Top 10 List | Top Ten Lists

There are various brain damaging habits like no breakfast, overeating, smoking, high sugar consumption, air pollution, sleep deprivation etc. We should try to prevent all of these. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important.

This top 10 article focuses on the everyday things we do and use and how they can lead to brain injury, or worse, brain damage. This is a very serious topic that should be read seriously. If you find that you or someone you know is hurting him/herself in any of the following ways, consult with a family physician right away.

1. No Breakfast

For those of you who do not like to eat breakfast- you are probably lowering blood sugar levels in your body. In this case, the supply of nutrients to the brain could be affected. When experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they are not joking.

2. Overeating

Overeating causes hardening of the brain arteries called overacting and the act can decrease your mental power as a result.

3.Brain Usage While Sick

Think twice before going to work, while sick. If you are ill, your brain and body needs rest and tie to recuperate. Your brain has to do a lot of work during illness to help your body getting rid of the bacteria or infection. If you do additional work, it exposes your brain to extra burden, which is ultimately bad for its health. So never involve yourself in such activities during illness which require a lot of thinking. If you need to take time off of work, then do so.

4. Smoking

Smoking is dangerous and almost everybody knows it. But on top of causing lung cancer, heart disease, and even death, a new study suggests that the habit may cause cognitive decline in men.

The study focuses on a compound known as NNK, which is common in tobacco. NNK is a procarinogen, a chemical substance which becomes carcinogenic when it is altered by the metabolic process of the body.

Unlike alcohol or drug abuse, NNK does not appear to harm brain cells directly; however, the team believes it may cause neuroinflamation, a condition which leads to other disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis.

5. High Sugar consumption

Overeating, poor memory formation, learning disorders, depression – all are linked in a recent study to the over-consumption of sugar. And these linkages point to a problem that is only beginning to be better understood: what our chronic intake of added sugar is doing to our brains.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), an average American has an intake of 156 pounds of added sugar per year. That’s five grocery store shelves loaded with 30 or so one pound bags of sugar each. If you find that hard to believe, that’s probably because sugar is so ever-present in our diets that most of us have no idea how much we’re consuming. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) puts the amount at 27.5 teaspoons of sugar a day per capita, which translates to 440 calories – nearly one quarter of a usual 2000 calorie a day diet.

A hairstyle or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human head. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles. Hair styles depend on the face structure of the person and it is actually the fashion trend that motivates the youth. Here are a few trendy everyday hairstyles you can do.

1. Beach Hippie:

Follow the following easy steps:

Step 1 – Flip hair over and lightly put hairspray on underside. Flip upright and spray on the top. Finger-tousle as it dries.

Step 2 – Gather your bang-hair area and bobby-pin it out of the way so you can style the rest of your hair first.

Step 3 – Curl 1-inch sections away from your face. Start wrapping your hair around the iron at ear level not above. And leave your ends out of the curling iron.

Step 4 – Unpin the bang section and curl as you did the rest of your hair.

Step 5 – Insert spread fingers into hair at the back of your neck. Shake your hair to make the curls messy.

Step 6 – Now pin back a piece of hair on each side of your part. Messy hairs are actually good. Secure them together with a bobby pin and mist with shine spray.

2. Pin Curl Twist:

This is also an easy to follow style and these are the steps:

Step 1 – Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.

Step 2 – Now you’re left with a section of hair over each ear. Run your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head. Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby pins, and then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.

Step 3 – And that leaves the always fashionable “mullet” at the nape of your neck.

Step 4 – Hold your left index and middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don’t attach it to the twists in Step 2 or you’ll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it’s all pinned up.

Step 5 – Mist with hairspray.

3. Side-swept Bun:

Easy to follow steps as explained:

Step 1 – Make a deep side part with a comb. Apply a bit of shine serum all over and comb through to tame flyaway.

Step 2 – Gather your hair into a low side pony behind the ear opposite your part. Secure with hair elastic.

Step 3 – Wrap the tail up toward your ear, then under the pony (into a bun), leaving the ends free.

Step 4 – Pierce the bun with your hair stick, making sure to thread one end of the stick through the elastic before letting it pop out the other side. This holds the bun in place.

4. Hello, Sailor:

The following are the steps to get this hairstyle done:

Step 1 – Make a side part. Starting with the bigger side, gather front section from the ear to your part and smooth it so the hairline is bump-free. Then twist several times upward toward your part. (See inset photo No.1.)

Step 2 – Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several bobby pins. At the end of the twist, criss-cross bobby pins to anchor the twist in place. Repeat on the smaller side.

Step 3 – Divide the hanging hair in back into 1-inch sections and wrap around a curling iron. Hold the barrel vertically to create a spiral.

Step 4 – Once all sections are curled, mist with hairspray and shake your hair gently to loosen the curls.

5. High-volume Pony:

Following are the steps to get this done:

Step 1 – Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip that front section out of the way.

Step 2 – At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create the bouffant behind the headband. Messy is fine; we’re about to cover it up anyway.

Step 3 – Un -clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of your longest hair and secure the rest with elastic.

Step 4 – Wrap the reserved hair around the hair elastic and secure underneath with a bobby pin.

Step 5 – Slip on a headband.
