Its goal is to raise public awareness about the importance of brain health, to strengthen the prevention of neurological diseases, and to encourage proper brain care at every age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brain controls every function of our body: movement, thought, memory, emotions, and perception. A strikingly large percentage of the global population will experience some form of brain-related illness during their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to data, <strong>more than 1 in 3 people globally (over 35%)<\/strong> will develop a neurological or mental disorder. The <strong>World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong> reports that <strong>over 1 billion people<\/strong> today live with a neurological condition such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stroke<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Epilepsy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple sclerosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migraines and chronic headaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Neurological disorders are the <strong>second leading cause of death<\/strong> and the <strong>leading cause of disability worldwide<\/strong>. Due to the increase in life expectancy, brain-related diseases (especially dementias) are expected to <strong>double by 2050<\/strong>. This highlights the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and continuous care for brain health at all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prevention and early intervention can make a difference.<\/strong> Brain care starts with simple, everyday habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Healthy diet<\/strong>: foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical exercise<\/strong>: increases blood flow to the brain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adequate sleep<\/strong>: essential for memory and information processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mental activity<\/strong>: reading, learning new skills, puzzles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social interaction<\/strong>: boosts mood and helps prevent cognitive decline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular medical check-ups and preventive screenings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the <strong>World Federation of Neurology (WFN)<\/strong> focuses on a different theme. This year\u2019s theme highlights <strong>prevention and accessibility to care for all<\/strong>, emphasizing the need for <strong>equity in healthcare<\/strong> for neurological conditions. At <strong>Euromedica Group<\/strong>, through our <strong>21 modern diagnostic centers and polyclinics<\/strong>, we promote and encourage prevention by providing high-level primary healthcare services related to the human brain. <strong>Brain care is not a luxury; it is essential to our quality of life.<\/strong> Let us stay informed, care for ourselves, and encourage those around us to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Brain Day was established by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) and is celebrated every year on July 22.
