The brain is responsible for all the body yet it forms up about 2% of a human body weight, brain cells are the longest living cells in the human body, they can live or you entire life. The human brain takes in 11million bits of information every second but is aware of only 40 and it is made up of 100billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called Synapses (information transporter)

The human brain is something to talk about because a lot of people are dying because of some dangerous conditions of the brain examples are below-:

Headache :

I bet some of you all don't know some headache kills, rewind to 3rd of November,i lost my uncle to headache thinking it was just a normal headache and so he didn't take it serious, he also took some pills but he didn't get better but he insisted that he was better, not nothing it was getting worst inside until he collapsed then we rushed him to the hospital, on getting there he died why? because he wasn't just having headache it was Cerebral Malaria this happens when the parasite filled with blood cells block small vessels to your brain, it causes brain damage or swelling that's when the headache starts. if untreated it takes 24-72 hours to give up or enter into coma,but my uncle wasn't lucky enough he gave up.

Brain Tumors In Adults:

So what is a Brain Tumor? it's a heap of tissue formed by an assembly of abnormal cells.Tumor cells don't die they grow even if your body doesn't need them and normally cells in your body age die and replaced by new cells but with tumors and cancer it wouldn't die instead it grows.Kids who receive radiation to the head have a higher risk of developing a brain tumor as adults and age is also a risk factor(btw 65-79).

These signs may also help in indicating if you are about to have a tumor or you already have one.

- Headache

- Changes in vision

- Problems with memory

- Changes in speech or hearing

- Problem with walking

Keep in mind most headaches are unrelated to brain tumors and these symptoms can be caused by a number of different conditions so don't think you have a brain tumor just because you experience some of them. check with your doctor.

Meningitis:

This can lead to death you know, it affects children,teens and young adults. it's usually caused by an Infection(damaged cells) and it's contagious through coughing,close contacts and sneezing. it is very important to see a doctor right away if you or your child has these symptoms:

-Headache

-vomiting

-A stiff painful neck,especially when you touch your chest or chin

Only a doctor can tell whether they are caused by viral(virus) or bacterial(bacteria) meningitis. And bacteria meningitis can be deadly.

Traumatic Brain Injury(Concussion):

Concussion is most often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump in the head,The brain is made up of a soft tissue so when concussion occur you may loose equilibrium or you may be unconscious and the brain would be confused. And these common emotional and physical signs may display of concussion:

-Slurred speech

-Headache

-Blurred vision

-Memory loss

-Confusion

Some symptoms last for just seconds others may continue. I advice not to give the person medications including aspirin, which may cause bleeding. just take the person to the clinic.

You'll probably wonder why you've never heard these cool facts in biology or anthropology classes before from hangover cures to exploding head syndrome but textbooks editors simply don't have all the space they need to give the full story of your body then these tidbits are must known:

1. Did you know your brain stops growing when your 18

2. Did you know of all the total blood and oxygen that is produced in our body,the brain gets 20% of it

3. Do you know the brain works even while you are asleep

4. During early pregnancy the rate of neuron growth is 250,000 neurons a minute

5. Did you know that lack of oxygen in the brain for 5-10minutes results in permanent brain damage.

And now some extra steps to a healthier brain. If you really want to improve your brain health,you need o make sure it gets enough oxygen, nutrition and antioxidant support.I have a feeling of everyone did these,in 20years we'd have fewer cases of psychological dysfunction and of neurodegenerative disease.
