5 Habits That Are Slowly Damaging Your Brain by Hardamz(m): 12:03pm On Feb 16
As we all know, the brain is undoubtedly the most important organ of the body. The brain controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body.

When fatal accidents occur, even if the other parts of the body is fully healed but the patient is brain dead, he or she will be pronounced dead by the doctors as the other organs of the body cannot function properly without the brain signaling to them.

This is an indication that conscious efforts should always be made to avoid doing things that may damage the brain. However, the reverse is the case in the modern world we live in because we are always caught up in doing things that are dangerous to our brain.

Here is a list of some of the habits that are slowly damaging the brain

Not Getting Enough Sleep
Every human being should compulsorily get 7-8 hours of sleep daily, this way the brain can rest and recover from the activities of the previous day. Lack of sleep often leads to memory loss, mood swing, depression, irritability and also cognitive designs. All of these things mentioned causes great damage to the brain.

Studies have shown that lack of sleep can also increase the risk of dementia. The sad reality of dementia is that it does not only affect the aged, it also, in some cases, affects the young. This is a wake up call for you to always get enough sleep in order to keep your brain in the best shape.

Negative Energy
Are you one to hold a grudge, get angry easily or focusing on other negative emotions that just often keeps you in a pessimistic mood? Then you should change this as fast as possible by focusing majorly on positive emotions instead. According to research negative emotions have been linked to cognitive decline. Also, research has also revealed that individuals who dwell on negative emotions had more amyloid and tau deposits in their brain, and these two are the biological markers of Alzheimer’s disease.
