Whilst there are many who has hereditary brain problems or
who have acquired neurological problems via some unknown or unexplained reason,
I have, in my few years of practice, seen where brain damages could have been
perfectly avoidable. These occur mostly in the event of a head injury. Some of these
injuries are sometimes innocent while others are deliberate. With a few healthy
habits that go beyond just healthy eating, people can help to prevent harm to
their brain by practicing a healthy lifestyle. Healthy habits include taking
care of self n surrounding. Some things to avoid is skipping your breakfast in
the morning or overeating. These can cause damage to the brain because of the
mixed signals that are sent. Skipping meals means a lesser amount of nutrients
going to the brain. This in turn lowers the blood supply and oxygen levels. Smoking
and intake of too much sugar are also high factors for brain problems. Environmental
factors also causes involuntary harm to our brains namely, air pollution. Air
pollution leads to oxygen deficiency in the brain because of the space
pollutants take up when we are breathing in oxygen. It goes to show that taking
care of ourselves and by extension, the environment can alleviate our health
problems and boost brain functions.
