10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to
have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an
insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain
causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries,
leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead
to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of
proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and
may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our
body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply
of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a
decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term
deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death
of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the
concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease
concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain
damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead
to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as
well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain,
lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause
brain shrinkage.


10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the
efficiency of the brain.

Focus on #9. This is why we must continue on modeling. Scratchbuilders will be the most likely will benifit more. So don't stop working on kits. Keep 'em coming!

Thats pretty cool. I think I am gonna go eat breakfast and then work on my model. After thats get involved in a conversation while getting some fresh air!

My answer to why I should continue modeling is that I didn't get all the equipment for nothing nor the kit stash just for decoration! #:-)

lol.............funny stuff.
Thing is, who do you talk to when modelling.......personally i talk to no -one...........
I hardly eat when modelling and breath in glue fumes regular....(NOT ON PURPOSE!)

3 to 1, nuts I'm screwed! :-)

Hello there guys . i have to admit that all these side effects are not applied so much on to me, cause i ve got a wife and a 15 months lil daughter that wants all the time people to play with her . so ..... u understand . but i have to admit that in my early years of this 24 years modelling "carrer" i have been obsessed many times and periods with all the presaid symptoms..... nice post

I'd like seeing miniatures depicting people whose lives and efforts planted the freedom we enjoy today....Pretty off track, but that's what I think why I should continue this hobby...

Yup! We're all smart guys! ^_^ We study history! (self explanatory) We learn math!(eg: how much thinner to paint ratio?) We learn physics (eg: proper mounting to achieve model equilibrium...) and best of all, we all have fun!

oopps... you forgot, thanks to modeling, I got a 95% score on our drafting class :-) , 100% during our Autocadd class and another 100% during our Electronics CAD class :-) :-) :-) :-) Thank God for modeling :-) :-) :-)
