Take a walk! 👣 Be honest with yourself, have you moved as much as you could today?

April 1 is National Walking Day but regular physical exercise is an important part of overall healthy living - and it supports a healthy brain. đź§ 

Studies show that even 20-30 minutes of walking a few times a week has health benefits. Activities that increase heart rate increase oxygen flow and improve connections among brain cells. There are lots of other ways to get moving. Find what works for you and build movement into your day.

The best time to start is now. đź’ś

Throughout her life, Justice O’Connor stood as a trailblazer, both as the first woman on the Supreme Court and as an advocate and caregiver for her husband John, who lived with Alzheimer's disease for nearly 20 years. In 2018, she bravely shared her own diagnosis of “dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease,” in a letter to the American people.

Justice O'Connor worked to ensure caregivers and those living with dementia were represented and their voices were heard, even after stepping down from the court in 2005 to spend time with her husband. In 2009, she served as a member of the Alzheimer’s Study Group, whose report helped make Alzheimer’s a national priority.
