Memory loss isn’t the only sign of Alzheimer’s. 🧠

Early changes can show up in unexpected ways — like difficulty finding the right words, struggling to follow a conversation or losing track of familiar tasks.

What many don’t realize: Alzheimer’s begins affecting the brain years before noticeable memory problems appear. Recognizing subtle changes early can make a meaningful difference in care and support.

Your lungs don’t just help you breathe; they also clean themselves. Tiny hair-like structures called cilia sweep out dust, bacteria and other particles every few seconds, like little brooms protecting your airways.

But here’s the catch: smoking, air pollution and even long-term exposure to secondhand smoke can slow this natural cleaning system, making your lungs more vulnerable.

The good news? Your cilia can begin to recover once harmful exposures are reduced. Another reason it’s never too late to take care of your lungs! 💙
