Things that causes Brain Damage

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.
