Breaking Bad Habits The Brain

human brainThe human brain consists of more than 100 billion nerve, each of which 10 thousand related to other nerves. Imagine, with the complexity of the brain like that, then you must love your brain enough to avoid bad habits that are often overlooked.
The brain is a vital organ which is the controlling center of the central nervous system. Brain organize and coordinated most of the movement, behavior and homeostatic body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, body fluid balance and body temperature. The brain is also responsible for functions such as recognition, emotion. memory, motor learning, and all other forms of learning. It's a very complex task and many. So, avoid bad habits in 10 below if you still want your brain to work well.
1. No breakfast
They are used to not eat breakfast have blood sugar levels low. As a result the supply of nutrients to the brain becomes less. The brain also needs "to eat" in order to work optimally.

2. Eating too much
Too much to eat, let alone a high-fat, can lead to hardening of the brain blood vessels due to accumulation of fat in the blood vessel wall. As a result of work ability of the brain will decrease.

3. Smoking
Substances toxic chemicals in cigarettes are inhaled, such as carbon monoxide, will impede the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body including the brain, causing rapid shrinkage of the brain. Nicotine can also reduce levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and raise bad cholesterol (LDL) in blood. Consequently, disrupted transport fats to clog arteries and block the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Smoking also can lead to Alzheimer's disease.

4. Consuming too much sugar
Consumption of too much sugar can also cause disruption of the absorption of protein and nutrients. As a result, nutritional imbalances occur that will interfere with brain development.

5. No air pollution mask
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in the human body. Inhaling polluted air reducing oxygen supply to the brain that can reduce the efficiency or power of the brain work.

6. Sleep deprivation
The brain needs sleep as a time to rest and restore capabilities. Lack of sleep in the long term will accelerate damage brain cells.

7. Covering the head during sleep
The habit of sleeping with closed head can increase the concentration of carbon dioxide resulting in lower oxygen process may cause brain damage effects.

8. Less stimulate the mind
Thinking is the best way to train our brain. Lack of stimulation in the brain can reduce working capacity of nerve cells, causing the brain to be his little brain.

9. Rarely communicates
Communication is needed as one means of encouraging working ability of the brain. Communicate optimal intellectual function can trigger the brain works. Rarely communicate will lead to intellectual ability of the brain becomes less trained.

10. Think hard when sick
Working too hard or forced to use a sick mind when conditions can cause excessive fatigue on the brain and reduce the effectiveness of the work that can damage the brain.
