Alzheimer's is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain cells and gradually impacts memory, thinking ability, and behavior.
Every year 21 September is celebrated as 'World Alzheimer's Day' to spread awareness about this fatal disease. Alzheimer's is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects brain cells and gradually affects memory, thinking ability, and behavior. Although it becomes more common with age, some of our every day habits can also increase the risk of Alzheimer's.
Today we will discuss some common habits, which harm the brain and can increase the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's.
1. Not getting enough sleep
Lack of sleep is extremely harmful to the brain. During sleep, the brain undergoes a cleansing process that removes toxins. Regularly sleeping less can lead to the accumulation of toxins in the brain, which can increase the risk of Alzheimer's.
2. Consuming too much sugar and processed food
Sugar and processed food can cause brain damage. Excessive consumption of these foods can weaken the connections between brain cells, leading to decreased memory and brain function.
3. Lack of mental exercise
Not keeping the mind active, and staying away from studies or mental challenges can also increase the risk of Alzheimer's. Keeping the mind constantly busy with new challenges and activities benefits mental health.
4. Lack of physical activity
Physical exercise is important not just for the body but also for the mind. Exercise increases blood circulation in the brain, which improves neuronal activity and reduces the risk of Alzheimer's.
5. Social isolation
Staying away from social contact for a long time can also cause Alzheimer's. Loneliness causes a decline in brain activity and has a bad effect on mental health.
By avoiding these habits and taking the right steps to keep our brains active and healthy, we can protect ourselves from diseases like Alzheimer's.
