In this moment, professor and neuroscientist, Wendy Suzuki outlines how to destroy your brain.

Many of the ways to wreck your brain health are obvious, such as poor sleep, smoking, eating a processed diet and no exercise. However, some brain damaging habit are more subtle, including not learning and using social media.

Wendy says that the increased use of social media is a massive concern for how it will impact the younger generation.
