Right, the topic of today’s lecture is “The Brain”. Well, the brain is an absolutely amazing organ. It consists of grey and white matter. It weighs just over a kilo—just imagine that, like a kilo of potatoes. But this is a very special kilo. It uses twenty percent of the body’s energy and it contains over one hundred billion cells.
One hundred billion cells! These make up nerve cells, which are connected by electrical impulses. The brain sends messages using electrical impulses, the same way as a computer works. But there are more possible connections
TAPESCRIPTS
in one brain than there are atoms in the universe. Just think about that again. There are more possible connections in your brain than there are atoms in the universe. Amazing, isn’t it Makes a normal computer look simple, doesn’t it
So, what do we know about this organ called “the brain” Scientists who study the brain have learnt a lot about it in the last ten years. Like explorers exploring the world, they’ve found that there are different areas in the brain and these areas are responsible for different functions. We now know which parts of the brain are related to different parts
TAPESCRIPTS
A good example of this can be seen in people who have lost an arm or a leg in an accident. Though they don’t have an arm or a leg, they can still have feelings from it, like pain. Incredible, isn’t it
You also have different areas for different kinds of thinking. For example, you have one area for your first language and another area for a foreign language that you learn when you are older. Interesting, isn’t it ...But even more interesting than locating different areas of the brain is...

P: Good morning and welcome to Healthy Living. This morning we’re here to discuss the brain. This is Professor Kim, a brain expert. Welcome, Professor.
K: Thank you for having me.
P: Let’s turn to our first caller now. Anna, are you there What would you like to ask Professor Kim
A: Oh hi, good morning. Yes. I’ve noticed that my memory isn’t as good as it used to be, and I’ve read about brain exercises—you know, crossword puzzles, games, quizzes, that kind of
TAPESCRIPTS
thing. But do they really work Should I try them
P: What’s your advice, Professor Kim
K: Well, the answer is yes and no. Puzzles and games are good for us to keep our brain active. However, to really exercise the brain, you need to challenge it. That means doing something new, something that perhaps you are not good at. This keeps the brain flexible and helps improve memory.
P: So what kinds of activities do you suggest
K: You could try learning a new language, learning to dance or learning to paint...anything that takes you outside your comfort zone.
TAPESCRIPTS
P: Great. Can we have our next caller, please Hi, John, what’s your question, please
J: Oh, hi. I’ve got some big exams coming up next month, and I was just wondering if there are certain foods that are good for the brain. What do you suggest
K: Great question. Your diet can definitely improve your brain health. If your brain has the correct fuel, it can work at its best. One thing you can do is to cut down on junk food. Foods that help the brain are natural foods: fruit, vegetables, and so on. It might also be a good idea to increase your intake of
TAPESCRIPTS
Omega-3 fats, which are an important brain food. These are found in food like oily fish and eggs.
P: Great advice. And finally, can we hear from Bella
B: Oh, hello. My question is about physical exercise. Is there any particular kind of exercise that can improve the health of my brain What should I do
K: I advise you to do exercise that is good for your heart, such as walking and running. These kinds of exercise increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, which is also good for the brain.
