🧠 DID YOU KNOW?

Your stomach doesn’t know the difference between danger and stress.

When you’re stressed, your brain sends signals that can affect your digestive system, which is why stress may lead to symptoms such as stomach discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, acid reflux, and other digestive issues.

The connection between the brain and the gut is so strong that emotional stress can sometimes feel like a physical illness.

Taking care of your mental well-being is also taking care of your physical health.

Small steps such as getting enough rest, staying active, drinking water, and managing stress can make a big difference to your overall health.

June Dementia Awareness Month

🧠 What is Dementia?
Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. It is a group of conditions that affect memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. The most common form is Alzheimer's disease.

📊 A Growing Global Health Challenge
* 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia.
* Expected to rise to 78 million by 2030.
* 61% of people with dementia live in low- and middle-income countries.
* Dementia is the 7th leading cause of death globally.

🌍 Regional Impact
* Around 2.3 million people live with dementia in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
* Dementia is the 14th leading cause of death in the region.

💙 The Impact Extends Beyond the Individual

Dementia affects not only those diagnosed, but also their families, caregivers, communities, and healthcare systems.

⚠️ Nearly Half of Cases May Be Preventable
Up to 45% of dementia cases could potentially be prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors through:
* Regular physical activity
* Healthy diet
* Managing blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic conditions
* Mental and social engagement
* Early detection and treatment

📣 Why Awareness Matters
Lack of understanding can lead to stigma, delayed diagnosis, and barriers to care. Raising awareness helps people seek support earlier and promotes dignity and quality of life for those affected.

💙 This Dementia and Brain Awareness Month, *TMS Medical Services* encourages you to prioritise your brain health. Be mindful of the signs, support those affected, and seek medical advice if you have concerns. Small steps today can make a difference tomorrow.

Know the Signs. Reduce the Risk. Support Those Living with Dementia.
