November is #AlzheimersAndBrainAwarenessMonth, a time to shine a purple light for the millions of people living with Alzheimers disease. #NizhoniHealthSystems would like to shed light on this disease that affects the life of millions of people, burdening families with not only the added role of providing care for their loved ones, but also with the frustration of having a very limited understanding on how to deal with it. Alzheimers disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline. A neurodegenerative type of #Dementia, the disease starts mild and gets progressively worse. While there is no cure for Alzheimers disease and no treatment to reverse or halt its progression, there are medicines available that can help treat symptoms in some people. There are also ways to prevent and reduce the risk of getting it. Like the health of your body, the health of your brain depends on many factors. While some factors, such as your genes, are out of your control, many powerful lifestyle factors are within your sphere of influence like regular exercise, a healthy diet, staying mentally and socially active, and keeping stress in check.When you lead a brain-healthy life style, your brain will stay working stronger and healthier.
