We use our brain for every conscious and unconscious task in our body. It is truly an amazing organ and one we must care for.
Unfortunately, our lifestyle and medication can adversely affect the health of our brain, causing cognitive decline, mental health disorders, and digestion issues.
Medications such as statins, which are commonly prescribed to treat cholesterol, as well as drugs like opioids and benzodiazepines are especially problematic for the brain.
Injury and trauma, including concussions, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and even undergoing times of extreme duress can also impact our brains.
