Well, Yes, you read that right, today as one more step towards healthy living, we are going to discuss all those habits that you must avoid to maintain the health of your brain. Read on to find more.
Skipping Breakfast:
Well, we that most of you are used to this one but you must immediately stop skipping your breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of the day after a long break of almost 7 to 8 hours and you need to provide proper nutrients and energy to the body for the brain and other parts to function properly, therefore skipping your breakfast is not an option. Instead, you must eat breakfast like a king and provide the body with healthy food for it to function well throughout the day.
Over-Eating:
Believe it or not, but overeating makes not only your body but also your brain lazy and therefore you must avoid overeating at all costs. Overeating leads to the decomposition of cholesterol plaques and the thickening of the blood vessels of the brain causing the reduced blood supply to the brain cells which can cause serious damage to the normal functioning of the brain.
Lack Of Sleep:
Sleep is as important as food and therefore, lack of sleep can also result in damaging the brain. Our mind needs rest after hours of regular work and sleep is the only mode for it to relax and therefore it is important that you take at least 7 to 8 hours of good sleep in a day for your brain to stay healthy. Without enough sleep, brain cells die and it becomes difficult for you to remember things.
Eating Sugary Fruits:
We consume sugar in most of our beverages and obviously, desserts and high consumption of refined sugars is known to destroy the ability of the brain and the body to absorb protein and nutrients. Poor nutrition leads to malnourishment and brain disorders like poor memory and other problems like anxiety and depression and therefore, it is important to keep track of the amount of alcohol you consume in a day.
Working When Sick:
We often tend to feel sick when we work however if we work even when we are sick, our brain’s efficiency tends to take a dramatic hit which only adds to the stress. When we fall sick, our brain and our body is already working hard enough to fight the disease and putting more pressure on your brain and body will only add to the burden. Therefore, when you are sick, avoid any work stress at all cost.
Lack Of Socializing:
Socializing and interacting with friends increases and encourages the growth and development of the brain and also improves its capacity to work. Meeting new people or talking to your colleagues about work-related matters or sharing any information is a healthy exercise of the brain that must be practiced. Without much socializing and communication, one might feel depressed and therefore harm the brain in many possible ways.
Well, you know what, a healthy exercise in a day would be? To pamper yourself with a flower bouquet or a flower box in Bangalore and wherever you are, blooms tend to light your day with happiness and even help your brain cheer up a little.
