July 22 is World Brain Day. According to WHO estimates, by 2030, brain diseases will become the greatest health threat leading to disability or death. Experts from the World Health Organization include neurological disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis as well as mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia.

Advances in neurology and neurobiology allow us to better understand how our brain works, how neuronal processes affect our behavior, and how to cope with neurodegenerative diseases. In recent years, scientists have focused on studying brain plasticity, or the ability to adapt in response to experience and learning. Plasticity is the basis for the development of new therapeutic methods that can help in rehabilitation after brain injuries or strokes. 

World Brain Day is a good opportunity to remind people about the importance of education and mental health promotion. 

Actively taking care of your brain is key to maintaining good mental and physical health at every stage of life. Are you observing disturbing symptoms? Don't hesitate to use advice from specialists.

Experts emphasize that regular physical activity, a healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins, as well as maintaining intellectual activity by learning new skills, reading books or solving puzzles, have a direct impact on brain health. It is also important to take care of healthy sleep, which plays a key role in regenerative processes and memory consolidation. Active care for the brain is an investment in health for many years!
