Your brain SHRINKS during sleep. That’s not a glitch, it’s self-preservation. Brain cells contract and make room for cerebrospinal fluid to flush out toxins like B-amyloid. Miss sleep, and toxins pile up m, increasing Alzheimer's risk. #FunFactFriday #SleepWalker

Using technology to deliver health care has several advantages, including cost savings, convenience, and the ability to provide care to people with mobility limitations, or those in rural areas who don't have access to a local doctor. #HarvardHealth bit.ly/3yKtCsF
