The brain, together with the spinal cord, constitutes the central nervous system. This is a complex organ, each zone of which is almost permanently connected with our body but also with the world around us. Whether we are thinking, dreaming, walking, playing sports, sleeping or even doing nothing, our brain is constantly active.
That is to say if it is essential, and how important it is to take care of it, especially when you get older.
