When it comes to bad habits overall, there are some particular bad habits that can hurt your brain in general. Some of these bad habits that can hurt your brain in general include missing out on sleep, having too much alone time, eating too much junk food, blasting your headphones, not moving enough, still smoking, overeating, and staying in the dark too much.
Key Takeaways:
- Humans are wired for social contact. It is not about how many Facebook friends you have — what matters is a real sense of connection.
- Parts of the brain linked to learning, memory, and mental health are smaller in people who have lots of hamburgers, fries, potato chips, and soft drinks in their diet.
- It makes your memory worse and makes you twice as likely to get dementia, including Alzheimer’s. It also causes heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure.
“If you feel alone, call some friends or start something new — salsa dancing, tennis, bridge — that involves other people.”
