brain health; Alzheimers
It makes sense as we age that we want to keep our brains active, but did you know that it’s just as important to keep your body physically fit?
As if COVID-19 isn’t scary enough, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is telling us what many family caregivers for people living with Alzheimer’s disease already know: the social isolation that the coronavirus requires is having a detrimental impact on our loved ones living with dementia. It’s a statistic they call “deaths above average.”
An all-star panel of experts on women’s brain health and wellness, hosted by AARP Michigan, led a 90-minute virtual event on Dec. 3 that focused on why women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with dementia and what can be done about it.
