Abstract

The human brain is considered a remarkable evolutionary feat due to its intricate functionality, encompassing cognitive processes such as reasoning, memory retention, motor control, and emotional experience. The primary objective of adopting a healthy lifestyle is to ensure the optimal functioning of the brain throughout an individual's entire lifespan. As the global population ages, there is an increasing prevalence of neurological diseases and a growing challenge in safeguarding brain function due to its intricate nature. Therefore, it is imperative to comprehend the concept of brain health and its significance. This article marks the commencement of a sequence of scholarly publications aimed at delineating the concept of brain health, scrutinizing the ramifications of significant neurological illnesses on the health of the brain, and deliberating on prospective interventions and preventive measures for these ailments.
