As more Americans live longer, maintaining brain health is becoming an increasingly important part of overall well-being. During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, and throughout the year, there’s growing awareness that there are simple, everyday ways to support brain health as we age.
Research estimates that around 10% of the 65+ population are living with some form of dementia, and 1 in 9 Americans age 65 and older is living with Alzheimer’s disease. While the numbers are growing, so is our understanding of the small steps within our control that can help delay or even prevent the onset of dementia.
