The physical aspect of the mind is what we know as the Brain. The brain consists of three parts the cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla oblongata. While the cerebrum forms the maximum portion of the brain, the cerebellum is smaller in size and the medulla oblongata along with the nerves serves the purpose of maintaining body balance. The brain size reduces which is why it gives rise to issues like Alzheimer’s and forgetfulness.
Brain health is important for carrying out basic problems of the body like the beating of the heart, digestion of food, and excretion of excess waste material. The nerves are the second most widely spread organ across the body next to the skin.
Ageing is natural but with proper maintenance of one’s body we can minimize the risks associated with one’s body and the deterioration caused to one’s brain. The only reason why doctors may feel the need to examine the brain is under the following circumstances.

These dots are fluids or gaps which tend to fill the brain. The yoga school of thought says that whenever a person is more inclined towards negative emotions it creates a negative radiation within the brain and around the body and these gaps gradually tend to increase as the level of emotions in the body increases “ explained one of the most well-known neurosurgeons of Ludhiana.
