Attending to alerts of the human brain prevents it from eating itself and facing risks: Issste / @drpedrozenteno @ISSSTE_mx >>>

#ISSSTE.- The brain -the human body’s master organ- gives warning signals when something is wrong and it is important to pay attention to them. Eating a healthy diet and staying well hydrated avoids the risk of autophagy (eating itself), which can lead to neurological deterioration, sleep, character and emotional alterations, warned Octavio Jesús Arroyo Zavala, neurosurgeon at the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (Issste) (Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers).

«The brain calls our attention in many ways: with persistent tingling sensation in some part of the body, lack of strength, loss of sensitivity, problems in perception of touch, vision, hearing, taste, smell; vertigo, acute headaches; alterations in speech, balance, memory, behavior and mood,» said the head of the Neurosurgery Service of the «Gral. Ignacio Zaragoza» Regional Hospital.

On the occasion of the International Brain Day, which is commemorated today, he indicated that it is very important not to ignore or minimize this type of symptoms that can be indications to diagnose and treat in time some pathology that, otherwise, will affect this organ or mental health.

«Sometimes we do not pay attention to these signs; we take an aspirin, we take remedies recommended by other people and we must pay attention to them to avoid further damage to our health. Go to your Issste clinic with your doctor or physician for a professional evaluation and to clarify any doubts.»

Among the most frequent pathologies, he detailed, the most important is trauma due to accidents; they are followed by what we know as cerebral vascular diseases (CVD): hemorrhages, embolisms and thrombosis; tumors; neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson; in the field of behavioral disorders: depression, anxiety and addiction disorders.
