Interesting list. Thanks. I was a bit confused about the last item. Talking rarely doesn’t mean that you’re having intellectual conversations, it just means you’re having less conversation.

Thanks!

I thought it was both informative and funny…because I don’t eat breakfast, and I smoke cigarettes, but have lots of intellectually stimulating conversations…does that count?

Some of this is common sense, but what are the credentials of either author? Are they brain experts? How do they know what will kill brain cells? The name ‘CutestPrincess’ does not inspire confidence in me regarding the factual accuracy of this piece.
Reader beware!

Wow, I never knew about sleeping with your head covered or missing breakfast. I think drugs should be up there.

Informative article. I didn’t even realize that sleeping with your head covered or over-working your brain during an illness could result in severe damage.Very important to know for your health.

I agree with all your ideas here. Your piece complimented the article I wrote about the health risks of softdrinks and soda pop.
Keep up the good work!

What about intellectual on-line networking and writing? Does that count in lieu of conversation when one works at home???

I’m enjoying your article by myself inside a noisy bus peopled with smokers. The only breakfast I had was a Coke, and I’m extremely upset about it. I got to sleep late last night because of a cold, only to find my cat on my face when I woke up. I do talk to her, though she doesn’t have much to say.
Seriously, thanks for the post – great stuff!

I wouldn’t call the “Biggest” brain damaging habits. I would thing blunt force trauma and drug addition would cause far more damage to the brain than thinking too much while you’re sick, Overreacting, and every other thing listed here.
Do you have any citations for what you have here? Any kind of medical research?
I see that there are several people there that actually thought for a minute about what they where reading and tried to see if it made any sense. As for the rest of you that just blindly accept anything that is posted on the internet… you my friends, need to take your head out from under the pillow and eat some breakfast.

This is so insulting, it’s amazing. Your scientific method = I want it to be true really bad, this sounds logical…(mix in a unicorn and three fairy tears)..publish it to a vacuous agreeable audience. wha-la a pretty untruth perpetuated without effort, hassle, peer review etc. Please indulge me on the pathogenesis of say overeating? man’s progenitor no doubt ate promptly at 7, 12, and 5 never wanting. Glycogenolysis and lipolysis are long words anyway. Please censure your ignorance; you subtract from mankind’s corpus of achievements.

Hey, I found this through StumbleUpon, so it really does work!
Nicely presented. I see that there are some comments from naysayers, but I also believe that there’s a lot of truth in this article … not stuff that necessarily has scientific backing, but stuff that makes sense due to lifestyles associated with some of these habits. Food for thought. Nicely written.

So I just did a quick “PubMed” and “Web of Science” search, and it seems to me that there is no evidence of long term effects on the brain from not eating breakfast in HEALTHY ADULTS.

You can’t just publish such a list with nothing to back it up! Where is your proof? Some of the items (smoking) are obvious, but others are questionable at best. If you are going to continue making lists and publishing them on the net, do a better job of documentation next time for a more believable and convincing page.

this is HORRIBLE. it’s sad that so many people are so uneducated and believe things like this. NO SOURCES! most of this is FALSE! not to mention that people shouldn’t be listening to “health advice” from someone whose name is CutestPrincess. Jeez. Please stop posting this kind of nonsense – you might actually convince some people.

My mother died almost 11 years ago after suffering from Alzheimer’s for more than 16 years (68yo). She never smoked a cigarette a day in her life. Not entirely sure this is proven, and oddly, as a child of a victim who’s more aware of it than most, have never heard it before.

… This is very scary, I did most of the thing in the article… I wonder if I am fine now …
@Filip: I am not sure about that, most of the thing written there sound logically convincing though.

11. Reading stupid unsourced articles on the internet. Come on people, there are real articles out there, use “the google” or even a journal search and find them.
Cynical Steve | May 17, 2009 | Reply
#3 is a blatant lie. Smoking not only does NOT cause brain damage it can actually prevent late onset alzheimers in older people because the constant stream of stimulants via nicotine can maintain brain function by stimulating release of neurotrophins.
