What is Brain Health?
Brain health is a term that encompasses a range of factors that affect the health and functioning of the brain. It includes physical health, mental health, cognitive function, and emotional wellbeing. Physical health is important for the brain because it affects blood flow and oxygenation, which are essential for keeping the brain functioning at its best. Mental health is important for the brain because it affects the way we think, feel, and behave. Cognitive function refers to our ability to think, remember, learn, and problem-solve. Emotional wellbeing is important for the brain because it affects how we process and respond to our environment.
