Brain health specialists have warned against a daily habit that can affect your mental well-being.

2. Sugar and refined carbohydrates: an insidious threat

These foods are so common that many people forget how harmful they are. Frequent blood sugar spikes disrupt hormones, cloud thinking, impair memory, and accelerate brain aging. Reducing sugar intake and choosing whole foods is a simple protective measure.

3. Lack of sleep: an unexpected threat to memory.
A lack of sleep has far more serious consequences than simple fatigue. It disrupts the brain's nighttime "cleaning cycle," weakens memory, and increases oxidative stress. Deep, regular sleep is essential for mental stability.

4. Daily Alcohol: An Underestimated Danger.
Even moderate alcohol consumption, when regular, impairs neuronal communication and slows brain regeneration. Specialists emphasize that brain damage does not begin with heavy alcohol consumption; repeated drinking alone can be enough. Reducing consumption allows the brain to recover.
