Brain health specialists warn of a daily habit that could be affecting your mental well-being


3. Sleep deprivation – an unexpected threat to memory

Sleep deprivation has far more serious consequences than just normal fatigue. It disrupts the brain’s nightly “cleansing cycle,” impairs memory, and increases oxidative stress. Deep, regular sleep is crucial for mental well-being.


4. Daily alcohol consumption – an underestimated danger

Even moderate but regular alcohol consumption can impair communication between nerve cells and slow down brain recovery. Specialists emphasize that brain damage does not only occur with heavy consumption; even repeated small amounts can be sufficient. Reducing intake gives the brain a chance to repair itself.
