Experts pointed to habits that undermine the health of the central nervous system and increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Don't eat breakfast. Many people say that they do not feel like eating in the morning. And they don't eat. According to scientists, such a habit can be harmful for the brain. When a person does not eat in the morning, his brain does not receive valuable nutrients at the beginning of the day. Deficiency of vitamins and other nutrients weakens its functions.
Smoking The habit of smoking significantly increases the risk of developing dementia (acquired dementia) or Alzheimer's disease. At the same time, the more a person smokes, the higher the risk that his brain may suffer due to the development of neurodegenerative processes. Tobacco consumption has a negative effect on blood vessels, which leads to poor blood supply to the brain. People who smoke half a pack to one pack a day have a 37 percent increased risk of developing dementia, and those who smoke more than one pack have a 44 percent increased risk of the disease.
Experience. Poor stress resistance is harmful to the brain, and the habit of violently worrying about every occasion must be fought. Severe stress increases the risk of developing mental disorders in the future - under its influence, some areas of the brain begin to break down. According to scientists, one of the most effective ways to combat stress is sport.
Eat sweet. Regular consumption of sweets in large quantities has the same negative effect on the brain as constant stress. Increased sugar consumption contributes to the development of type XNUMX diabetes, which in turn is a factor that increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Against the background of diabetes, the level of inflammation increases, which is very harmful to brain cells.
