On July 22, the World Federation of Neurology honors World Brain Day to highlight the importance of brain health. Our view of the outside world, emotions, behaviors, and senses are all governed by the intricate workings of the brain.
Every year, this inclusive event for individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and genders focuses on brain health education to improve equity for those who suffer from brain illnesses. In 2024, World Brain Day will focus on raising global awareness to improve accessibility and reduce disparities for those with brain disorders.
World Brain Day 2024: Significance
The global prevention, treatment, and cure of brain illnesses is the aim of World Brain Day. This day aims to raise awareness of brain illnesses in an effort to lessen the challenges they create. In 2024, World Brain Day presents a critical chance to advance worldwide parity for those with disabilities.
The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) first marked World Brain Day on a global scale. Based on their unique characteristics and mode of development, neurological disorders are categorized as either permanent or reversible and result in significant disability. The WFN continues to promote the notion of brain health.
World Brain Day 2024: History
The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) created World Brain Day to raise awareness of neurology and brain health. July 22 was declared as World Brain Day by the WFN, which was established in Belgium on July 22, 1957. The Public Awareness and Advocacy Committee’s proposal, which was made during the September 22, 2013, World Congress of Neurology (WCN) Council of Delegates conference, is where this concept first came from. Strong support for it resulted in the Board of Trustees approving it in February 2014. Since then, July 22 has been dedicated as World Brain Day every year to promote awareness and support for brain health throughout the world.
World Brain Day 2024: 5 Ways To Keep Your Brain Healthy
- Engage in Physical Activity: Aim for 30 minutes of daily physical activity. Increasing heart rate stimulates the formation of new connections between brain cells.
- Eat A Heart-Healthy Diet: Consuming foods high in healthy fats, such as avocados, fish, extra virgin olive oil, almonds, walnuts, and other nuts, will help to prevent cognitive loss and preserve brain function.
- Get enough sleep: Adults require seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Inadequate sleep has an impact on your emotions, energy, memory, and general health.
- Mental Stimulation: When it comes to maintaining a healthy brain, there is no one ideal kind of exercise. You need to look outside the box and come up with fresh ideas. Pick up a new hobby or talent, like cooking or playing an instrument.
- Socialize: Maintaining a social network is beneficial to brain health. You can maintain your social life by going out to lunch with your friends, volunteering, signing up for a fitness class, or taking vacations.
