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

Google isn’t a good place for a source.. you have to give separate URLs. Employers won’t give you a job if you give Google as a source of all your work (if you do work that involves sources)

Ya, Newton was sure dumb…locked himself in a room for 20 years to invent Calculus. A) All things in moderation (studies lie alot…I’ve taken statistics and you can make a study say anything you want) and B) listen to your body. Those to things take care of everything on the list.
Honestly if you are going to try and categorize it…your wasting your time because you aren’t considering factors that may offset, supplement, compliment, or counteract effects on your list.

After 15 years away from music I went back to reading and playing music again. I was losing it and I knew I had to press my brain. You should at least do crossword puzzles every day.
Great Post!

google isnt a source. its a way to find sources. and you cant accept everything you find in a search as valid, because some people just make things up.

sources to back these claims? – yeah, google is biggest source, just search for this text and you will find so many resources; searching the text only shows links to other sites with the same sentence (also with no sources, or the science behind it.)

Talking rarely might be good for the brain too; perhaps flowing from one to the other.
Fun list. I do most sometime or other.
