The world has many dangerous activities in today’s modern society that can cause serious injury or even death. Sports are the perfect example of these dangers yet they are still played and done on a daily basis. Who are we to interfere with people’s fun or to tell them what they can and cannot be doing? Why would we want people to protect themselves so dramatically that it takes all the excitement out of sporting activities? One of the biggest reasons is that so many head trauma injuries occur in the sporting arena on such frequent occasions.

Let us look into all the sports that have caused and have the potential to cause brain disease through head injury. Back in the day of the body line series of test match cricket one of the Australian batsmen was hit in the head by a ball which left him permanently incapacitated. These days head gear must be worn when facing a bowler. Years later motorcycle riders in some states of the USA were allowed to ride without head protection and this still causes head trauma, brain damage, brain disease and many other head related injuries but the laws were only changed in some of the states. Diving is another sport where the lack of oxygen can cause the brain to suffer and results in the loss of functionality. American Football is a sport where even though the players are required to wear helmets they can still suffer from strikes and blows to the head which can cause permanent injury.

There are numerous sports and activities that can hurt people in a variety of fashions though they only have minor rules to prevent major damage to the participants. Should we wrap everyone in cotton wool so that this does not happen? I am sure that the families of those who have suffered disablement would agree that more protection is necessary however there are still those who believe that doing what you love is the exception to the rule.

The brain is an intricate part of the central nervous system; in fact it is the main part because without proper brain function our bodies are at a loss for behaving in the correct manner. Without regulated brain function the body may do whatever it likes to do such as unwanted reflex reactions or no reactions at all. Brain diseases can stem the total control of our body such as thoughts, memory, speech and movement.

Such brain diseases manifest themselves as.

Huntington’s disease, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and dementia. Others exist such as brain tumors and head trauma.

Inflammation from a head trauma can lead to complications and pressure on the brain which can prevent blood flow and cause permanent brain damage, sight loss and other side effects. Migraines are often related to oncoming brain diseases because of the effect they have around the brain and the functioning of the body. Inflammation can also lead to weakness in the limbs and lead to paralysis of the body.

Science has only started to scratch the surface of all the functions of the brain and we are encouraged to look after our body, our head and our brain. Keep well hydrated and eat a variety of foods and don’t forget to eat plenty of carbohydrate because these foods fuel the brain and help it to work in an effective manner.

If you suffer from symptoms that you are unsure off or are causing problems with you balance, mobility, sight or even causes constant headaches then I recommend you get to a doctor to find out what is wrong. Some brain diseases can be slowed down and prevented if they are recognized in time and some can be operated on in a surgery to cure the problem. But don’t delay because the longer you wait the more damage their might be which means less chance of fixing the problem.

Brain disease is becoming more common

There is a lot of conversation about the effects that cardiovascular diseases have on society today but what about the effects of brain disease, a disease that is just as likely to be fatal and can also have other terrifying consequences. When the brain is affected by disease several things can happen. The brain is one big computer that runs our bodies through signals passed along neuron highway that head all over our bodies. The brain consists of hundreds of billions of neuron each with a specific pathway that leads to one or more functions of our body. When drain disease strikes our neurological pathways are all screwed up which causes our body to react as if it did not know what it was doing. Like Parkinson’s disease the body shakes and wobbles uncontrollably because the neurological pathways are firing randomly of not firing when they should be. Muscle movement becomes very difficult and things that we once took for granted become almost impossible. These brain diseases are generally irreversible and the affects are permanent until the end of the lifecycle.

Head injuries are a common cause of brain disease because inflammation of the brain causes great deals of pressure on the nerves and can also burst blood vessels. A burst blood vessel could mean your end or the permanent loss of certain abilities such as sight or bladder control. The brain has so many undiscovered functions that there is no way of knowing the full extent of injury when you have contracted a disease. Unfortunately the disease is usually from our own indulgences such as drinking and smoking. Muscular dystrophy is one common brain disease, as with Alzheimer’s. There is a wide variety of signs and side effects that brain diseases have, some losing your ability to speak while others may bind you to a wheelchair. No matter what, brain disease should be prevented as much as possible by moderating our lifestyle and reducing our stress wherever possible.

Brain Disease will devastate your life

The human brain is the most miraculous and complex thing on the face of the earth. It actually has so many different functions that researchers have only scratched the surface of what it may be capable of. However when someone receives a brain disease there is a realistic chance that many of the function, even those we need for everyday use, can be damaged permanently. The brain alone holds billions and billions or neurons that send messages to our body and to other parts of the brain to make us react, think, remember, speak and naturally they control our movement. Different types of brain disease will most likely stop one or many of these functions from working in the way they should.

When the brain is in perfect health, when it is fueled and amply hydrated, it works faster than a calculator, rapidly and with precise reaction. It is used in both voluntary and involuntary reaction, a good example being the different muscular systems such as our automatic heart beat or the use of our skeletal muscle for our own decided movement patterns. Inflammation of the brain will start to cause vision impairment, weakness and then paralysis. In some cases of inflammation brain damage is permanent affecting the person’s complete way of life by diminishing its quality.

Some different brain diseases include –

Neurological disease, e.g. – muscular dystrophy

Development disorders, e.g. – cerebral palsy

Degenerative diseases of adult, e.g. – Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease

Metabolic diseases

Cerebrovascular disease, e.g. – stroke

Head trauma

Infectious diseases, e.g. – dementia and sifolous

Brain tumors

Symptoms of brain disease can vary greatly because of the vast range of types of diseases that are associated with the brain.

While there are a nearly countless amount of diseases that people can suffer from, there are a percentage of these diseases that are basically harmless. Although the person technically has the disease, the chances of it actually causing any problems for them is nearly non-existent. On the same subject, there is an even larger percentage of diseases that can be cured in a fairly easy manner once they are discovered. Thanks to the advances in the medical field and technology, a lot of diseases which used to be major threats are now not only treatable, but now in many cases, they can actually be cured.

Unfortunately, while medicine has made a lot of progress over the last one to two hundred years, there are still plenty of diseases which are extremely serious. Although it can be difficult to think about, there are a wide variety of diseases that are so serious that they can and do kill people. In some cases, there are treatments for these diseases, but they are only successful in a small percentage of cases. In even worse situations, there are no cures for diseases, and if someone is diagnosed with this type of disease, there is really nothing that can be done for them.

One of the areas where there are many serious diseases are brain diseases. Because the brain plays such a major role in everything that our body does, the impact of brain diseases can be devastating. While there have been plenty of advances in the area of treating brain diseases, they are still causing too many serious problems for far too many people.
