Mumbai – The World Neurology Federation celebrates World Brain Day every year on 22 July to raise awareness about neurological disorders and promote a healthy brain across the world. World Brain Day also known as World Federation of Neurology Day. On this occasion, Apex Superspeciality Hospitals has conducted an awareness workshop for their nursing staff and patient’s relatives. Brain is the most important part of our body. It is very important to remain brain healthy. In today’s time, most people are suffering from brain related diseases. Therefore, World Brain Day is celebrated every year on 22 July so that people can be made aware of brain health and neurological diseases can be prevented.

Giving more information about this, Dr. Vivek Patel Neurosurgeon from Apex group of Hospitals from Borivali says, “In the past three decades, most studies in India have shown a high disease burden for specific diseases including stroke, epilepsy, headache, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia mostly reported for the urban Indian population. The brain is the most important organ of the body. It helps control our heartbeat, all body systems and emotions. Therefore, it is important that we all pay special attention to keeping our brain healthy. The brain works 24 hours a day, even when you sleep, it controls your entire nervous system and sends signals and instructions from one part of the body to another. It’s true that diet plays an important role when it comes to your overall mental health and cognitive abilities. However, even small changes in lifestyle can go a long way in ensuring better brain health. A healthy daily routine also helps prevent age-related memory loss and cognitive decline. For this, get enough sleep, stay hydrated, exercise regularly and keep taking measures to keep stress levels under control.”

Dr. Vivek Patel Neurosurgeon from Apex group of Hospitals further added, Physical activity also proven effective in strengthening the brain. 30 minutes of physical activity daily stimulates the heart rate, which also benefits brain cells. It is very important to get complete sleep every day. Lack of sleep proves to weaken the brain. In such a situation, it is mandatory to take 7 to 9 hours of sleep. By getting full sleep, energy remains in the body, health remains good and it also helps in improving memory. Keeping up strong social ties has a big impact on mental health. Social connections improve emotional health and cognitive function. Chronic stress can negatively affect the brain, leading to problems with memory and cognitive function. Effective stress management techniques can help protect brain health. Practices like mindfulness meditation can reduce stress and improve focus and cognitive flexibility.
