Whats the most important organ in your body? Without your heart, your blood wouldnt flow, and your cells would die. Without your lungs, no oxygen would get to your blood. And without your kidneys, you couldnt get rid of nitrogenous waste. OK, so theyre all crucial to your survival.

But when it comes to taking care of yourself, theres one organ that often gets overlooked: your brain. Whats truly ironic is, its your brain thats doing the overlooking. Just think about it for a moment: Your brain tells your heart how fast and how powerfully to beat. Your brain tells your lungs how often and how deeply to breathe. Your brain tells your kidneys OK, you get the picture.

And your brain also allows you to read, write, and speak, to form memories, and to experience moods. In short, your brain is the engine of your very identity.

The upcoming Food Revolution Summit, a free online summit featuring 25 of the worlds most trusted food and nutrition experts (including Dr. Greger and Dr. Barnard) will discuss the brain in relation to lifestyle and diet. Running from April 25-May 3, the summit will present the most up-to-date research and information about food, nutrition, disease prevention, immune health, and environmental stewardship.

When something goes wrong in the brain, it can be pretty terrifying. Take Alzheimers disease, for example.

Alzheimers is one of the most feared diseases on the planet for many sad reasons. Worldwide, nearly 44 million people suffer from it. And in the U.S., 1 in 3 seniors dies with some form of dementia.

Not only is the incidence of Alzheimers rising rapidly, but the human costs of the disease can far exceed those for diseases that affect the body but leave the mind intact.

From the disease sufferers themselves, who experience losing their memories and identities slowly and painfully, to the family members who watch their strong and wise elders reduced to husks of themselves, and who often have to step into overwhelming responsibility as caretakers, Alzheimers exacts a tragic toll.

While Alzheimers may be the most visible brain disease, medical science has now identified over 1,000 other neurological diseases, not even counting the disorders that may produce neurological symptoms like brain fog and headaches.

It would be hard to find anyone who doesnt agree that a healthy brain is required for a good life, especially as we age. Despite this fact, most people today are eating foods and engaging in lifestyle behaviors that dramatically increase their risk of Alzheimers, dementia, depression, and many other brain problems.

Whats worse is the groundwork for these issues is often laid decades before the onset of symptoms. Meaning you could be at risk right now and not even know it.

Thats all pretty bleak. But heres some very good news: Your brain is resilient! And if problems havent progressed too far, it can recover and heal when you give it the right support.

Since you cant change the past, its what you do right now that matters most.

Easier said than done, though, right? A 2015 AARP study found nine out of 10 people believe brain health is important, but most werent aware of how to improve it.

So, do you want to know what you can do for your brain health, right now?

Then check out our top seven brain health resources designed to give you the science-backed knowledge you need to protect your brain and help prevent diseases like Alzheimers, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's from ever getting a foothold.

Even if youve eaten poorly and abused your body and mind in the past, heres what you need to know, and to do, right now to reverse the damage and protect your brain for the rest of your life.
