Well yes, and we can also say that it is one of the largest organs in your body and is the main control center for every function that happens in your day-to-day life. The human brain carries a lot of information around and has an endless list of responsibilities! The brain is also surprisingly\u00a0delicate. In recent years, the\u00a0World Health Organization\u00a0released what they consider to be the\u00a0top 10 brain-damaging habits\u00a0that are common among people today.<\/p>\n<p><u>10 Dangerous Brain-Damaging Habits to Stop Immediately<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>No Breakfast<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We all know that\u00a0breakfast\u00a0is one of the most important meals of the day, right? And yes, the endless debate may go on as to\u00a0what we should eat for breakfast and when or how we should eat it,\u00a0but we know for sure that those who do not eat breakfast will have lower blood sugar levels. The experts say that after a long night without eating, this can lead to an insufficient supply of nutrients to your brain. If repeated often enough over a lifetime this can cause\u00a0brain degeneration.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Overeating<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Well yes, we already feel guilty enough about this one! And, besides making us gain weight, feel bloated and damaging our self-esteem,\u00a0overeating\u00a0also causes hardening of brain arteries which can in turn decrease mental power.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Smoking<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Smoking\u00a0is bad for one\u2019s health, we all know that \u2013 right? And, the most terrifying side effect of smoking is that is causes \u201cmultiple brain shrinkage\u201d. It is also a suspected culprit in Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other dementia-related diseases.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>High Sugar Consumption<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First, you should know about the\u00a0dangers of sugar\u00a0and how it is\u00a0hidden in nearly everything we eat\u00a0these days. And yes, the experts say that ditching the sugar habit will bring you more health benefits\u00a0than most people realize. If you\u2019re not convinced yet, turns out that\u00a0high sugar consumption has been shown to disrupt the body\u2019s ability to absorb proteins and nutrients,\u00a0which causes malnutrition and\u00a0issues with brain development. We may be starving ourselves and not even know it!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Air Pollution \u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I really think that this one is a bit harder to solve on an individual basis! Or, unless you walk around with a face mask all the time. This means that your brain needs incredible amounts of oxygen to function properly (the reason people pass out so quickly or even die when deprived of air for a short amount of time) and constantly\u00a0inhaling pollution decreases the oxygen supply to the body, leading to a\u00a0decrease in brain efficiency.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Sleep Deprivation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know \u2013 according to the experts, long term\u00a0sleep deprivation\u00a0speeds up the death of brain cells. We want and need to keep our brain cells around for as long as possible! Sleep gives your brain a chance to\u00a0rest and repair\u00a0itself after long and sometimes stressful days. Make sleep a priority and do what it takes to get more of it!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Head Covered While Sleeping<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll be shocked when we tell you that sleeping with your head covered goes along with #5 in the fact that it reduces your oxygen intake at night. Since you are asleep, you might not even realize that you\u2019re light-headed or air deprived. You also raise the chance of inhaling too much carbon dioxide. Play it safe and keep the covers off your face!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Working Your Brain During Illness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We all live in a modern and fast society and some of us are so driven or determined to succeed that we refuse to rest when we get sick. And, the real and ugly truth is, when our body shows signs of illness, it\u2019s often the body\u2019s way of telling us we need to\u00a0slow down\u00a0and reconsider our current lifestyle. Our body is also telling us that our brain needs a break! Pushing through sickness, continuing to study or work or do whatever it is we do every day can actually\u00a0decrease the effectiveness of and damage the brain.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Lacking in Stimulating Thoughts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is very simple and it means that if we don\u2019t use our brain and stretch it with new and stimulating thoughts, it will shrink! Yes, you got that right \u2013 it will shrink!\u00a0Thinking is a powerful tool\u00a0and throughout all the years of your life, the thoughts you think\u00a0create new pathways in the brain.\u00a0The neuroplasticity of the brain ensures that you won\u2019t stay the same forever \u2013 you\u2019ll either create new pathways and improvements in your mind, or your brain will shrink to accommodate your lack of effort to think and discover new things. Weird, right?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Talking Rarely<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This one is similar to the previous one \u2013 talking to people helps your brain to grow and develop. Participating in intellectual conversations will stretch and strengthen your brain and help the efficiency of the brain over time.<\/p>\n<p><u>Well, there you have it, and as you can see, your brain is a marvelous gift. It\u2019s fun learning new facts about how to take care of and develop the best brain possible. Do what it takes to keep your brain healthy and strong for your entire life and you won\u2019t regret it.
