When we think about Alzheimer's disease, the imagery of a battle often comes to mind. We talk about "fighting" it, "combating" it, and "waging war" against it. While these terms capture the urgency and seriousness of the disease, they can also evoke feelings of fear, helplessness, and overwhelm. At Her Brain Matters, I prefer a different perspective—one of empowerment. Instead of seeing this as a fight, I view it as an opportunity to learn, be aware, and make proactive choices to prevent Alzheimer's.
