    12 Habits That Damage Your Brain...

    Cognitive health is often overlooked until it begins to decline. In a world that is rapidly changing, we can easily forget how fragile our brains truly are. From the way we process information to our ability to recall memories, brain health affects every part of our daily lives. Yet, many of us unknowingly engage in habits that can damage our cognitive function over time. These seemingly harmless behaviors can lead to a range of mental health problems, including memory loss, mental fog, and even conditions like dementia. The good news is that by understanding how certain habits affect the brain, we can take steps to protect and improve our cognitive health. 
      
    The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the body. It is responsible for our thoughts, emotions, movements, and even the way we perceive the world around us. Despite its remarkable abilities, the brain is vulnerable to both internal and external factors that can have lasting consequences on its function. The habits we form daily play a crucial role in determining how well our brain performs. Even if we don’t feel immediate effects, bad habits can accumulate over time, leading to irreversible damage. 
      
    In this book, we explore twelve common habits that can harm cognitive health. These behaviors might seem harmless or even routine, but their impact on the brain can be far-reaching. From lack of sleep and chronic stress to poor dietary choices and sedentary living, many of these habits are all too familiar. However, understanding how these habits affect the brain is the first step in taking control of our mental health. Once we recognize the problem, we can implement strategies to protect our brain from further harm.

    Exploring exoplanets opens up a realm of possibilities for understanding the vastness of the cosmos. With over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered to date, each new finding offers a glimpse into the incredible diversity of worlds that exist beyond our solar system. 
      
    These exoplanets vary in size, composition, and orbital characteristics, ranging from rocky planets similar to Earth to gas giants many times the size of Jupiter. Some orbit their stars at a distance where liquid water, and potentially life, could exist—a key factor in the search for habitable worlds. By studying the atmospheres and compositions of exoplanets, scientists aim to uncover clues about their formation, evolution, and potential for hosting life. The ongoing discovery and study of exoplanets continue to reshape our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
