Today is World Alzheimer's Day and we are going purple. 💜

More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and millions more are caring for them at home every day. Today we stand with every one of them.

Share this post to spread awareness and help us paint the world purple this September.

Myth: memory decline is an unavoidable part of aging that cannot be influenced.

Fact: research says otherwise. A study of more than 45,000 older adults found that social activity participation and intellectual engagement are significant predictors of cognitive function in later life. Put simply, how you spend your time matters for your brain.

Staying socially connected, mentally engaged, and physically active can support cognitive wellness at any age. Learning something new, playing a game, or having a regular conversation with a friend all count.

Tag someone who keeps their mind sharp. 🧠

As we age, the body's natural thirst signal becomes less reliable, which makes it easy to become dehydrated without realizing it. Here are three simple ways to stay on top of it.

💧 Keep a water bottle within reach throughout the day — out of sight, out of mind.

🍋 Add fruit or a squeeze of lemon for flavor — it makes water more enjoyable and easier to drink consistently.

⏰ Set a reminder on your phone or watch — a small nudge goes a long way when thirst cues are not as reliable as they used to be.

Save this post and share it with someone who could use the reminder. 📌

Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the people who show up every single day to care for others, our caregivers, care partners, family members, and everyone who gives so much of themselves in the service of someone they love.

Your work does not go unnoticed. 💜
