We often overlook simple daily habits that silently impact brain health and function. From stress to skipping meals, these common routines could be doing more harm than you think. Tap to read!
Sitting Too Long While Working
The blood flow to the brain is reduced when sitting still for prolonged periods. This adversely affects memory, concentration, and general thinking performance.
Chronic Stress
Being under constant stress occasions an increase in cortisol levels. A higher cortisol level could shrink brain volume and enhance the risk of developing dementia in the long term.
The Snooze Button
Put simply, using the snooze button repeatedly breaks the continuity of your sleep cycle. It leaves the brain foggy with impairments to both memory and alertness.
Missing Breakfast and Water
Being without breakfast and water in the morning slows brain functioning, dilutes concentration, and shrinks mental clarity.
Multitasking
That is the overstimulation of the brain when multitasking. Hence, it reduces the efficiency of the brain, its capability of remembering things, and thinking deeply.
