Healthy Brain Habits Learned from Children
Children intuitively understand the importance of healthy habits for the brain, as demonstrated by their categorization of behaviors into good and bad categories. They recognized the negative impact of smoking, lack of sleep, alcohol, marijuana, and even excess sugar from orange juice on the brain. Activities such as heading a soccer ball and insufficient sleep were correctly identified as harmful to brain health. Lack of sleep prevents the brain from properly cleansing itself, leading to a buildup of toxins and potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
