The brain is a very vital part of a human being. Not just a human but every living thing that actually make thoughts. Our Thoughts with the mind, no matter how lightful it is, also deals with the dear brain.
According to research, by birth we are entitled to 14 billion cell/ neurons in the brain which cant be compared to any Hard disk or storage device in this world not even a computer. Science has it that no human has actuall made use of 2billions of it,considering whatso ever you might want to store in your head. it means computers or machines are no match with our brain. Come to think of it, Our brain actually made and created those so called machines we so cherish to do everything for us. Those machines made life easier and productive in times of E-learning too. They can also multi-task which our brain cant becox we are humans and at some point, we will need rest.
According to research, this 14 billion cells does not increase through out a person's lifetime but tends to reduce during stages in life activities. Ones a person turns 25years old or after 25years, the number of cells falls by 100,000 every single day. Do you know that almost 65-70 cells die in a minute it takes you to read a page in a book ? After 40 years of living, the declining of the brain accelerates very rapidly and at 50 - 60 years or lets say after roughly 70 years, the neurons(that is, the nerve cells) begin to shrink and the brain gets smaller thereby giving ability to think and do things very slow.
Where do you think the cote"A fool at forty is a fool forever" came out from ? i think it was base on this analysis. So before 40 years of living, it is expected that you have actually enlarged the brain by putting it to use and yielding productive achievements.
The brain working with the body has to do with alot of activities.
Majorly, the brain takes, refines, transmit information and then finally gets the body to act on it.
I indicated in my title that the brain is also time in the sense that as you carry out activities, as time goes on, some cells and neurons in the brain also die. The body communicating with the brain in other to carry out tasks also make use of this neuron cells.
Now take a look at it, as you get older, maybe in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's you tend not to feel agile unlike in your 20's. In speed, in strenght,how u can even talk for long, distances you can cover before while walking cant be covered again. You know, Just name it. Many things you can do very smart and agily during your 20's cant just be done in your 70's. That is why there is time for everything.
Take an instance of an athlete, at some point, those flexibility will worn out because those times he was actually doing fine, aside from his body being young, his communication skills with the nerves of his brain were still young as well.
Practically and basically, i think old age actually has to do with the brain. In other words, at every brain storming you involve yourself, whether productive or not, you possibly loose neurons(Brain Cells) which also gets the brain to old age too. And since the brain has the nerves connected to each part of the body ofcause, you begin to see signs of deterioration in the different parts of the body. E.g majority cant walk as fast as the could before, some cant see as clear as they use to initially, many cant stand for long anymore, They cant even involve in work activities they do best before. So in my little insight, i think the neurons of the brain dieing due to continous use also make the brain age and thereby affecting the body and the life span of the individual.
So the question is, What do you use your brain storming on now that you are still agile. How do you use your neurons now when you know at every use, some part of it dies and the brain is also aging gradually. Are those things or activities you kill your brain cells on worth it?, productive?, achieving?,. Dont spend the time your brain is still agile on frivolous activities. Use that time to regenerate insight so when your brain is aged, the insights and innovation never ages and that is why elders are still elders in wisdom despite deir aged brain because the brain aged but not the insights in the brain..
Thank you so much..
