TRANSMAG 2013: 10 HABITS THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR BRAIN


1- Not having breakfast
People who do not eat breakfast will have lower blood sugar level which leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain cell degeneration.

2- Overeating
Eating too much causes hardening of brain arteries, which leads to a decrease in mental power.


3-Smoking
Smoking causes shrinkage of brain cells and may possibly lead to Alzheimer disease.



4- High sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.



5- 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.


6- Insomnia (sleep deprivation)
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.


7- Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.


8- Working during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.


9- Lacking in stimulating thought
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain cell shrinkage and/or damage. 


10- Talking rarely with others
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
