SOME BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS THAT WE SHOULD AVOID.

1. No Breakfast


people who dont take breakfast are going to have a lower

blood suger level. this leads to an insufficient supply of

nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.


2. Overeating

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar Consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
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.

6. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

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.

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.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

15 Facts You should know About Your Brain :

15 Facts You should know About Your Brain :

1. Every time you have a thought you are creating new connections (neural pathways) in your brain.

2. When you have the same thoughts or emotions automatically triggered by a certain event, this emotion or thought comes from a neural network that was wired when you experienced that event for the first time. Every time you experience a similar event, the same network is triggered and you can’t even remember where it comes from and why you feel that way.

3. Your brain is 75% water , that’s why, when you are dehydrated, your brain slows down and becomes fuzzy long before you get the actual physical symptoms of thirst.

4. When you yawn after someone else also did this , you did this because you have cells in your brain called mirror neurons. If this part of the brain is damaged, a person finds it hard to socialise and communicate with others (autistic people experience this challenge).

5. A study of students in New York showed that students who ate lunches that didn’t include artificial flavors, preservatives and dyes did 14% better on IQ tests than students who ate lunches with these additives.

6. Information travels at different speeds within different types of the neurons. Not all neurons are the same. There are a few different types within the body and transmission along these different kinds can be as slow as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec.

7. While awake, your brain generates between 10 and 23 watts of power or more than energy to power a light bulb.

8. For years, scientists believed that tinnitus was due to a function within the mechanics of the ear, but newer evidence shows that it is actually a function of the brain.

9. Laughing at a joke is no simple task as it requires activity in five different areas of the brain.

10. Differences in brain weight and size do not make differences in mental ability. The weight of Albert Einstein’s brain was 1,230 grams that is less than an average weight of the human brain.

11. Humans can’t tickle themselves because the brain distinguishes between unexpected external touch and a person’s own touch. Without any words, humans may be able to determine the mood of a person just by reading the face. A small area in the brain called the amygdala is responsible for the ability to read someone else’s face for clues to how they are feeling. There are no pain receptors in the brain, so the brain can feel no pain. Scientists have discovered that men and women’s brains react differently to pain, which explains why they may perceive or discuss pain differently. There is a class of people known as supertasters who not only have more taste buds on the tongue, but whose brain is more sensitive to the tastes of foods and drinks.

12. Your brain is the most energy-consuming part of your body. The brain represents only 2% of the body weight, but it uses up to 20 percent of the body’s energy production. The energy is used for cell-health maintenance and to fuel electrical impulses that neurons employ to communicate with one another.

13. It is estimated that the human brain has a raw computational power between 10 power(13) and 10 Power(16) operations per second. It is far more that 1 million times the number of people on Earth.

14. Your brain didn’t stop developing when you turned 18, it continued developing well into your 20′s and it continues to change throughout your whole life.

15. The left side of your brain (left hemisphere) controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain (right hemisphere) controls the left side of your body.

The Law Of The Wild says kill only when you are hungry..
Photographer Michel Denis captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya.

He was astounded by what he saw: "These cheetah brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old, On the morning he saw them, they seemed not to be hungry walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together. 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away.. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'."
Then extraordinary scenes followed; they just walked away without hurting him.

A man in China has kept himself alive with a homemade dialysis machine for 13 years.

Chinese Man Keeps Himself Alive for 13 Years Using Homemade Dialysis Machine:
Consumers who think items made in China are inferior and useless may think twice after reading this —but are cautioned not to try this at home.
A Chinese man suffering from kidney disease, Hu Songwen, has kept himself alive for 13 years using a homemade dialysis machine, UK’s Daily Mail reported.
“The cost for each home treatment is only 60 yuan (£6 or P391), which is 12 percent of the hospital charge for dialysis,” it quoted Hu as saying.
Hu, a resident of a rural area in East China, built the contraption after he could no longer afford high hospital bills.
The machine, used thrice a week, is made of kitchen utensils and old medical instruments.
Also, Hu used disused medical equipment, such as a blood pump and plastic tubing.
The Daily Mail report said Hu was diagnosed with kidney disease in 1993, while he was a college student.
While he initially underwent dialysis in hospitals, his savings ran out after six years – leaving him no choice but to make his own machine.
Not even the death of two friends who tried to build and use similar homemade machines fazed him.
‘External kidney’
The Daily Mail report said Hu’s machine works like an external kidney, with blood pumped through one half of the machine, and the dialysis fluid pumped through the other half.

Hu’s dialysis fluid is a mix of potassium chloride, sodium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate), and purified water.

“For the treatment, he inserts two tubes into his arm, which are connected to his dialysis machine. The blood is pumped out of his arm through one of the tubes, is filtered and then returned to his body via the other tube,” the report said.

When the blood and dialysis fluid go through the machine, excess minerals go from his blood and through the membrane to the fluid.

This removes the waste products from his blood and the fluid is later thrown away. The “clean” blood is then pumped back into his body.
On the other hand, Hu said the nearest public hospital to his home is not only too far away, but also too crowded.
Doctors’ warning
On the other hand, doctors warned Hu may risk serious infection and long-term complications by not using sterile water to make the fluid.
But Hu, who lives with his 81-year-old mother in Qutang township of Jiangsu Province, says he has limited options.
The Chinese government also offered medical aid to Hu when his story sparked national interest following media reports.
But Hu said he was reluctant to switch as the nearest hospital is far away and very crowded.
