wondering: how to prevent or lower the risk of having Dementia/Alzheimer?

I've been thinking a lot lately about brain health, particularly when it comes to preventing or lowering the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's. We hear a lot about staying physically active, eating well, and even skincare routines. But I didn't know much about actively safeguarding our minds. Personally, I've been diving into Sudoku, puzzles, and Tetris. What about you? And I believe even younger people should pay attention to brain health. I'd love to hear more. #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #AlzheimersAwareness #CognitiveHealth #HealthyAging #Health

3-Minute At-Home Test for Alzheimer’s?

Imagine detecting Alzheimer’s way before symptoms hit—all from your living room. UK scientists are buzzing about a new at-home brainwave test called Fastball. It takes just three minutes, uses a simple EEG cap, and can spot early memory issues linked to Alzheimer’s. No tricky questions, just watch images flash by. The best part? You don’t even have to leave your house. Fingers crossed this game-changer comes to the US soon! #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

Could Your Gut Health Affect Alzheimer’s Risk?

Okay, so I’ve been reading up on how our gut bacteria might actually play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, and honestly, it’s kind of blowing my mind. Like, I always thought brain health was just about what you eat or genetics, but now there’s all this research showing your gut microbiome could impact your risk for Alzheimer’s. Some scientists are even looking at ways to diagnose or treat Alzheimer’s by changing gut bacteria! It’s wild to think that something as simple as your diet or probiotics could make a difference. I’m definitely going to pay more attention to my gut health now. Has anyone else heard about this? Would love to know what you think or if you’ve tried anything to boost your gut health! #GutHealth #AlzheimersAwareness #BrainScience #Health #Diet

Your Eye Exam = Early Alzheimer’s Clues?

Mind. Blown. Scientists just found that your annual eye exam could spot early signs of Alzheimer’s—way before you’d notice any memory issues. Apparently, changes in your retinal blood vessels (like them looking twisted or swollen) might be a warning sign. Since your retina is basically an extension of your brain, what’s happening in your eyes could reflect what’s going on upstairs. Next time you get your eyes checked, it might be more than just about your vision! #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

Blood Test Could Change Alzheimer’s Diagnosis

Imagine diagnosing Alzheimer’s with just a blood test! Cleveland Clinic is teaming up with hospitals worldwide to make this a reality. They’re testing blood-based biomarkers in patients 55+ who show memory issues, aiming to catch Alzheimer’s earlier and more accurately. If this works, getting diagnosed could be way easier and faster—no more waiting for complicated scans. Huge step for brain health! #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

Fayetteville's backyard baseball for a cause

In Fayetteville, a backyard baseball field is making a big impact. Sam Perroni transformed his personal field into the annual Field of Dreams tournament, supporting Alzheimer's research. This heartfelt event, inspired by his late wife’s battle with early onset Alzheimer's, brings together five teams to compete while raising funds for the Alzheimer's Association. Last year, Perroni surpassed his $15,000 goal, raising $20,000. This year, he's aiming for $30,000, with every dollar going directly to research. Imagine this event spreading nationwide—what a powerful way to raise awareness and support! #Sports #Fayetteville #AlzheimersAwareness

Could Walking Really Slow Alzheimer’s?

Turns out, your daily walk might be doing way more than just clearing your head. New studies say regular exercise—especially walking—can actually help slow down Alzheimer’s, even for people with the high-risk APOE4 gene. It’s like giving your brain a boost of natural fertilizer (hello, BDNF protein!). Plus, folks with this gene saw even bigger benefits from healthy habits like diet tweaks and moving more. Maybe it’s time to lace up those sneakers! #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

Alzheimer’s Needs More Than Just Hope

Alzheimer’s isn’t just about memory loss—it’s a daily battle for families, not just patients. New drugs like donanemab sound promising, but they’re expensive, risky, and not a cure. Caregivers are the real MVPs, doing unpaid work worth billions, yet support for them is lacking. Instead of just selling hope, it’s time to invest in real help for those living with Alzheimer’s and the people who love them. Let’s change the story from just hope to real support. #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

Apathy = Faster Decline in Alzheimer’s?

Just learned that apathy (yep, that 'meh' feeling) is a huge red flag in Alzheimer’s. Turns out, people who show persistent apathy lose their independence way faster than those who don’t—even more than folks with depression or agitation. It’s not just about memory loss; losing motivation and interest can actually speed up the decline. If you notice someone with Alzheimer’s getting extra checked out, it might be time to pay attention! #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness

New Brain Scan Could Spot Alzheimer’s Early

Imagine catching Alzheimer’s before any symptoms even show up! Scientists just found a brain scan that can detect early signs by spotting tau protein buildup—basically, a warning sign for the disease. But here’s the twist: it only works for Hispanic and White patients, not Black patients, which means there’s still a lot to figure out. Still, this could totally change how we catch and treat Alzheimer’s in the future. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #AlzheimersAwareness
