7 Habits that are dangerous for the Brain

Too much sugar

Our bodies and brains need sugar to function, but our modern diets contain far too much. When you regularly consume too much sugar, your cells, including your brain cells, go into a state of chronic inflammation.

This impairs your body’s ability to absorb important nutrients from food and begins to rob the brain of what it needs for optimal cognition. Ultimately, you’ll have a higher risk of dementia and a smaller hippocampus, the area of the brain that manages memory.
