10 Daily Habits That Are Destroying Your Brain

 The brain is the most complex and important organ that controls everything we do. However, certain everyday things can have a detrimental effect on him.

So keep a list of bad habits that you should give up. They were named by psychiatrist and neurologist, Dr. Rabih Kashouti in the pages of Neurology & Wellness Center.

Insufficient sleep

Lack of sleep can cause brain function to deteriorate and also increase the risk of dementia

Lack of breakfast

People who skip breakfast have lower blood sugar. This leads to insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain, which causes brain degeneration

Insufficient mobility

Lack of physical activity is bad for both the body and the brain. At least 30 minutes of exercise should be given every day. Every workout creates new brain cells and saturates it with oxygen.

Negative thinking

Stress and anxiety can lead to depression and dementia. Also, people who focus on the negative have more amyloid and tau deposits in their brains - these deposits are a key indicator of Alzheimer's disease.

Lack of communications

Experts believe that an introverted lifestyle is not a very good idea. All people need to go out into the world, get to know it and communicate. It is intellectual conversations that will contribute to the efficiency of the brain.

Multitasking

It turns out that the human brain is actually not wired for multitasking... It increases the stress hormone (cortisol) and adrenaline, which can overstimulate your brain and cause "mental fog or confused thinking."

Alcohol abuse

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a decrease in cognitive functions of the brain and memory impairment

Narcotics

Drug use causes repeated brain shrinkage. Thus, there is a greater chance of getting Alzheimer's disease. By the way, this includes smoking cigarettes or vaping.

Unhealthy food

High levels of sugar and saturated fat in food also kill the brain. Experts advise not to eat processed meat, spicy snacks, cakes and cookies. Also, avoid carbonated drinks and foods with a high salt content as much as possible

Ignoring health problems

If you have health problems, it is important to see a doctor and get treatment. It turns out that ignoring health problems can also lead to brain damage.
