Let's talk about Alzheimer's Disease.

This Alzheimer's Awareness Month, let's acknowledge the incredible challenges faced by families living with this disease. Alzheimer's, a brain disease affecting millions, can rob individuals of their memories and independence.

We offer our deepest appreciation to the family members who serve as caregivers. Their dedication, patience and love provide immeasurable support to those living with Alzheimer's.

Together, we can make a difference:
• Learn about Alzheimer's: Understand the signs and symptoms to provide early support.
• Talk openly: Discuss Alzheimer's with friends and family to raise awareness.
• Support a cure: Contribute to organizations researching treatments and a cure.

For families in South Carolina, the Alzheimer's Association SC Chapter offers free help and information. Visit https://www.alz.org/sc to learn more.

November is Healthy Skin Month! 🧴✨

Did you know the colder months can be tough on your skin? As temperatures drop, the air gets drier, and so does our skin. This can lead to flare-ups of skin conditions like eczema and other dryness-related issues. Taking extra care of your skin during the winter is important, especially for children, whose skin can be more sensitive.

Here’s how you can protect your skin this season:
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin moisturized from the inside out.
• Get enough rest: Sleep helps your skin heal and stay healthy.
• Moisturize daily: Use a good lotion or cream after showers to lock in moisture. Don’t forget the kids—moisturizing their skin is just as important!
• Eat skin-friendly foods: Foods rich in Vitamin C (like oranges), Vitamin E (like nuts and seeds), and Omega-3s(like fish) help keep your skin glowing and strong.

Healthy habits now can keep your skin happy all winter long. For more tips and information, visit the American Academy of Dermatology’s website: www.aad.org.

Flu season is upon us, and it's more important than ever to get your flu shot. The flu can be a serious illness, especially for young children, older adults, and people with chronic health conditions.

Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu. It's also a quick and easy way to stay healthy this fall and winter.

Here are some of the benefits of getting your flu shot:
✔️ Reduces your risk of getting the flu by up to 60%
✔️ Can make the flu milder if you do get it
✔️ Protects those around you who can't get vaccinated, such as young children and people with weakened immune systems

As a Healthy Blue member, you get your flu shot for free! Simply contact your doctor to schedule an appointment.

Don't wait until it's too late. Get your flu shot today!

Happy Halloween from Healthy Blue! 🎃👻

As you and your little ghosts and goblins get ready for Halloween, remember these safety tips:

• Candy Safety: Look closely at candy before giving it to kids. Make sure no one has opened or messed with it.

• Costume Safety: Choose costumes that are flame-resistant and fit well to avoid trips and falls.

• Mask Safety: Select masks or face coverings that do not block vision and allow for easy breathing.

• Safe Treats: Offer healthy options like fruit, nuts or granola bars instead of candy.

• Go with a Buddy: Always trick-or-treat with an adult or trusted friend.

• Stay Aware: Be aware of your surroundings and only visit well-lit homes.

• Road Safety: Use sidewalks when available. Trick-or-treat during daylight or early evening hours. Only visit houses with their front porch lights on.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!
