Your post has exceeded my expectations. It’s informative, engaging, and well-structured.
Exercising not only helps in weight loss and fitness, and in fact has physical benefits, but also helps in brain health and better functioning.
Healthy relationships are as important as diet and physical activity, and it is important because if the relationship is not based on principles and rules, like an improper diet, it will have a negative effect and cause weight gain.
The more efficiently and usefully we use our brain and body parts, the better we can protect ourselves from aging earlier.
The organs of the brain are in contact with each other and work under each other
