10 DON’TS for Brain Health Maintenance

Avoid these 10 brain damaging habits to maintain a strong and healthy brain:

1. No breakfast
Skipping breakfast decreases blood sugar level, leading to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain, ultimately causing brain deterioration.

2 . Overeating
Overeating hardens of the brain arteries, hence weakening mental power.

3. Smoking
Smoking causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High sugar consumption
Consuming large amounts of sugar disrupts the absorption of proteins and nutrients. The brain suffers malnutrition brain development is interrupted.

5. Air pollution
Effective brain functioning requires oxygen. Inhaling polluted air cuts down the supply of oxygen to the brain, reducing brain efficiency.

6 . Sleep deprivation
When we sleep our brain rests. Long term sleep deprivation accelerates the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Covering the head while sleeping increases the level of carbon dioxide and lowers the level of oxygen that may cause to brain damage.

8. Straining your brain during illness
Working hard or studying during sickness may reduce the effectiveness of the brain as well as lead to brain damage.

9. Not engaging in thought-provoking activities
The best means to train our brain are thinking. Avoiding thought-provoking activities may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Keeping silent
Stimulating conversations will encourage brain efficiency.
