November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a time to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s and raise awareness for research, early detection, and caregiver support. 🩷

Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia, affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. Over 6 million Americans are living with the disease.

Early detection can make a big difference — know the signs, start the conversation, and support those living with Alzheimer’s and their families.

The color purple represents Alzheimer’s awareness — wear it proudly to show your support. 💜

Every act of awareness helps — whether it’s learning more, donating, or offering kindness to a caregiver.

Autumn can be a special and meaningful season for older people, offering opportunities for reflection, enjoyment, and connection with nature. Here are some ways older adults can embrace and enjoy autumn:

Autumn is a beautiful time for older adults to enjoy leisurely walks, either in parks or nature trails, to take in the vibrant fall colors. The cooler temperatures can make outdoor activities more comfortable, allowing for peaceful reflection and relaxation.

Older adults can engage in fall-themed activities like visiting pumpkin patches, apple picking, or enjoying a scenic drive to view the changing leaves. These outings can provide a sense of community and enjoyment of the season’s unique charm.

Autumn often evokes memories of past seasons, family gatherings, and traditions. It can be a wonderful time for older adults to share stories and reminisce about their own experiences of autumn in earlier years, fostering emotional well-being and connections with younger generations.

Autumn offers a slower pace and opportunities for warmth, reflection, and connection, which many older adults may find comforting and enriching.

Can canned fruit be healthy for you?

Yes, canned fruit can be a healthy option, but it depends on how it's prepared. Here are some factors to consider:

Nutrient Content: Canned fruit retains many of the vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruit, particularly when it is canned shortly after harvest. However, some nutrients, like vitamin C, can decrease during the canning process.

Sugar Content: One of the main concerns with canned fruit is added sugar. If the fruit is packed in heavy syrup, it can significantly increase the calorie and sugar content. For a healthier option, look for fruit canned in its own juice or water, which has much less added sugar.

Fiber: Like fresh fruit, canned fruit contains dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. However, fruits that are peeled before canning may have less fiber than whole fruits.

Preservatives and Sodium: Some canned fruits may contain added preservatives or sodium. It’s always a good idea to read the label to check for unnecessary additives.

In summary, canned fruit can be a nutritious option if you choose varieties without added sugar or preservatives. It’s a convenient way to enjoy fruit year-round, especially when fresh options are not available. 🍏🍎🍐🍊🍍

Here are three great activities for elderly individuals to stay sharp mentally:

🧩 Puzzles and Brain Games: Engaging in activities like crossword puzzles, Sudoku, or jigsaw puzzles helps stimulate the brain and improve memory, problem-solving skills, and cognitive function.

📖 Reading and Discussion Groups: Reading books, articles, or newspapers and discussing them with others keeps the mind active and improves comprehension, critical thinking, and social engagement.

🥁 Learning New Skills or Hobbies: Picking up a new hobby like learning a musical instrument, painting, or trying a new language challenges the brain and encourages continuous learning and creativity.

Arthritis can affect people at any age, though it becomes more common as people get older. There are different types of arthritis, and some can develop earlier in life:

***Juvenile arthritis can affect children, typically under the age of 16.
***Osteoarthritis, the most common form, usually affects people over the age of 50, but it can develop earlier, especially in those with joint injuries or excessive joint stress.
***Rheumatoid arthritis can develop at any age, but it often begins between the ages of 30 and 60.
***Gout and psoriatic arthritis can also affect younger individuals, typically starting in middle adulthood.

In general, while arthritis is more prevalent in older adults, it is not exclusively an age-related condition and can affect individuals at various life stages.

Flu season in the United States typically runs from October to May, with the flu peaking between December and February. However, the exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary.

The CDC recommends that most people get the flu vaccine in September or October, but you can continue to get vaccinated as long as the flu is circulating. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from getting the flu and reduce your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death.

Now is the time to get your flu vaccine!

As people grow older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people notice that they don’t remember information as well as they once did and aren’t able to recall it as quickly. They may also occasionally misplace things or forget to pay a bill. These usually are signs of mild forgetfulness, not a serious memory problem.

It’s normal to forget things once in a while at any age, but serious memory problems make it hard to do everyday things such as driving, using the phone, and finding the way home.

Signs that it might be time to talk with a doctor include:

-Asking the same questions over and over again
-Getting lost in places you used to know well
-Having trouble following recipes or directions
-Becoming more confused about time, people, and places
-Not taking care of yourself — eating poorly, not bathing, or behaving unsafely

Older adults have unique nutrition needs.

Simple adjustments can go a long way toward building a healthier eating pattern. Follow these tips to get the most out of foods and beverages while meeting your nutrient needs and reducing the risk of disease:

-Enjoy a variety of foods from each food group to help reduce the risk of developing diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Choose foods with little to no added sugar, saturated fats, and sodium.
-To get enough protein throughout the day and maintain muscle, try adding seafood, dairy, or fortified soy products along with beans, peas, and lentils to your meals.
-Add sliced or chopped fruits and vegetables to meals and snacks. Look for pre-cut varieties if slicing and chopping are a challenge for you.
-Try foods fortified with vitamin B12, such as some cereals, or talk to your doctor about taking a B12 supplement.
-Reduce sodium intake by seasoning foods with herbs and citrus such as lemon juice.
-Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help stay hydrated and aid in the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. Avoid sugary drinks.

Does an Older Adult in Your Life Need Help?

It is not always clear whether an aging parent or relative needs help. Sometimes a person will recognize that they need help and request it, or an emergency or sudden illness will make it clear. Others may not want to cause worry or admit they’re struggling.

If you become aware of the signs that a loved one needs help, you will be better prepared to provide support for their safety and well-being.
