Avoid some of the Main Brain Damaging Habits

Avoid some of the Main Brain Damaging Habits

             In our daily lives we carry out a set of negative habits that affect our health and our minds in particular. Here are some habits that should be avoided.
1. No Breakfast – People who don’t eat breakfast have lower blood sugar levels. This can lead to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain (and to underperformance in terms of thinking, processing, retrieval and memory skills).

2. Overreacting – This can flood the brain with chemical which interferes with clear thinking, logical analysis and memory.

3. Smoking – This can cause a shrinkage in the brain, and possibly lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

4. High Sugar Consumption – Consuming too much sugar interferes with the absorption of proteins and nutrients. These are essential for healthy 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. Again, this can reduce and interfere with the brain’s healthy functioning.

6. Sleep Deprivation – Sleep allows our brain to rest and rejuvenate itself. Long term sleep deprivation accelerates the death of brain cells. It interferes with putting down new memory traces, effective problem solving and memory retention.

7. Exercising your Brain in Times of Illness – Working or studying during times of sickness can lead to a ineffective thinking, poor processing, and to poor memory and retention.

8. Lack of Stimulation – Thinking is the best way to train our brain. Lack of stimulation can prevent new neural pathways from forming. It can also prevent us from reaching our potential in terms of creative thinking and analytical thinking.

    These are some main key points! Great list of things to avoid! :D

Prevention of Alzheimer

Image
The person must take preventive measures to avoid the disease, especially those with a family history of this disease. Prevention includes avoiding and replacing the wrong practices with health, including: Regular and daily exercise, as this will help maintain the activity of the brain and nerves naturally even after reaching a large age, and these sports: jogging, swimming. Energize the brain daily with some mental exercises, reading, writing, thinking, because this will help to renew brain cells and protect them from inactivity and damage. To get a healthy social life, the association of people helps to get busy, and the mind does not surrender to the negative thoughts and boredom that leads to its inactivity, and the mental illness which is a catalyst for Alzheimer's disease. Eat healthy food containing nutrients such as Omega 3, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, healthy and natural fats, and must avoid foods harmful to the mind, which cause him to id

A brief overview of the brain

Image
A brief overview of the brain      The human brain is a highly complex organ, made of countless neurons and fibers; white matter and gray matter; lobes and glands. These structural components give the brain its form, but the way they connect with each other gives the brain its function. Until recently, scientists could only really study one aspect (structure or function) of the brain at a time. But now, scientists from several disciplines have worked together to study brain structure and function simultaneously and offer a new atlas for studying the whole brain at once. A new study published in Scientific Reports combines the best of several disciplines: neuroscience, image processing, and network theory. Researchers evaluated the brains of healthy adults to analyze the brain’s structural components and their functional activities. Diffusion images provided information about structural connections and functional magnetic resonance images provided information about resti
