21.01.2022 Monday Motivation: Never underestimate the power of chocolate Low magnesium levels can trick your brain into thinking you need chocolate badly. Chocolate is high in magnesium and going without this chemical can give you muscle cramps, restlessness and anxiety. You can easily fill this need by replacing chocolate with other alternatives that are high in magnesium such as almonds, cashews, brazil nuts and pecans.... #iamchocolateblocked #motivation #AlzheimersWA

15.01.2022 Fundraiser spotlight: Making Memories Shout out to the Making Memories team for taking up The Chocolate Block Challenge! "This is the third year our Making Memories team has participated in the Alzheimer's WA The Chocolate Block Challenge. I was interested in participating in this as my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2014, which progressed suddenly after she had a fall and broke her hip in August 2017.... I approached some girlfriends, who all eagerly said they would join me. We have all been touched in some way by knowing someone with Alzheimers or watched a close friend struggle with dealing with a loved one with Alzheimers, memory loss or cognitive abilities. Our team has steadily grown over the past three years and we are all giving up various things including chocolate, biscuits, coffee, chips, cakes and sweet things, lollies, cream, ice-cream and fizzy drinks. Our small sacrifice for 31 days for the Chocolate Block Challenge is well worth it and is a cause close to all our hearts."
