The brain is arguably the largest and IS the most complex organ in the human body. It consists of billions of cells and communicate to trillions of connections in the body called synapses. Its serves as the central nervous system in all animals. Our brain plays the most important role in the body. It's is the main controller of every function the human body. It's like the batteries of a car or any device at all. Without the batteries the device is utterly useless and that's why just as we take care of our voice for singers, muscles for models we all must also learn how to care for the brain because its a very vital part of the body. A human being or any other mammal can cope a while with some health problems in any part of the body but once the brain is involved, even in the slightest ways, it affects the behavior of the individual.

The brain is the sole conductor of the activities in the human body and it does way alot of work in regulating the organs of the body. The brain is divided into 3 functional parts called lobes. these lobes and the functions of the body they regulate are as follows;

FRONTAL LOBE
*handles attention and concentration
*regulates self monitoring
*organization and speaking
*planning
*emotions
*solving problems etc

PARIETAL LOBE
*regulates sense of touch
*regulates spatial perception
*recognition of sizes shapes and colors
*regulates visual perception etc

BRAIN STEM

• regulates the cycle of sleeping and waking up
  *regulates heart rate
  *regulates breathing
  *regulates arousal and consciousness
  *regulates heart rate. etc

TEMPORAL LOBE
*understanding language
*organization and hearing
*hearing
*memory
*sequencing etc

CEREBELLUM LOBE
*balance and cordination
*regulates skilled motor activities

OPTICAL LOBE
*regulates vision

FOODS THAT BOOST THE BRAIN

The brain as the control center of the body is in charge of keeping the heart beating, lungs breathing, movement and ability to move and think. 60% of the human brain is made of fats mainly the omega-3 fatty acids, which means for a food to be classified as a brain boosting food it needs to have a significant amount of the omega-3 fatty acids and Some these brain foods include
*fatty fish
*blue berries
*coffee
*nuts
*broccoli
*turmeric
*dark chocolates
*pumpkin seeds
*green tea
*oranges
*eggs
Of all these foods listed above, the nuts and fatty fish got more omega-3 fatty acids in significantly higher proportion than others. And when it comes to nuts, the walnut seems to be topping the list. according to researches on brain foods, walnuts are very rich in alpha-linolenic acids (omega-3 fatty acids). they also contain more polyphenolic compounds than any other type of nuts and both omega-3 acids and polyphenols are critical brain foods.
