Losing brain cells is not a harmful thing that happens in human beings and it’s a general process. Most people don’t know that brain is capable of repairing itself and growing new brain cells via new process called neurogenesis. If you are heavy drug user or abuser there is still hope for you to repair your brain and get back on track.
But, there are certain things which we do unknowingly that cause our brain cells to death and results in damaging our internal organs easily.
Let’s see those 7 things which lead to slow brain cell death in this article.

Carbohydrate foods that will not raise the blood sugar levels are often called as low glycemic index foods and the foods which can raise blood sugar levels in the body called as high glycemic foods.
When the blood sugar levels rise to maximum level they will get stored in your blood cell tissues including your brain cells and this my even lead to death.
So, it’s better to avoid processed and fast foods that damage your brain cells and include all healthy foods which provide proteins and nutrients to your brain to be more active.

Due to the fact that our brain contains 75% of water, it is important to stay hydrated. If you fail to drink 8 glasses of water regularly then it might result in causing damage to your brain cells and make them dead.
If you go without any fluids for 24 hours then you are likely to end up killing brain cells. Make sure you make yourself hydrated to avoid unnecessary loss of brain cells.
-
Not Getting Enough Sleep:

Not getting enough sleep will obstruct the flow of oxygen that flow to your brain to keep cells alive and healthy. More specifically, even sleep apnea can harm cells associated with memory and sometimes leads to actual loss of brain tissues. Try to maintain at least 7 hours of sleep in a day to keep your brain cells active and to function normally.

According to recent study, brain cells shrink when they are exposed to alcohol, this effect can be seen more in women when compared with men.
Alcohol also helps to induce thiamine deficiency, which can lead to more serious brain disorder called Wernecks Encephalopathy.
This disease has symptoms like difficulty in moving your eyes due to nerve paralysis and problems with muscle co ordination to the point of becoming unable to walk.
