Our brain needs care and maintenance just like any other body parts.
More importantly, it controls every other organ in our body.
This makes the brain the most important organ of all.
Here are 5 methods you can practice to improve your brain power.
You can drink alcohol, but only in moderation Did you know that heavy drinkers have more risk of developing memory problems and dementia? If you are a male, you should never consume more than 2 drinks a day.
For females, limit yourself to 1 drink a day.
Anything beyond that is harmful to your brain.
Get rid of the cigarettes If you are a regular smoker, you are automatically at risk of having dementia and Alzheimer's disease, in which both of these conditions are brain diseases.
You also run the risk of having stroke too, if you smoke.
Stress is a factor When you have too much stress, your body releases enzymes and hormones that can affect your judgment and memory.
Actually, if your body releases these enzymes and hormones, it is good because your body can perform better.
But if they are excessive (because of too much stress), these enzymes and hormones do more damage instead.
Protect your head People who are at risk are people who participate in extreme sports where head injuries are common.
You have to protect your head at all times because a trauma to your head can cause you to have Alzheimer's disease.
Rest sufficiently Often times, people don't rest enough.
They pressure themselves to do more work and get little rest.
As a standard rule, everyone must get at least 8 hours of sleep every day.
If you are sleep deprived, your memory can be affected negatively when you grow old.
