According to Oxford Dictionary (NEW 9th Edition). Brain is the organ inside the head that controls movement, thought, memory and feeling. Now, assume this specially structured organ got damage or contacted a serial infection. What a World!

The brain processes billions of data per seconds and so doing, it needs to rest in some period in order to regain its normal function of maintaining the body everyday. But there are some dangerous habits which we practice that can hurt functionality of our brain.

Here Are Eight Habits That Can Hurt Your Brain
1. Sleeping Late At Night
Lack of sleep may be a cause of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. It is best to have regular sleeping hours. If you have trouble with sleep, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and electronics in the evening and start a good bedtime ritual.

2. Spend Much Time Alone
Human are wired for social contact. It is not about how many Facebook friends you have, what matters is a real sense of interaction. People who have that with even just a few close friends are happier and more productive. They are less likely to suffer from brain decline and Alzheimer's. So if you feel alone call some friends or start something new to do or activities that involves other people.

3. Eating Junk food
Parts of the brain linked to learning, memory and mental health are smaller in people who have slot of junk food and drinks in their diet. Green leafy vegetables on the other hand preserve brain function and slow mental decline. So eat fruits and leafy greens instead of snacking on a bag of chips.

4. Headphones
Increasing your earphone at full volume, can permanently damage your hearing in only 30 minutes. But it is not just your ears, hearing loss in older adults is linked to brain problems like Alzheimer’s and loss of brain tissue. This occurs because the brain has to work very hard to understand what is being said around you that it cannot store what you have heard into memory. So the next time you want listen to your headphones you might want to reduce volume to a minimal volume and try not listen for more than a couple of hours.

5. Not Exercising Enough
The longer you go without regular exercise, the more likely your chances of having dementia. There is a likely chance of getting diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. You do not need to start running marathons, just walk around the neighborhood. The important thing is to do it at least 3 days a week.

6. Smoking
Smoking can shrink your brain. It makes the memory of the brain poor and makes you twice the rate of getting dementia, including Alzheimer's. It also causes heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.

7. Over Eating
Eating too much food even though it is the right kind of food may not enable your brain to build the strong network of connections that help you think and remember. Over eating causes overweight, which can cause heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

8. Staying In The Dark
If you do not get enough natural light, you may get depressed and that can slow the brain. Research shows that sunlight helps keep your brain active and functional.

We hereby urge everyone to stay away from the above listed act which is common this days.

OP, I beg to differ on number 1&2.

Some of us live with insomnia and its on record that most people who sleep less do so because their brains doesn't shut down quickly ie. Their brain is always working.

On being alone I am an introvert and it's not a secret that introverts do well and thrive better when alone, because we have strong imaginative ability.

Basically, this list is trash. Please forgive my sincerity I do that a lot.

Let me quickly consult ifa if all these are true
Ifa is dead. It was my hand that moved against its life three days ago, Ifa refused have word with me so I separated its head from its neck out of sheer anger and placed it upon pike. Tell others what I just shared with you. Make them know that I'm not sorry for what I did, I'm just sorry they won't hear from Ifa again.

No scientific basis for any of these points. Did the op dream them up? I can tell you for free that the smartest people on the planet have 7 out of these habits (many of them aren't really habits).
Some people just put all sorts of facts together. Bad advice.
