Brain Health & Public Wellness
By: Health Education Team | Date: June 2, 2026
June shines a purple light on a critical public health conversation: brain health and Alzheimerโs disease. This month, the Health Education Team is sharing foundational facts to help you understand dementia risks, spot early signs, and protect your mind.
Key Facts You Need to Know
-The Scope: Over 6.9 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimerโs.
-Early Detection Matters: While there is no cure, catching it early dramatically improves quality of life and future care planning.
-Caregiver Health: Nearly 11 million Americans provide unpaid dementia care. Caregiver wellbeing is just as vital as patient care.
5 Modifiable Risk Factors
You can actively lower your risk of cognitive decline by managing these five lifestyle pillars:
-Sleep: Prioritize restful, consistent sleep.
-Exercise: Keep moving to boost blood flow to the brain.
-Diet: Eat a brain-healthy, nutrient-dense diet.
-Social Connection: Stay actively engaged with friends and community.
-Blood Pressure: Manage your cardiovascular health to protect brain tissue.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Dementia goes beyond normal aging or simple forgetfulness. Key red flags include:
-Mood & Personality Changes: Increased confusion, anxiety, or depression.
-Poor Judgment: Difficulty managing money or falling for scams.
-Spatial Disorientation: Getting lost in familiar places.
