Thoughts for the brain…
Research has taken me all kinds of directions these days and I thought this was something wortwhile to post as the body and mind are more connected than we think.
HEALTH and BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS (you should try to avoid)
1. No Breakfast
People who do not eat breakfast typically will have a lower blood sugar level for the rest of the day and will develop chronic low blood sugar levels if continued for long periods of time. This could further lead to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating - This can cause hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power and capacity.
3. Smoking - This causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar Consumption - Too much sugar can interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with further brain development.
5. Air Pollution - The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation - Sleep allows our body, intestines and brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the loss of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping - Sleeping with your head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness - working hard or studying with a sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as possible damage.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts - thinking is the best way to train our brain and keep it in shape; lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may
cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely - Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain if done on a regular basis.
