Embracing the Future with Hope: World Alzheimer’s Month—‘A Time to Act on Dementia’
This September, as we support World Alzheimer’s Month, building up to World Alzheimer’s Day on the 21st, we unite under the theme “Time to Act on Dementia.” It’s more than a theme; it’s a heartfelt call to arms, reminding us of the silent threads of memory that bind us to those we love, and the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s disease on millions, including nearly half a million Filipinos.
The stories are all too familiar, moments forgotten, milestones blurred, the essence of loved ones slowly fading before our eyes. This isn’t just a health crisis; it’s a mosaic of personal battles being fought every day within the sanctity of our families.
In the Philippines, Alzheimer’s disease represents not just a health challenge but a growing societal issue. Researchers estimate that nearly half a million Filipinos are living with dementia, and this number is expected to increase as the population ages. The impact on families and caregivers is profound, highlighting the importance of understanding and preparing for the possible risks associated with the disease.
We at EasyDNA Philippines support and stand with those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia variations. We are proud to support Alzheimer’s Disease International and its initiatives to improve care and accelerate research. Our commitment extends to empowering individuals with knowledge about their health through DNA testing.
Our Genetic Predisposition Test and Inherited Disease Panel are more than just clinical DNA services; they are your gateway to understanding and potentially outpacing the genetic risks tied to Alzheimer’s and other conditions. Imagine the power of knowing, the power of acting early with tailor-made lifestyle changes and medical strategies that could reshape your future and that of your loved ones.
But, how much do we know about our family’s health history? This question is not just about curiosity, but about preparedness and prevention. In acknowledging World Alzheimer’s Day this September 21st, we invite you to consider how DNA testing could be your first step towards safeguarding your health and that of your family. Let’s make a pledge to prioritize our health, to arm ourselves with knowledge, and to face the future not with fear, but with informed courage.
Together, let’s support the global call to action and contribute to a future where the mysteries of Alzheimer’s and dementia are fully unravelled. Join us in this cause and let’s take a step ahead with EasyDNA Philippines.
Your journey towards a healthier tomorrow can start today.
