🌞 Summer Heat and its effect on brain health 🌞
➡️Heat stroke: High temperatures can cause the body to overheat, leading to heat stroke.

They can lead to permanent brain damage or death if not treated promptly.
➡️Heat exhaustion: High temperatures can also cause dehydration, leading to heat exhaustion.
Patients complains of fatigue, headache, and nausea.
➡️Migraine tend to worsen during hot weather.
It may be due to the changes in blood flow and release of certain neurotransmitters.
➡️Epilepsy can worsen due to changes in brain activity during hot weather.
Ambient heat affects the insulation of nerve fibers, leading to worsening of multiple sclerosis.
This can cause fatigue, muscle weakness and difficulty walking.
Extra precautions during summer.
Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day, hydrate, and use a fan or AC to keep cool.

▪ How Age and Family History Affect Your Risk of Parkinson's Disease ▪
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder that affects the nervous system, specifically the dopamine-producing cells in the brain.
Risk factors include:
➡Age: risk of Parkinson's disease increases with age, commonly over 60.
➡Family history: Few people with Parkinson's have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child)
with the condition.
➡Toxins: toxins, such as pesticides and herbicides, increase the risk of Parkinson's
➡Head trauma: especially multiple or severe injuries, have an increased risk of developing Parkinson's
➡Inflammation: caused by longstanding conditions such as COPD or rheumatoid arthritis may increase the risk of Parkinson's.
Lastly, some genetic mutations can increase the risk of developing Parkinson's but this percentage remains small.
