Here is why neurological health is important:

• Our nervous system is the body’s control system It is in charge of everything, from how our heart beats and how we breathe to how we move and think.
• Neurological disorders can affect how we live These issues can make it hard for someone to take care of themselves, do their job, or enjoy life.
