TOO MANY FOOTABLL HITS CAN CHANGE THE BRAIN

Scientists discover former football player had developed serious brain damage

Well, I have chosen this article because I’m very into sport and I love being informed about all that means new discoveres or information of my sport, (handball) and others.

This article speaks about the hits in football. A new study has discovered that too many fotball hits can make some changes in the brain. Our brain has tau cells, which move nutrients and other materials from one part of a cell to another. But after head trauma, tau proteins can change. They may form thread-like tangles that jam up the transport system. The problem is this important change in our brain can produce Alzheimer’s, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) which make people more agressive, moody and depressed. Then, the article speaks about a footballer, who started to have a symptoms of CTE, (imnsonia, memory loss, blurred visión, etc) but he is still playing. Then, he started to have hurts and problems, so he quit the game… after some studies, he died with a heart-attack with only 25 years old. Since his death, the study continued until our days.

Now, this discovery shows us that have too many hits in football can make our brain vulnerable to some diseases… and it helps us to know what sports we can do or what sports we can do but having more caution, because the health is the first, and we can’t make sport (synonym of healthy life) a danger for our lives.
