We should be training our brain as much as we can. Avoid Brain Damaging Habits which actually harm you.
7 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits You Must Be Aware Of
No Breakfast
Being on a diet or to save time, many people choose to skip breakfast, and in the process they damage their brain. After your sleep, your brain requires nutrients. Skipping breakfast deprives the brain of these much-needed nutrients. Not eating breakfast will also lead to low blood sugar, which is also bad for your health.
Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered decreases the concentration of oxygen and increases the concentration of carbon dioxide,thus leading to brain damaging effects.
Enough Sleep
Sleep is essential for your physical and mental health. A good night’s sleep (8 hours) is vital for your brain, as well as your internal organs. It has been recently discovered that the brain cleanses itself of toxins only during the deep sleep cycle. Sleep deprivation also accelerates the death of brain cells, which can lead to impaired memory and reduced faculties.
High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
Not Engaging In Stimulating Thoughts
Your brain is like a muscle, and if you don’t exercise it – it will shrink. The deeper the thoughts – the better the exercise your brain gets, and the healthier it will be in the long-term. So read a book, watch a documentary or play some puzzle games, just keep that thinker working.
Multitasking
The habit of multitasking can make the brain to shrink. It is better you train schedule habits and organize something that is not often do a lot of activities together in one time. You should know your limits.
