying active, eating a healthy diet and staying socially connected are all shown to help in decreasing your risk.
