Somethings, our senses make our body do things without us realising it.
When our sense organs collect information from the surroundings, our brain tells the different parts of our body to do things.

When we smell food, our brain tells us to eat the food.

When we see the morning sun, our brain tells our body to get out of bed.

When we see rain, our brain tells our legs to look for shelter.

1.8 Taking care of our sense organs

How should we take care of our sense organs?

Eyes: We should take care of our eyes in the following ways.

We should read in good light. Reading in dim light is bad for our eyes.

We shoudl rest our eyes for five minutes every hour when reading or watching television programmes.

We should wear sunglasses when we are outdooers. This helps to protect our eyes from bright light such as sunlight.

We should not go to places with a lot of smoke and dust. Smoke and dust can make our eyes itch.

We should go for an eye check once a year. If we cannot see well, we should get a pair of spectacles. spectacles can help us to see better.
