19.01.2022 Did you know? There are many more signs of Parkinson's Disease than just physical. So while someone with Parkinson's may not be displaying tremors or moving slowly or rigidly, don't assume they feel fine internally. It's also important to remember symptoms can fluctuate. Someone with PD may feel good one day, but that's no guarantee they'll feel good the next.... So it's always important to check on those you know with PD, to reassure them that you're there for them even when you can't see anything going on. ___ Why not reach out to someone with Parkinson's today on World Parkinson's Day? _____ For more information about Parkinson's, check this website: https://www.parkinson.org/

That's what we want to offer." ___ Click here to listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-atypical-rainbow/episodes Or click here to follow them! https://www.facebook.com/theatypicalrainbow _______ Image contains a puppy in rainbow sunglasses, with the words 'the atypical rainbow' in the top right.

12.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? Although solid scientific evidence between mental stimulation and reducing your risk of Dementia and Alzheimer's is still lacking, most doctors (along with Dementia Australia) encourage creative mental activity to 'build reserves of healthy brain cells and connections between them'. Studying something new or exciting could be a new hobby to pick up this year. Why not try learning a new language? Or learning an instrument? ... Or if gaming is more your style, Luminosity Brain Games (www.lumosity.com/en/) are fun, challenging and visually exciting too.
