Caring for the Brain: Reduce Stress
Stress is the silent cause of brain cancer. If we want to care for our brain, we must reduce the stress in our lives by having a positive mental attitude, controlling our hot-headed temper and seeking for activities that will make us calm and relaxed at all times. If we are not careful, we can actually kill our good cells by being stressed.
One kind of stress is called acute stress, which is normal and short-lived. It is the one that you experience when a car suddenly pulls out in front of you and you have to hit your brakes. The long-term stress in our day-to-day lives is the one that can actually damage the brain.
