[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

1.No Breakfast

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 brain degeneration.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

2.Overeating

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

3. Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

4. High Sugar consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteinsand nutrients causing
malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

5. AirPollution

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.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

6 . Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

8. Working your brain during illness

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]89690[/ATTACH]

Getting a good night’s sleep

Sleep deprivation can lead to forgetfulness and problemsin
concentration. To sleep better, consider these suggestions

Limit time in bed

Spending too much time in bed usually disrupts sleep int he

middle of the night

Don’t try too hard to sleep

Read or watch TV until you become drowsy, and then go
to your bedroom to fall asleep naturally. Try to maintaina
regular time for going to bed and for getting up

Hide the clock

A visible readout of how long you’ve been unable to sleep
may worry you needlessly

Avoid orlimit caffeine, smoking and alcohol

Caffeine is a stimulant. Nicotine also can interfere with sleep
And although alcohol is a depressant and may help you doze off, it can disrupt restful sleep

Exercise and stay active

Regular physical activity and exercise contribute to a restful
sleep. Aim for 30 minutes or more of exercise on most
days. Avoid exercising too close to your bedtime so itdoesn’t
interfere with your sleep

Watch what you eat before you sleep

A light snack may help you relax before sleeping, but avoid
heavy meals and foods that could cause heartburn. Drinkless
liquid before bedtime so that you won’t have to go to the
bathroom as often

Avoid or limit naps

Daytime naps can make it harder to fall asleep at night. If you
really need a nap, limit it to 30 minutes or less

Check your medications

Ask your doctor if any of your medications — both prescription
and nonprescription —may contribute
to insomnia

home situation, but you can develop new responses todefuse
anger or conflict. You can also learn to manage your time
better with stress-lowering techniques — from delegating

The natural decrease in adrenaline production afterexercise
may counteract the stress response. People who arephysically
fit handle stress better

Relax

Learning techniques such as guided imagery, meditation,
muscle relaxation and relaxed breathing can help yourelax.
Your goal is to lower your heart rate and blood pressurewhile
reducing muscle tension. You can also focus on hobbies or
activities you find calming, such as reading, listeningto music
or playing with your pet

Find a friend

From dealing with cancer to coping with a troubledrelationship,
social support can help reduce stress and prolong life.

Recognize when you need help

If stress is keeping you from work or recreation, talkwith
your doctor or a specialist in behavioral medicine. Behavioral
therapy is one approach that can help you gain controlover
your symptoms

Staying Mentally Sharp

[ATTACH=CONFIG]90799[/ATTACH]

Boost your memory and develop habits that can help counter
age-related memory loss

[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Make Associations

For example, if you’re introduced to Fred who has red hair,
link his name to his hair color
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Choose what to remember

If you meet several people at once, focus on remembering a
few key names
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Recite, retrieve and review

Recite key information several times to learn it andretrieve
it often. Review information you’ll need, such as paging
through your high-school year book before your reunion
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Break it down

Break down new information into units. For example, tomemorize a long-distance phone number,
break it down into the area
code, three-digit exchange and four remaining numbers
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Pay Attention

Forget fulness may indicate nothing more than having too
much on your mind. Slow down and pay full attention tothe
task at hand. Reduce distractions
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Keep track of appointments, tasks and contacts

Use appointment books, calendars, to-do lists, address books
or computer software — whatever works for you
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Develop Routines

For example, put frequently used items such as keys in a
designated spot when not using them
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Create Rituals and cues for common tasks

For example, make sure your keys are in hand before locking
your car doors. Place packages you need to mail near the
front door so that you won’t forget them
[ATTACH=CONFIG]90798[/ATTACH]

Consider Meditation

Preliminary research indicates that meditation increases blood flow to the area of the brain that's associated with memory

Exercising for a healthy heart
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]91139[/ATTACH]

If you exercise regularly, you may lower your risk of aheart
attack and stroke. If you’re middle-aged or older and haven’t
been exercising regularly or have a chronic healthproblem,
work with your doctor to develop an exercise program. To
condition your heart safely
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Start at a comfortable level of exertion

Try walking five to 10 minutes over a short distanceindoors.
Increase five minutes a session, as tolerated
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Schedule regular exercise

Aim for 30 to 60 minutes a day of low- tomoderate-intensity
physical activity
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Include variety

Combine three types of exercise — stretching (flexibility),
endurance (aerobic) and strengthening (weight training) —
and three levels of intensity — warm-up, workout level and
cool-down —in each exercise session
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Cross-trainto reduce your risk of injury

Alternate among exercises that emphasize different parts of
the body, such as swimming, bicycling and walking
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Don’t overdo it

Start slowly and build up gradually, allowing time between
sessions for your body to rest and recover. And forget the saying
“No pain,
no gain.” A little muscle soreness when you do
something new isn’tunusual, but soreness doesn’tequal pain.
If it hurts, stop doing it
[ATTACH=CONFIG]91029[/ATTACH]

Increase your physical activity

Even routine activities such as gardening, climbing stairs
or washing floors can burn calories and help improve your
health, although not at the same level as a structured exercise
program. Just keep moving: Walk or bike to the store instead
of driving, park farther away at the shopping mall, take the
stairs instead of an elevator

Reducing your risk of stroke and heart attack

[ATTACH=CONFIG]91138[/ATTACH]

One of the best ways to protect yourself against a strokeor
heart attack is by not smoking. Here are other ways

Maintain a healthy weight

Being over weight increases your risk of high blood pressure,
high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease and diabetes —
risk factors for a stroke and heart attack. So eat anutritious diet
and aim for 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity on mostdays

Limit fats and cholesterol

Limit meat to a total of 6 ounces daily. Choose fat-freeor
low-fat dairy products. Limit saturated fats and avoid trans
fats. Instead of solid fats (butter, margarine,shortening), use
monounsaturated oils (canola, olive and peanut) andpolyunsaturated oils (corn,
safflower, sesame, sunflower and soy).

Eat fish that have omega-3s

Eat fish that have omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and
trout. (See “Eat foods high in omega-3s,” page 34.)

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables

Produce contains nutrients such as potassium, folate and
antioxidants that may protect against stroke and heartattack.
Eat at least three servings of fruits and at least four servings
of vegetables daily

Use alcohol moderately, if at all

Too much alcohol can raise blood pressure. Moderate drinking
is defined as no more than one drink a day for women
and anyone age 65 or older and no more than two
drinks a day for men under 65

Reduce sodium - salt

Limiting sodium in your diet and making other lifestyle
changes can help prevent high blood pressure. If you already
have it, reducing sodium intake further may help lower it
