This story explains the function of the brain and describes how and why it is important to have a healthy brain.   

  • Your brain is important because it helps you do EVERYTHING that you do – so we have to keep our brain healthy. 
  • A healthy brain is dependent on Social, Physical, Emotional and Cognitive (SPEC) health. There are four things you can do to keep your brain healthy; doing something by yourself (social), making your body move (physical), being happy (emotional), and thinking (cognitive). 
  • If your brain is healthy, you can do anything.
