Aging is inevitable. As we get older, our skin gets wrinkled, our bones shrink. We might also have eyesight or hearing issues. Most, if not all, of the system in our body is affected by this natural process, and that includes the cognitive process.
As we age through time, we might find it hard to remember names and words. This happens faster if we don’t keep our brain healthy.
One way to keep our brain healthy is if we exercise it. “Use it or lose it,” as psychologists would say.
To put it simply, our lifestyle habits determine the speed of aging. There are ways to slow down brain aging, and there are ways to make it faster. According to Fast Company, there are five workplace habits that may contribute to cognitive decline. These habits might seem harmless at first, but it greatly hurts our brains in the long run. Here are the 5 habits, according to them:
1) Working late too many days in a row.
2) Relying on sweets at 3 P.M.
3) Being antisocial
4) Not taking a break when you need to.
5) Multitasking
It is good to use our brain so that we won’t lose it. However, let us not overuse it.
