Revive Your Brain !

7 Bad habits that destroy your brain

• Not Exercising
  Exercise imporves memory by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
  
  This helps you form synapses and improves learning & memory. Non exercising on a regular basis is a recipe for brain atrophy.
  
• Not Getting Enough Sleep
  Without quality sleep you can’t form or maintain pathways in your brain that let you learn & create new memories.
  
  It’s also be harder to concentrate & respond quickly. Deprive yourself of sleep long enough & it could lead to neurological disease.
  
• Eating Inflammatory Food
  What you eat has a direct effect on your mind & mood.
  
  A diet high in foods that are fried and/or processed can lead to chronic inflammation. They can lead to memory loss, lack of mood control, confusion & depression as well as neurological disease.
  
• Having a Big Belly
  Higher amounts of belly fat increase inflammation, which leads to shrinkage of the brain.
  
  High body fat has been associated with a decline in gray matter, which enables us to control movement, memory and emotions.
  
• Not Learning New Things
  The brain is like a muscle. It grows & shrinks to the amount it’s used.
  
  Learning new skills stimulates neurons & forms new pathways that allow electrical impulses to travel faster. If you don’t learn things or skills you let the brain atrophy.
  
• Spending Too Much Time Indoors
  Spending too much time indoors deprive you from getting sunlight exposure.
  
  Without enough sunlight exposure, your circadian rhythms get affected & serotonin levels can dip, which can lead to seasonal affective disorder and depression.
  
• Watching/Reading Abusive Contents on TV/Films/Books
  Chronic Abusive & Porn usage is correlated with changes in the brain.
  
  Watching them hijacks the brain’s reward system & overwhelms it with cheap hits of dopamine. The result is the brain physically deteriorating in shape, size and chemical balance.

So !! How to build a healthy brain:

• Exercise regularly
• Get quality sleep
• Eat nutrient dense foods
• Be Fit – Keep a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Keep Learning new things
• Explore Nature & go outside
• Quit watching/reading abusive/porn stuffs on TV/Films/Books
