June is Alzheimer's & Brain Health Awareness Month

According to the Alzheimer's Association, "Research shows that physiological changes marking the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease can begin up to 20 years before measurable cognitive impairment. Because these early changes may be influenced, in part, by lifestyle behaviors during younger years, the benefits of nurturing brain health are not just for older adults, but important across the entire lifespan."
