Brain damage or brain injury is the
destruction or degeneration of brain cells. Brain damage may occur due to a
wide range of conditions, illnesses, or injuries. Common causes of focal or
localized brain damage are physical trauma (traumatic brain injury), stroke,
aneurysm, or neurological illness.
Avoid some of the Brain Damaging Habits:
- Avoiding Breakfast: Generally avoiding breakfast will have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration and to underperformance in terms of thinking, processing, and retrieval and memory skills.
- Smoking: It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. Smoking is never useful to the health so try to avoid smoking.
- Overeating: This can flood the brain with chemical which interferes with clear thinking, logical analysis and memory.
- Lack of Stimulation: thinking is the best way to train your brain. Lack of stimulation can prevent new neural pathways from forming. So play brain stimulating games, solve puzzles.
- High Sugar Consumption: Consuming too much sugar will interfere with the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
- Sleep Deprivation: sleep allows your brain to rest. The present generation suffers from the curse of insomnia. Long term deprivation from sleep will accentuate the death of brain cells.
- Air Pollution: this has been the greatest cause of worry for peoples living in cities. The brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in our body. When we inhale polluted air, it decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, and brings a decrease in efficiency of the brain.
- Talking rarely: The intellectual conversation will promote the efficiency of brain so share your thoughts and listen to the people.
- Head covered while Sleeping: It is been found that sleeping with the head partially or fully covered by bedding would result in a 92.8% chance of suffering from either an early stage, middle stage, or late stage of dementia, by the age of 70.
