3 Habits That Can Damage Your Brain #shorts

Too much sitting
A study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that people who sat for more than seven hours a day had lower levels of brain matter in certain regions than those who sat for four hours or less. The differences were most pronounced in the posterior cingulate cortex and the temporal lobe, which are important for memory and cognition.

Too little socialization
One study found that children who were raised in orphanages with little human interaction showed significant delays in cognitive and social development when compared to children who were raised in more traditional family settings.

Too much stress
Chronic stress has been linked to an increased risk of developing conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. While it is not yet clear exactly how chronic stress affects the brain, it is clear that it can have a serious impact on mental well-being.
