10 BAD HABITS THAT DAMAGES THE BRAIN

1.No breakfast
This meal is really important the most important in the whole day, but when avoided all the time the blood sugar levels get spiked and low and irregular. After a night of sleep and no eating, you need food. Otherwise the brain gets no nutrients and is easily damaged

2. Lack of good thoughts and stimulations
To think also engages the brain in healthy work. It opens up new pathways and activates every segment of the brain. You have to work the brain all the time, otherwise it shrinks up or gets damaged due to inactivity. Why not working on the skills you might be great at? Learn, talk, think!

3. Rarely talking
Talking makes the brain work and activates it. Engage in intellectual talks as much as you can and boost the health of the brain.

4. Working when ill
We all are in a rush, speeding, having too much things to do. We all work when we are sick, one thing or another. But, this means the body is begging for rest! Give the body some rest!

5. Polluted air
You can’t wear a mask all the time of course, and there is not much you can do with this. The brain needs a lot of oxygen and this polluted air deprives us of it.

6. Covered head during sleep
It sounds weird but we need as much oxygen as we can get during the night, this limits you to breathe in the whole oxygen. Also, you get more carbon dioxide this way!

7. Smoking
The worst of all habits here. It has many side effects but for the brain, it causes shrinkage and dementia related issues like Alzheimer’s.

8. Overeating
This makes you gain weight, be obese, damages the stems in the brain and reduces the mental focus.

9. Too much Sugar
Sadly, there is sugar in everything we eat or drink. You will benefit a lot if you reduce it. For starters you can absorb more nutrients in the absence of sugar and prevent brain issues.

10. No sleep
No sleeping for long periods of time reduces healthy brain cells. Sleep repairs the whole body from the stress and regenerates every cell.

A TRUE SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF LIFE

Kindly read through to the end

After Secondary School..Some of our classmates or childhood playmates have gone out of the country, Others have completed universities and are now Doctors, Engineers, Teachers, Pilots, Lawyers, Administrators, etc.

Some have married, Some have given birth, some still single... ...Some are dead, (Don't forget that too) And others are confined in psychiatric homes. Some are doing their masters programme, PHD, etc.Some haven't even gained admission into the tertiary institution.

Some own companies, Some are now Directors and majority shareholders of huge companies. But how do you feel When you meet your classmate, and it seems like he/she has reached his dreams And you're not yet close to yours?
So many thoughts runs through your mind like life is so unfair to you, right? How about the ones you meet on the street wearing dirty rags and have turned nuisance in the society, what of those mentally or physically challenged, the ones in prison nko? How do you see that?

Nevertheless, You must not regret your life. We all are different And our path and time to greatness differs, Some before you, Some after you, But no matter the level you are presently, Please keep trying to break limitations and move further. Celebrate the success of others, its an application for yours.

Your friend buys a car now, Be happy with him/ her. Remember when you get yours,

T@heirs might not be in vogue no more cos a 2000 model Toyota Camry was once regarded as a new millennium car but now an old model nevertheless so many still wish they own one now. Life is not by competition, If not, We all will be born into one type of family, One religion and same in everything.

Let the passion in you never quench the desire and fire in you Keep it burning cos What you pass through today would be the strength you would need tomorrow. There's no height you cannot attain, Just believe, Define your goals and recognize distractions. Spend time to acquire knowledge, Because the things that
Mainly take people to the top Are the things They devoted time to develop.

Don't be intimidated by your fellow's success, The sky is too wide That the birds can fly Without touching themselves.
Value those little things God bless you with cos there are people who crave for it. Appreciate God, For with God, All things are possible.

Now to those who think they are on top,
Never forget to give a helping hand To those who are down. Life is full of uncertainties; The one you pull up today
May be the one to hold your hand To prevent you from falling down. A piece of advice there.

May our friendship grow From strength to strength, From grass to grace, From zero to hero And from Earth to Heaven.

WISH YOU MORE SUCCESS IN THE JOURNEY OF LIFE*
