Keeping your Brain in Good Shape

Wear Your Seat Belt- When you are in a car, train, airplane or any other type of transportation it is important to wear your seat belt. If you get in a crash the seat belt will keep you from flying out the window and can stop you from getting a serious injury to your head and brain.

Wear Your Helmet- Brain Buckets If you're biking, skating, or skateboarding you need to wear your helmet because it protects your head and brain from injuries if you fall.

Stay Away From Illegal Drugs- Drugs can change the way your brain functions and some drugs permanently damage the brain.

Look Both Ways Before Crossing The Street- Looking both ways before you cross the street is important because a car could come speeding down the road and you wouldn’t know it was coming.

Understand The Dangers Involved With Sports- Football, boxing and the martial arts can be very risky and you need to know what safety gear to wear. Even soccer, diving, horseback riding, skiing and climbing have risks.

Eat Right- When you eat right you not only giving energy to your brain but you are also helping your body stay fit.

Look Before You Dive- Looking before you dive into a pool, a lake or any body of water is important. People do die from diving into pools without water. Be sure not to jump into lakes without looking because there could be rocks at the bottom. You could get a serious brain injury from colliding into a hard surface.
