Greetings,

Some time ago, I shared with you some important material about aging and the risk of falls. It was sent to me by Jullieth Cragwell.

I hope it was of benefit to some of you and hope some of you will find this of value. We all know how important it is to recognize the symptoms of Alzheimer’s early.

Today I am sending more information that also comes to me from Jullieth Cragwell.

As we age, our bodies change in many ways. Unfortunately, one of those changes is an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. While there is no sure way to prevent Alzheimer’s, new research suggests that our eyes may be able to give us an early warning sign. We have come up with some guides that could interest individuals in the community going through this. You can check them out here https://myvision.org/ along with many other different guides about eye health and eye care. Jullieth Cragwell

These sources address recent research that strongly link eye health to various conditions including Alzheimer’s. Those of us who are getting older (certainly neither you nor I are getting older!) might benefit from this information. Certainly Alzheimer’s is a disease that scares all of us. Hope this is of value to you. dc
