Our brains play a critical role in our everyday lives, influencing our memory, concentration, reaction time, sleep, thinking, and even language abilities. However, due to various factors such as environmental pollutants, certain medications, and even everyday household products, our brains can be exposed to neurotoxins that can negatively impact their functions.
