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 whith 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

I am not sure if this is a discussion. There´s nothing to discuss. But I can tell you that I agree with that and that it´s good to see it all put together to ponder about it.
As you are new to Mylot (welcome!) I suggest you put your post in such a way that will promote a conversation and response. Like: "what do you think about...?"
Thanks for a good reminder. Happy posting

Thanks for the reminder buddy. :) But I just want fellow mylotters to have some idea how to achieve healthy lifestyle. Somehow it won't look to be a discussion but if you see the way it is presented, you can actually discuss some points there. And if somebody have some addition, then they can do it.

I totally agree with the list esp. on no. 1. They say that nuts are food for the brain. But all other foods are used to sustain the brain.
I would appreciate to see the source link for the list posted above :)
