Smoking kills. But because it doesn’t deliver instant death, too many people underestimate the horrible health problems those daily cigarettes can cause before actual death. According to research, smoking leads to cancer and also decreases the thickness of the cerebral cortex.

This type of damage can seriously affect the smoker’s mental abilities since it’s basically the part of the brain that is responsible for thinking, among other important things.

Exercise is important for all your body organs as well as your mental health. So not just your muscles, your brain requires regular training as well. As found in one study, physical exercises have a beneficial effect on the synthesis of BDNF (Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor), and thus, on the long-term memory. Furthermore, a lack of brain exercise can also be harmful.

According to some extensive studies, regular brain exercise, such as solving puzzles, reading, and playing focus games, can remarkably enhance the brain’s performance, even in individuals who already have the first symptoms of senile dementia.

While you’re trying to lose weight, you might be damaging your brain, as it turned out that it’s not only your body that’s losing weight! You may not believe this, but dieting can make your brain cells actually eat themselves.

According to research from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a severe restriction in nutrition (a strict diet) causes the brain to feed on itself.

As scary as it sounds, this is just another reason why people need to be balanced and more reasonable while dieting. A good diet is the one in which you eat right, and not almost nothing.
