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.

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial
   sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use
   when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not
   consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
   Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished
   in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt
a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time
condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary
chemicals according to ’schedule.’

Because :
Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals
(detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should
be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in
an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their
homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should
be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep
sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be
a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process
had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are
sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those
who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to
eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow
produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don’t sleep late.

Did you know that simply changing the way you eat could help you to feel more satisfied after eating?

Notice I used the word satisfied, not full. There’s a big difference. Full means, “I’m really stuffed.” Satisfied is simply, “I’m no longer hungry.”

Satisfaction is actually a learned feeling. Many of us in fact feel satisfied after eating only half of a meal, but we don’t recognize that feeling because, instead of pausing, we go on and eat to fullness. I am still part of the clean-plate generation — that’s just how we were brought up.

But now we need to change our thinking and learn to recognize what it feels like to be satisfied during a meal. If you stop when you are satisfied, you will eat less food.

Try some of these tips to help you feel more satisfied at meals:

• Use smaller plates and bowls. This trick actually fools your mind into thinking that you’re getting more food. When you see a plate (no matter what size) brimming with food, you’re already thinking, I am going to be satisfied after this meal! Smaller plates mean that your portion sizes will be smaller and you’ll eat less food.

• Eat your meal slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to get the message that you have eaten enough and to then communicate that feeling of satisfaction (or fullness!) to your stomach. Put your fork or spoon down between bites of food, talk with others at the table, chew your food thoroughly, and drink liquids during meals to slow your rate of eating.

• Drink plenty of non-calorie beverages each day. Interestingly, the feeling of thirst can sometimes impersonate that of hunger, so make sure you are drinking enough fluids every day.

• Change your eating schedule, or create one that works. Skipping or delaying meals can result in overeating. If you skip meals often, try to eat on more of a schedule. You will then feel more satisfied with what you do eat.

• Enjoy your food. Take the time at meals to simply enjoy what you are eating. Taking pleasure in what you eat will help you feel more satisfied.

There are plenty of ways to cure your insomnia naturally without resorting to sleeping pills or other medicines.

Before resorting to anything stronger, try these ideas to help you get a good night’s sleep:

• Do your best to go to bed at the same time every night. Even at weekends, when your routine probably changes. Your body will appreciate the routine and will start to learn that it’s time for bed the same time every night in much the same way as it knows that when your alarm clock sounds, it’s time to wake up.

• Run a mental check list of your life. Is there anything that is disrupting your sleep pattern? This could be stress, maybe caused by a change of routine or even the seasons. It may be worry about money, personal life, children, etc. It could be anxiety. Check your life for anything that could be manifesting itself as insomnia, even though at first sight it’s not related to it. When you find something, work on that problem first - you may well find your sleep problem disappears at the same time.

• Stop the caffeine! Or at least restrict your caffeine intake to before, say, mid afternoon. Remember that this includes not only colas and coffee but also tea and even green tea. Don’t instantly cut caffeine out of your life completely otherwise you stand to get ratty as part of the withdrawal process.

• Alcohol isn’t a good idea. Even though you may feel drowsy after you’ve had a few drinks. Alcohol will disrupt your sleep pattern even when you do finally get to sleep. Again, you may find it best to cut down your intake rather than go cold turkey immediately - it depends on how much your body has got used to the effects.

• Take more exercise. This doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym every day, although that could be a good idea. Even just walking for say 15 minutes will help. The exercise will help your metabolism as well as your fitness and the endorphins released will boost you as well. As with caffeine and alcohol, don’t exercise too soon before going to bed.
