In my personal experience In order to stay fit I do ballet and tennis. Those two things have helped me stay healthy and fit as well as creating hobbies! I also want to mention that I take vitamin supplements just in case if I am not for filling my normal vitamin intake from foods. So for example I take some vitamin C powder! I think it’s extremely important to work on your health and your physical activity because later in life all these things will affect you in a positive way so you won’t have to worry too much of your health considering the fact that you have been working on your health for the past years. I’ve also read that eating healthy can help you age backwards so you’ll look much younger at the age of 50 then you would if you didn’t take care of yourself physically. <3 have a great day

Is it true that a neuron transfers information in the form of an electrical impulse?
IgorLugansk [536]
True. A neuron is nerve cell. It is considered the functional unit of the nervous system and it carries electrical impulses to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. The electrical impulse or message is carried through the fibrous extensions of the neuron called dendrites to the cell body. It passes through the cell body via the axon and finally to the end brush , a collection of fibers that extend off the axon. The electrical impulse then triggers a release of chemicals which permit the impulse to jump through the synapse, the space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
