Excess alcohol
Well, it’s not rocket science… Anyone could tell you that excess alcohol is bad for your brain health. A board-certified neurologist, David Perlmutter, MD, says that drinking in excess, no matter what you drink and how old you are, can lead to serious consequences on your brain function.
Sipping a glass of red wine once in a while is actually beneficial for your overall health, but if a glass of red wine transforms to three or four, Houston, we have a big problem. A study suggests that even one drink consumed daily can have certain effects on the brain. The most vulnerable part of the brain when drinking alcohol is the hippocampus.
If you want to take good care of your brain, limit your alcohol intake to no more than two alcoholic beverages per day (for men), or no more than one drink (for women).
Moderation is key in everything!
