he brain is one of the largest and most important organs in your body. Along with the spinal cord, it makes up the Central Nervous System (CNS) and is the main control center for every function that happens in our day-to-day life. It carries a heck of a lot of information around and has an endless list of responsibilities.

According to the world health organization, there is an increase in brain related illnesses. This is because most people pay little or no attention to the most vital organ which controls the body? Ironically, the only organ in our body that thinks is often the one less thought about'.

Memory loss and mental deterioration/retardation result from brain damage, but there are other vital activities that will be impaired by just a minor damage to the brain. Remember brain controls vital activities like thoughts, movements, speech, hearing, seeing, etc... Imagine what will happen if at any stage of your life you could not do any of the above.

The brain is surprisingly very delicate and can be affected by a lot of habits.

Below is a list of 10 very common habits that damage the brain according to World Health Organization

1. Skipping Breakfast

Many people do this either to catch up with work or for maintaining body weight. If you are one of them, then you need to stop. Breakfast is the most important meal. According to research, people who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing gradual brain degeneration.

2. Overreacting

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking

This is another huge problem. Smoking is very harmful to the brain and other vital organs of the body. It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar Consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Staying in a polluted environment

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep debt is very harmful to the brain. Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping.

This is another inconspicuous but very harmful habit. Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease the concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
