7 bad habits that destroy your brain 🧠🧠: [Video]

7 bad habits that destroy your brain:
1. Not exercising

Exercise improves memory by increasing the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

This helps you form new synapses and improves learning & memory.

Not exercising on a regular basis is a recipe for brain atrophy.
2. 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’ll also be harder to concentrate & respond quickly.

Deprive yourself of sleep long enough & it could lead to neurological disease
3. Eating inflammatory foods

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
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Watching po*n

Chronic po*n usage is correlated with changes in the brain.

Watching po*n hijacks the brain’s reward system & overwhelms it with cheap hits of dopamine.

The result is the brain is physically deteriorating in shape, size, and chemical balance.
7. Spending too much time indoors

Spending too much time indoors deprives you from getting sunlight exposure.
