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.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING: ART INTERPRETATION

COLORS (Allan, 1989)

RED the most emotional color. It can show impulsiveness and spontaneity of expression, a need for affection from a significant person or a sign of aggression and hate. Red is also the color of martyrdom (Allan, 1989).

ORANGE similar to red but has greater control of emotions. Orange may indicate sympathy and friendliness or an indication of aggressive resistance to dependency (Allan, 1989).

YELLOW is a highly charged color like red indicating aggressiveness and hostility if over used. Lots of yellow may indicate self-destructive behavior if over used. Gold or light yellow represents intellect intuition, faith, and goodness. Dark yellows signify treachery, jealously, ambition, secrecy, and faithlessness (Allan, 1989).

GREEN tends to mean an escape from anxiety, a sense of controlled behavior, a return to an untroubled nature. On the whole, the use of green does not indicate strong emotions (Allan, 1989)

BLUE indicates an introverted person who has conscious emotional control. Pictures using blue heavily may indicate a need for self-control. Blue represents truth, intellect, wisdom, constancy, prudence, peace, contemplation, and the feminine symbolized by water (Allan, 1989).

PURPLE indicates a need for power that may border on paranoia. Purple has been considered to be a "power' color, because it is associated with royalty (Allan, 1989).

BLACK and brown represent inhibitions, repression, and depression with possible regression is used sloppily (Allan, 1989).

WHITE can mean anti-social attitudes or it can be transcendence, simplicity, perfection and purity (Allan, 1989).

SYMBOLS COMMONLY USED

APPLES represent fertility, love, joyousness, knowledge, wisdom, divination, or deceitfulness and death. A child needing emotional nurturance may draw apples. Worms drawn in the apple may indicate that their nurturance has not been adequate or positive (Allan, 1989).

BIRDS represent transcendence; a need to mature beyond the current state, the soul, ascent of the soul to heaven. Birds in children drawings usually mean a change has taken place (Allan, 1989).

CATS can represent desire, liberty, and stealth. Black cats are associated with evil and death, playfulness and grace. The cat may be a representation of the child's affection for his or her pet, which can also indicate a need for affection (Allan, 1989).
DOGS can symbolize fidelity, watchfulness, nobility, depravity, scavenging, or fury. A dog can also indicate a need for affection or expression of affection toward a pet (Allan, 1989).

FIRE is a symbol of renewal of life, transformation, purification, passion, impregnation, power, defense, protection, or destruction. Fire can mean hostility (Allan, 1989).
