World Brain Day 2025 (July 22) is being observed globally with the theme, โBrain Health for All Ages,โ . It highlights the importance of brain health at every stage of life, from before birth through childhood, adulthood, and old age.
On this occasion, Dr. Samir Parekh, Senior Neurologist at Apex Group of Hospitals, Borivali, emphasised that brain health begins even before birth. Maternal care and nutrition during pregnancy play a crucial role in a childโs neurological development. โThroughout life, factors such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, mental stimulation, social connection, and effective management of chronic conditions are essential for preserving brain function,โ Dr. Parekh says.
Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders like stroke, epilepsy, dementia, and Parkinsonโs disease continue to impact millions globally, leading to disability and a reduced quality of life. So, Dr. Parekh underlines the importance of early detection, lifestyle modifications, and timely treatment in reducing the burden of these conditions. He, therefore, urges everyone to adopt brain-healthy habits. These include regular health checkups, quality sleep, stress management, and staying mentally active. All this helps reduce the risk of neurological diseases and ensure a healthier, independent life.
The Apex Group of Hospitals is committed to providing advanced neurological care, preventive guidance, and community education to promote brain health for people of all ages.
World Brain Day is observed annually to raise awareness about brain health and neurological disorders.ย It’s a global initiative led by theย World Federation of Neurology (WFN). It helps promote brain health and encourage preventative measures against neurological conditions. The day highlights the importance of understanding brain health and its impact on overall well-being throughout life.
World Brain Day is a powerful reminder that brain health is a lifelong priority, essential for personal well-being and for building a healthier society.
