TOP 10 BIGGEST BRAIN DAMAGING 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. 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 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 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

Teacher You're Wrong!

You know what makes me really angry?! Teachers that don't know how to teach!!! Grrr! It is so unfair that I have some teachers that really suck at teaching! My gosh! Is there a sudden lack in teachers at XU that they just recruit anyone, I mean "ANYONE", even if they suck at teaching? Like if I have a teacher like that I would rather teach my self. I mean I am teaching myself because my darn teacher talks to himself/herself during class discussions. And to think that this teacher gets angry and even annoyed if you correct her mistakes? Like BIG and STUPID mistakes!!! Grr!!!

I have highschool teachers who are far more competent than some of my college teachers! Xavier should think about having a re-evaluation of its teachers if it really intend to provide its students with "quality" education.
