5 Main Causes of Brain Cell Death
Scientists have named five main causes of death of human brain cells.
Sleep deprivation
According to scientists, for normal brain functioning, an adult needs to sleep from 7 to 9 hours a day. It is a well-known fact that as a result of lack of sleep, a person may have problems with concentration. People who don’t get enough sleep have difficulty making decisions and communicating with others. But not everyone knows that a lack of sleep leads to damage to brain neurons and impaired cognitive function.
Drugs.
Scientists believe that narcotic substances are addictive precisely because brain cells die while taking drugs and it becomes difficult for people to feel good again. Repeated drug use gives a deceptive feeling of well-being, but in fact, in this way a person only destroys even more cells of his brain.
Alcohol
As a result of drinking alcohol, dehydration of the human body begins. Since the human brain is 75% water, dehydration affects it extremely negatively. With a lack of water to maintain the brain, the human body begins to direct all the water available in it there, and this leads to cerebral edema. As a result of this, seizures often occur that negatively affect the functioning of the brain.
Smoking
With just one puff, a smoker inhales more than 7,000 toxic substances. Of these, 69 provoke heart attacks, strokes and the development of cancer. Substances contained in tobacco smoke not only contribute to the death of human brain cells, but also, as scientists recently found, cause the white blood cells of the brain to attack and kill other healthy cells.
Stress.
Minor stress, according to scientists, helps a person concentrate on solving complex problems. But constant stress exhausts a person, deprives him of strength and energy, and already begins to interfere in the process of concentration. Chronic stress leads to a number of changes in the human brain, which can further provoke the occurrence of mental disorders.
