My favourite part that I did this week was testing my lung capacity.

Have you ever tested your lung capacity?

Do you know anything about the human body?

How does your brain control everything in your body?

Well in fact, your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep. Your brain has many different parts that work together. 

The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum (sr-ee-bruhm), cerebellum (seh-ruh-beh-luhm) and brain stem. The brain stem has many basic functions, including regulation of heart rate, breathing, sleeping, and eating. The cerebellum is at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It’s a lot smaller than the cerebrum. But it’s a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination (how your muscles work together). The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum has two hemispheres (or halves). The cerebrum controls voluntary movement, speech, intelligence, memory and emotion. 

The brain is the body’s control center: it sends messages to your body through a network of nerves called “the nervous system”, which controls your muscles, so that you can walk, run and move around.

The brain connects to nerves that travel throughout the body. Nerves from our senses (hearing, seeing, touch, etc) send signals to the brain to let the brain know what is going on in the outside world. The brain also sends signals using nerves to muscles in order to make our body move. 

When you sleep, your brain’s glymphatic (waste clearance) system clears out waste from the central nervous system. It removes toxic byproducts from your brain, which build up throughout the day. This allows your brain to work well when you wake up.

 

Ways of keeping your brain healthy are...

Eating healthy foods that contain vitamins and minerals, they are important for the nervous system.

Getting a lot of exercise (playtime) increases heart rate, which pumps more oxygen to the brain. It aids the release of hormones which provide an excellent environment for the growth of brain cells. 

Wearing a helmet when you ride a bike or play other sports that require head protection. Wearing a helmet reduces your risk of a serious brain injury and death. 

Use your brain by doing challenging activities, such as puzzles, reading, playing music, making art, or anything else that gives your brain a workout. 

Don’t drink alcohol, take drugs, or smoke.

What if everyone became vegetarian?

Can you imagine what life would be like if everyone stopped eating meat, if everyone became a vegetarian?  

About 100 years ago a deadly disease only made to kill farm animals entered the world. 

Nobody knows why, nobody knows how and now because of that everybody became vegetarian. 

The problem is that people are having more health issues because they are finding it hard to get enough protein and iron because they are unable to get their hands on any meat products. 

Another problem is that we are running out of land to grow crops and chopping down the forests to make more land available is causing climate change and widespread fires.

After a while people came up with alternatives to be able to get enough protein. The humans came up with a new source of protein, they also found out that they could start eating plant based foods. 

While the humans were chopping down the forests they discovered a small herd that was resistant to the disease.

The humans soon realised that if you eat too much meat it can cause type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers. 

Vegetarians are probably healthy but as long as they have a balanced diet.
