How quick are your wits? 🧠 Put your brain to the test this World Alzheimer’s Month! While physical health is vital, keeping our minds sharp and staying socially connected are just as important for a fulfilling life. In our latest post, we are challenging you to a mini cognitive workout. Have a go at these three exercises: 🗣️ 3-Word Recall: Test your short-term memory and language skills. 🔴 Stroop Test: Can you name the colour of the ink instead of reading the word? It’s much harder than it sounds! 🚶 Dual Task Test: Try walking at your normal pace whilst counting backwards from 100 in threes (97, 94, 91...). With a bit of regular practise, you will get faster! Keeping our brains active improves memory and attention, but the best true sign of ageing well is how you feel. Are you feeling engaged, connected, and content with life? Help us ensure no one in our community feels isolated.

What is Alzheimer’s Disease? It is the most common form of dementia which affects memory and thinking skills. The symptoms can include: Changes in behaviour Confusion and the need for help with simple tasks Problems with language Memory loss Often these symptoms are mild at first but can get worse over time. This is because Alzheimer’s is a progressive illness that alters the effective working of the brain. For example, a relative who begins to struggle making breakfast or paying a bill may be suffering from early disruptions in the brain’s ability to coordinate tasks. Nerve cells in the brain carry messages to different parts of the body. As the disease damages these nerve cells the brain then struggles to function as before. Alzheimer’s Disease is not a natural part of ageing. #AgeinSpain #alzheimersawareness #alzheimerscare
