June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging. Let's learn, share, and together.
What can we do to promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline? Here are a few tips:
Stay physically active: Exercise is good for the body and the brain. Regular physical activity can help improve cognitive function.
Eat a healthy diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
Stay mentally active: Keep your brain engaged by doing puzzles, playing games, or learning something new. Mental stimulation can help improve cognitive function.
Stay socially active: Social isolation and loneliness can have negative effects on cognitive function. Stay connected with friends and family, join a club or organization, or volunteer in your community.

Use the EPA’s search tool to find the right repellent for you and your family members: https://www.epa.gov/insect-repellents/find-repellent-right-you
