Purple is the color of June, in observance of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The Alzheimer's Association states that:

Dr. Isabel Souffront, Chief Medical Officer at Conviva Care Broward says while there's no cure yet for it, there are red flags.

Sedentary lifestyles have become more prevalent in recent years, and in the long run this has a negative effect on overall health.
