There are a few habits that one has which damages
the brain tissue or cells. Obviously everything we do
has an impact on our bodies. Yet, some specific
habits have a direct negative impact on our brains.
Obviously this isn’t a healthy matter and one must
learn to recognize these habits so that he may get
rid of them. We are aware of a few of them like
stress, sleeplessness and malnutrition, yet, a few
prominent and dominating habits seem to cause
harm to our brain tissue. Here is a list of the ten
most damaging habits present in our daily routine
that may prove to be injurious to health.
1. Leaving breakfast: now a day’s students as
well as adults have a very bad habit of not
taking breakfast in the morning. This leads to
low sugar level all day. It has been proven
through research that the carbohydrates that
one takes in the morning are the real food of
the brain. So by not taking breakfast, our
brain gets an insufficient supply of nutrients
and this becomes a cause of brain
degeneration.
2. Over reacting at matters: for many it might be
a habit now to over react at pity issues, but
the reality lies in the fact that over reacting at
matter imposes a negative influence on your
brain. For example; the brain arteries become
hard and this leads to a decrease of mental
power or what we call spontaneous work of
the brain. So it enforces pressure over the
arteries causing them to stiffen.
3. Smoking: everyone is aware of the negative
effects of smoking and of course it has either
direct or indirect effects on smoking as well.
Moreover, even second hand smokers suffer
because of cigarette smoke around them.
Basically smoking damages cognitive
abilities, memory, leaning skills and thinking
powers. It has also been proved to be a
cause of the renowned diseases like
Alzheimer and dementia.
4. High sugar level or consumption: many
people have a sweet tooth and devote
themselves to eating sweets and less spicy
food. This is good in many cases but then
again, too much of sugar in your blood will
interrupt in the efficient absorption of proteins
and nutrients in our body. They may also
interfere in process of healing of tissue
damage and brain development. So too much
of sugary products in your diet aren’t good
for the brain.
5. Air pollution: this is one of the biggest factors
for the brain damage and is more of a habit
that we have adapted to. The main reason
being that our brains consumes the most
oxygen in our body. This means that the
consumption of oxygen is most by our brain.
Because of air pollution, the supply of oxygen
to the brain gets decreased and it also
decreases the efficiency of the brain. It is
now no lesser than a habit to consume
polluted air.
6. Insomnia or sleep deprivation: many people
take it as a disease if they don’t get good
sleep at night. Mostly teenagers stay up late
purposely just to party. This of course has a
negative effect on the brain since we laser
the time of rest required by the brain and the
body and causes long term damages. This
habit of sleeping late at night or no sleep at all
accelerates the death of the brain cells.
7. Covered heads while sleeping: this may be
interesting and new to you. It is about pure
logic. If one sleeps with his head covered
with a pillow or something, then it obviously
does not allow the carbon dioxide to move
away. The concentration of carbon dioxide
hence increases and that of oxygen
increases. This is very harmful for the brain.
One must go over their sleeping habits or tell
someone to keep a check on them.
8. Working when you are ill: many people show
much devotion to work. This is true for those
who strive all day and night without taking
rest. They ruin their health and end up being
sick. More torturous, they work when they
are sick and damage the effectiveness of the
brain. Even if you’re just studying when
you’re sick, your pressurizing your brain to
work when it honestly can’t function right.
9. Low water consumption: the importance of
water is well known to all. 70% of our body is
made up of water. So when we lower our
intake of water, we basically compromise of a
crucial need of our brain. Water is linked to
many functions and the brain readily needs it.
So you need to increase the intake of water
as soon as possible for proper body
functioning.
10. Lack of interaction: for many people it might
be normal for not to speak much. But then
again there are those people who rarely ever
talk. This is really wrong. You must speak up
so that your brain cells are exercised and you
don’t damage your brain cells by not using
them at all in this aspect.
