⚠️Wear a helmet or appropriate headgear when practicing certain sports.
⚠️Talk to your doctor to review any medicines making you sleepy or dizzy.

Protecting your brain from injury is a great way to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and prevent potentially fatal accidents.

What is one symptom of Alzheimer’s disease?
Losing track of time or current location. 🕜 📍

It is normal to occasionally forget what day it is but to quickly figure it out after a glance at a calendar. Those in the early stages of Alzheimer’s may become confused about what day, year, or season it is. They can also get confused about their current location or forget how they got there.

If you or your loved one is experiencing any symptoms, seeking medical attention is crucial for getting proper care.
