1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

On February 25,1990, at 5:30am, 26 year old Terri Schindler Schiavo from Florida, U.S.A., sustained severe brain damage due to sudden cessation of her heartbeat. For 15 years she had been in a persistent vegetative state and on life support. Her husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo, had battled Terri’s parents for seven years over his efforts to have her feeding tube removed, saying she would not want to be kept alive artificially and should be allowed to die.
