10 brain damaging habits!!!


Avoid these 10 brain damaging habits to maintain a strong and healthy brain:
1. No breakfast
Skipping breakfast decreases blood sugar level, leading to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain, ultimately causing brain deterioration.

2 . Overeating
Overeating hardens of the brain arteries, hence weakening mental power.

3. Smoking
Smoking causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High sugar consumption
Consuming large amounts of sugar disrupts the absorption of proteins and nutrients. The brain suffers malnutrition brain development is interrupted.
5. Air pollution
Effective brain functioning requires oxygen. Inhaling polluted air cuts down the supply of oxygen to the brain, reducing brain efficiency.

Is your brain is diabetic?

As we all know that high blood sugar levels can effect your brain health. Now a new research suggests that even levels that are only the upper range of the normal level could potentially be detrimental.

The researchers took a group of people whose blood sugars level are high but not high enough to be classified as having diabetes. They found that even at below pre-diabetes level, a high level of blood sugar could create shrinkage in specific areas of the brain when compared with individuals which have a lower or average blood sugars level.

This study demonstrates the link between blood sugar and brain health even when those levels are not that high. It is therefore important not only for important for your physical health but also for your mental health to check carefully your blood sugar levels.
