World Alzheimer's Day is celebrated on 21 September every year by all the countries of the world. This day is celebrated to raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease.
It is a disease that commonly affects people of older age and they find it difficult to remember things as they grow older. But doctors suggest a few diet and lifestyle changes to prevent or manage dementia or Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's is a mental illness that targets old people more often and weakens their memory, thus affecting their brain. Alzheimer's is caused when there are disturbances in the structure of proteins in the brain.
But on the occasion of Alzheimer's day, we are here with a few quotes, posters, and WhatsApp statuses to raise awareness among friends and family.
