Have you ever imagined yourself living in a world where people interacted like cows or goats? If this were true then how our brains function would be totally different. Human brain has never been completely understood even by the most learned neurons.

This is because brain is a complicated organ that demands a lot of intensive research and analysis. How it functions is more of mystery to many scientists. However, some facts have been established about the human brain that at least shed some light on the functioning of the brain.

One fact about the brain is that it is made up of several organs that perform different roles and every role that each organ plays determines the overall functioning of the brain.

A good example are the functions performed by frontal lobe such as remembering and feeling. Through these functions, our brains gets to help us remember past incidents, feel pain when hurt, and so on.

You may ask yourself, how this happen? Well, think of a situation where you feel sleepy when the lights go off. This comes about as a result of the brain producing dopamine and serotonin chemicals that make you feel sleepy. It is something that happens without your “conscious”.

Your brain controls your behavior to achieve something and that way you end up falling asleep. In other words, your brain controls your nervous system and that’s why you respond in a certain way to certain situations subconsciously.

Once other body organs receive a particular stimulation, they immediately send it to the brain from a quick analysis to establish the appropriate reaction.

Of importance to note is the different important functions that are performed by the brain.

• All our breathing, heart beats and other conscious functions of the brain are controlled by the brain stems

• The ability to develop a routine and thinking in a special way is under the control of neocortex

• Cerebellum controls our body movements, balance as well as posture. The brain cannot perform properly if it is not in a calm and healthy condition.

Research has shown that most of the mental illnesses that are prevalent today are also because of hygiene. This means that we our lifestyles expose us to the risks of developing mental problems.

This therefore calls for a lot of care in whatever we engage ourselves in because it might adversely affect our brains. For you to have a healthy brain, you need to continuously exercise it just like the other body parts.

There are different ways of exercising your brain including mental games, meditation, physical exercises, and so on, leveraging the brain plasticity. You also need to eat healthy diets such as healthy fats and most of all, avoid stress.

Talking of behavior and lifestyle change, it is good to bear in mind the fact that people always manipulate to their desires and therefore whenever you are seeking a better lifestyle considering the best option that will enhance your brain fitness is the best option. Thinking positively and executing personal practices that are healthy is also another step in achieving brain fitness.
