There are 8 simple habits to avoid or break if you’d like to keep your mental acuity and health.
1) Breakfast: Eating breakfast is not only good for your metabolism, it’s also important for your brain. Those who do not eat breakfast will have a lower blood sugar level which leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2) Too much of a good thing: Not only does overeating cause weight issues, it also causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3) Smoking: This causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. This is also true for those continuously exposed to second hand smoke.
4) Sugar, Sugar and more Sugar: Too much sugar consumption will effect the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5) Air pollution: Our brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in our body. Therefore, inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6) Sleep: Sleep give our brain a rest therefore a long-term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. A healthy amount of sleep for adults is 6-8 hours of sleep. In addition, how you sleep is important. If you sleep with your head under the covers, this increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decreases the concentration of oxygen inhaled which could lead to brain damaging effects.
7) Working hard: There is of course nothing wrong with working or studying hard. However, if you are sick, pushing through it and working just as hard will decrease your effectiveness. Your brain and your body need some rest. It’s better to give it the necessary downtime so that you come back refreshed and more efficient.
8) Think think think: The best way to stay sharp is to constantly stimulate your brain with thought. Lack of this stimulation may cause brain shrinkage.
