June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia while promoting brain health for people of all ages. With an estimated 55 million people worldwide living with dementia, this month is crucial for education, early detection, and fostering understanding.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases. It is a progressive brain disorder that impairs memory, thinking, and behavior. While it primarily affects older adults, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. Early detection and intervention can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals and their caregivers.
Whether you’re directly impacted by Alzheimer’s or simply want to contribute to the cause, here are several meaningful ways to get involved this June:
Prevention and awareness extend beyond those directly affected by Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association encourages everyone to adopt brain-healthy habits early. Start small by adding more fruits and vegetables to your meals or taking a 30-minute walk each day.
Every action—big or small—contributes to the global effort to tackle Alzheimer’s disease. From raising awareness to funding research, your involvement makes a difference. For more resources and information, visit Alzheimer’s Association or contact a local chapter near you.
Let’s unite this June to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s and advocate for a healthier future for all. Together, we can work toward breakthroughs in treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
