7 Daily Habits That Harm Your Brain
Your brain is the control center for all activities in your body. It regulates your breathing, heartbeat, and many more vital activities.
Yet, most people harm their brains every single day. And most of the time, they’re not even aware of it.

Your brain is designed to think. Challenging thoughts, new skills, different languages, interesting conversations, reading, new experiences, or even puzzles and crosswords can help stimulate your brain and develop neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain’s ability to adapt.
Like any muscle, your brain needs to be used and flexed to stay in shape.
