Most emailed @VT: Brain Damaging Habits. Here are some information on what may damage your brain or slightly “rust” your brain, if you do not persevere in your daily lifestyle and eating habits.
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 . Overeatin
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 disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Privilege Abused
Mar 1st
PRIVILEGE ABUSED - Many residents nowadays are abusing the privilege of playing the crackers. The sights of crackers at the beginning of the Chinese New Year could seem reasonable, but the continuous crackers for 15 days consecutively was almost disturbing the whole residential area, not one night, but for 15 nights. It would be wise if the money used to “burn” the crackers were put to good use such as donating it to charity.
The aftermath of an 8.8 quake in Chile has caused a death toll nearly doubles as rescuers reach isolated and devastated towns. About 2 million people are hurt or without their homes while the death toll jumps to 708.
Buildings have been reduced to rubble – and phone lines have been brought down. Seismologists say the tremor has caused a tsunami – with three-metre-high waves heading towards Chile’s coast. The most devastating earthquake in the country’s history struck in 1960 – killing more than 1600 people.
