Factors That Accelerate Brain Aging And Ways To Prevent It


If you've heard people say, 'He's not old, he's old!' And science itself has proven that people's habits and behavior can speed up or delay aging, whether it's good or bad.




1. The type of food, its quality, and its nutritional balance, as well as the toxicity or pollution of the air and the environment we live in, also have an effect on the health and functioning of our brain, such as loneliness and depression, sadness and happiness, one- creation and stagnation, etc

2. Although the brain is only 2 percent of our body weight, it uses 20-30 percent of the calories we consume, which means that 30 percent of the food we eat goes to the brain.

3. The brain is susceptible to sudden movements or swings that happen to the head, so injuries caused by things that we think are simple can cause danger that we don't notice to the brain, including the ball that we hit on the head ( see).

The brain is like butter and the skull is hard and has sharp bones so swinging can cause the brain to move and then fall into those bones.

4. Smoking also accelerates the aging process, just as it accelerates the skin itself.

5. The blood also speeds up the aging of the brain, and its function is damaged, every time the blood rises, the blood flow to the brain decreases. Which is a threat to the functioning of the brain and its entire life. Sweetness is the same.

6. Drugs also damage the mind.

7. There is also the brain injury of the additional obesity of the rider. As you gain weight, the size of the brain decreases, and its ability to function decreases.

What a solution and health can be for the mind

- Being social and being part of social activities and connecting with different people is one of the things that lead to longevity.

- Eating healthy foods and avoiding toxic ones is also important for mental health. (Food is disease or health, it doesn't matter).

- Sleep is essential when it comes to mental health. Less than 7 hours of sleep at night causes less blood to reach the brain than it needs. On the other hand, the less sleep you get, the more weight you gain, which is another brain-killing threat.

- Psychological conditions that you avoid, the sooner you treat them, the more important they are for mental health.

- It is imperative that you keep track of your blood and sugar levels.

I have taken these important points from a scientific speech that Daniel Amen, who specializes in mental illnesses and mental disorders, gave at the TEDx
