BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS


1. No Breakfast

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar 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

Get Along

Better

With

EVERYONE


Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:

1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?


Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully.


Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something
encouraging to someone.


Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and don't listen to gossip.


Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.


Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue. (It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)


Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing
or saying anything that could make matters worse.


Let your virtues speak for themselves.


If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what
he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will believe the negative remark.


Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest
distance between two people.


Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not
seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek
so much to be loved as to love.

Holiday travel tips


Many of us love to travel,either within the country or outside. Everyone loves to travel..to have plenty of fun and adventure,so here are some tips to help you reach your destination fresh and relaxed.
  • PREPARE...Get a good night's sleep the night before you travel.Eat a light meal and do some gentle exercise before you set off on your journey.
  • RESET YOUR BODY CLOCK...When you travel across the time zone,your body's biological clock is thrown out of sinc,this can disrupt your sleep pattern,causing jet lag that can ruin your holiday....so Adjust your body's clock by resetting your watch to correspond time of your destination.adjust your eating and sleeping pattern at the start of your journey.even if it means having supper instead of breakfast.
  • DRESS RIGHT... Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and shoes that are not restrictive. Avoid spandex, high heels, girdles and stockings with tight, below-the-knee elastic bands, which encourage clot formation in the legs.
  • KEEP HYDRATED...Low cabin humidity may cause dry eyes, nose and throat. Wear spectacles instead of contact lenses, apply skin moisturizer and lip balm, and avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks and beverages like coffee or colas, which dehydrate. Instead, drink plenty of water and fruit juice.
  • KEEP MOVING... Deep Venous Thrombosis or DVT are clots that form in the veins of your legs due to sluggish blood circulation. This happens because you are immobile for long periods during long-haul flights and long distance car,bus or train rides.keep your circulation going by keeping your muscles moving.stand up and walk about in the aisle whenever possible,bend and straighten your legs,wiggle your toes and tense and release your bottom and thigh muscles every hour.
  • EAT RIGHT....Eat a light meal at least three hours before you set off to give your stomach time to begin digesting your meal. Skip the eggs, sausages and bacon, and acidic juices like orange juice. Whole grain breads, muffins and cereals and water, milk and apple juice are better choices. Traveling on an empty stomach is worse than eating the wrong foods. But don’t overeat and get bloated.
