June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month

June is designated as Alzheimer and Brain Awareness Month. Wear purple to help raise awareness of this devastating disease. 

Several studies suggest using these ten ways to love your brain:

 1. Break a sweat

 2. Hit the books

3 “Butt Out” (reduce cigarette smoking)

4. Follow you heart

5. Heads up

6. Fuel Up (Healthy Eating)

7. Catch some zzzz’s

 8. Take Care of your Mental Health

9. Stump Yourself

10. Buddy Up

It is never too late, or too early to start thinking about your brain’s health.
