HEALTH TODAY!!! 4 foods recommended for you to keep your brain healthy and sound.
The role our brain plays in our body system cant be over emphasized. The brain is the chief controller of every function the human body. It's like the batteries of a remote control or any device at all. Without the batteries the device is utterly useless and that's why just as we take care of our voice for singers, muscles for models we all must also learn how to care for the brain because its the most important part of the body. A human being can cope a while with some health problems in just any part of the body but once the brain is affected, even in the smallest ways, it affects the behavior of the individual.
The brain regulates or controls our speech, thoughts, memory, movements both conscious and unconscious such as in our dreams and sleep, its controls the functions of many organs in our body and lots more.
Some brain defects include;
*hematomas
*blood clots
*contusions
*brain tissue bruising
*cerebral edema
*tumor
*strokes
*concussions, etc.
