Control

The brain controls everything and the body exists in a perfectly symbiotic state with the brain. Many thoughts are about survival of the brain: to feed the brain properly; to feed the body well. If the brain dies then so does the body. Or the other way around. The one without the other will fail. In a normally functioning body, I believe that many age related mental problems can be related to poor diet. And that the brain should be treated in the same way as a muscle: ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’.
