You may be surprised, but it's a fact - sometimes we indulge our brains without thinking.
The brain surprises scientists with endless possibilities. One of the tender and important organs, which is able to process a lot of information in a second, is still an object of study.
As you know, the most harmful habit is tobacco consumption. Tobacco is very dangerous for the whole body and unfortunately, its harmful effects have a particularly negative effect on brain functions. Tobacco damages blood vessels and causes chronic
inflammation, which in turn creates a prerequisite for the development of a number of dangerous pathologies. For example, it is known that the risk of developing dementia is twice as high in smokers.
Some habits that are harmful to the brain:
- Insomnia, problems related to sleep;
- You spend too much time alone;
- You spend most of the day motionless, you don't like an active lifestyle, you can't remember the last time you took a long walk;
- You eat a lot. Yes, even if your diet is full of healthy products, remember, extra calories are bad for the brain;
- The brain does not like fast food products, sweet and carbonated drinks, fatty dishes (limit similar types of food as much as possible);
- Listening to your favorite music is one of the most effective methods of relaxation, but you should take care of both your ears and your brain when using headphones. Do not listen to music at high volume and do not use headphones for a long time;
- You spend a large part of the day in a space where it is dark, i.e. natural sunlight does not reach properly;
- Constantly thinking about negative information, you are mainly feeding the brain with negative information.
