You Are Damaging Your Brain Gradually When You’re Doing These 3 Things News Hub Creator Feb 11, 2022 5:57 PM It’s important to understand that as a regular human being, you can’t live without your brain. When your brain is harmed, you become mentally impaired, and you lose your ability to reason properly at that time. I’ll highlight three probable activities you do that are harmful to your brain or mental health, but it won’t be complete unless I first explain what the brain is. The brain is one of the most complicated parts of the human body. This three-pound organ is thought to be the seat of intelligence, a sensory interpreter, a body movement regulator, and a behaviour controller. The brain is the wellspring of all the attributes that distinguish mankind, and it is housed in a bone shell that is cleaned by protecting fluid. The study of the brain has piqued the interest of philosophers and scientists for years. They now consider the brain to be practically incomprehensible. The brain, on the other hand, is now beginning to reveal its mysteries. Because of the rapid rate of study in neurological and behavioural science, as well as the development of new research tools, scientists have learnt more about the brain in the last ten years than in all prior centuries. The human brain is where the nervous system is controlled. It collects information from the body’s sensory organs and relays it to the muscles. The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammal brains, but it is larger than any other brain in terms of physical size. According to WebMD, there are habits that you display on a regular basis that may be harmful to your health. Consuming a significant amount of something is one of these habits. Some of the things you put into your body contain dangerous substances, and if you consume too much of them, your mental health may suffer. Here are three behaviours that are harmful to your brain. 1. Depriving Yourself Of Good Sleep. The mental impacts of insufficient sleep can be more difficult to detect than the physical effects of sleep deprivation. The impact of not getting enough sleep on the brain can be the most harmful of all the adverse effects of not getting enough sleep. At its most basic level, the impacts of lack of sleep on the brain disturb your mood as well as your ability to remember and learn new things. In addition, not getting enough sleep can overstimulate areas of the brain, perhaps resulting in irreversible brain damage because the brain is unable to adjust to new events. It permanently changes itself when you force it to work in a new state on a frequent basis. 2. Playing Loud Music With Earphones Or Headphones. In just 30 minutes, you can permanently damage your hearing by listening to your headphones at full volume. Hearing loss in older persons has been linked to brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and brain tissue atrophy. This could be because your brain is working so hard to understand what’s going on around you that it can’t remember what you’ve heard. So bring it down to no more than 60% of your device’s maximum level and listen for no more than a couple of hours at a time. 3. Excessive smoking. Excessive smoking might cause your brain to shrink, which isn’t good. It wreaks havoc on your memory and makes you twice as likely to develop dementia, such as Alzheimer’s. Heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure are all caused by it. From Opera News Content created and supplied by News Hub Creator .

Market insights The decrease in the price of food items was attributed to the decline in the sales turnover as most people already got lots of food items ahead of the new year. The traders explained that Nigerians that January usual is a month of low sales, due to the recessive economic nature of the month, hence the people would naturally for this period buying stocking their food inventory before the new year. The crash in the price of cooking gas was attributed to the increased supply of the product at the local market which has resulted into a marginal downtrend in the price of the highly in-demand product. Recall, that Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) announced earlier in the year, that it would be supplying 100% of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), otherwise known as cooking gas to the domestic market, which triggered a marginal correction in the price of gas in the country/ Mr. John, a gas dealer at Mushin Market explained to Nairametrics that the improved supply of gas in the market has helped moderate the price of the product in the market, however, he believes that the price of the product is very much high as a 12.5kg gas used to sell below N4,000 earlier in the previous year. January, a month of low sales A major comment from most of the traders interviewed by Nairametrics Research team was that sales have been very low since the start of the new year, attributing it to the seasonal cycle typical of the month of January. According to the traders, the buyers have stocked their homes with food items in the previous month while shopping for the Christmas and New Year celebrations. While talking to Mrs Esther at Daleko Market, she explained that it is typical for January to recorded dwindling sales because we are heading into a new year from a period of significantly huge spending/ “In December, people spend a lot and try to ensure they have their houses stocked with food items, because the month of January has been notoriously known for being a time when people lack funds the most, especially with the demands from resuming schools, house rent and many more,” she said.
