Which scientists had really bad habits?

 There’s a lot to love about Richard Feynman. The man was a brilliant physicist, lock-picker, jokester, story-teller, teacher, and so much more.

The way Stanford professor Leonard Susskind put it, “he always made me feel smart… He made me feel he was smart. He made me feel we were both smart, and the two of us could solve any problem together.”

But, for a while at least, Feynman didn’t brush his teeth, according to his colleague Murray Gell-Mann. He thought brushing was a superstition. Gel-Mann says his dentists had a lot of trouble. At one point, they even brought in scientific studies, trying to get the guy to brush and floss.

Some of his other habits were more amusing. He worked at Caltech for much of his life. The Caltech faculty club had a jacket-and-tie dress policy. Every morning, he would show up at work with a jacket and tie. But every day, by noon, he’d no longer be wearing them. When he got to the faculty club for lunch, he’d go to the backup wardrobe and pick out a messy tie and beat-up jacket for lunch.

(If you haven’t read them already, I highly recommend Feynman’s books Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman and What Do You Care What Other People Think?; they’re probably the two best things I’ve read in the past year.)

What are daily good habits?

 

• Eat Saunf and Mishri after your lunch(Helps in digestion, removing bad breath post-lunch and balance body ph level.

 Staying healthy begins with a nutrient-rich diet centered on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. It's important to limit processed foods, added sugars, and excessive salt, while staying well-hydrated and practicing mindful portion control.

Consistent meal timing and avoiding heavy late-night eating can also support better digestion and metabolism.

Regular physical activity - at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week and strength training twice weekly helps maintain weight, boost mood, and protect heart health.

Flexibility and mobility exercises, like stretching or yoga, reduce injury risk and improve daily function.

Prioritizing mental well-being through adequate sleep (7–9 hours), stress reduction, and emotional support is equally vital.

Avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, and managing screen time contribute to both physical and emotional resilience.

Building these habits into your routine creates a sustainable, balanced lifestyle that enhances long-term health and vitality.

7 Habits destroying your Brain

 7 Habits destroying your Brain 🧠:

1. Not exercising.

Exercise improves memory by increasing the brain-derived neurotrophic factor. (Look it up!) This helps you form new synapses, improves learning, and boosts memory.

2. Not getting enough sleep.

Without quality sleep it’s harder to form and maintain pathways in your brain that let you learn and create new memories.

It’s also harder to concentrate and respond quickly.

3. Eating inflammatory foods.

What you eat has a direct effect on your mind and mood.

A diet high in foods that are dried and/or processed can lead to chronic inflammation. This can cause memory loss, confusion, depression, poor mood regulation, and even neurological diseases.

4. Having a big belly.

High body fat has been associated with a decline in gray matter, which enables us to control movement, memory, and emotions.

5. Not learning new things.

The brain is like a muscle. It grows and shrinks based on its level of activity and use.

Learning new skills stimulates neurons and forms new pathways that allow electrical impulses to travel faster.

If you’re not learning new things or skills you’re letting your brain atrophy.

6. Watching pornography.

Watching porn hijacks the brain reward system and overwhelms it with cheap hits of dopamine. The result is the brain physically deteriorates in size, shape, and chemical balance.(please avoid it,you still have time)

7. Spending too much time indoors.

This deprives you from getting exposure to sunlight.

Without enough sun exposure your circadian rhythm gets affected and your serotonin levels can dip. This can lead to seasonal affective disorder and depression.

How to Build a Healthy Brain

1) Exercise regularly.

2) Get quality sleep.

3) Eat nutrient dense foods.

4) Maintain a healthy BMI.

5) Keep learning new things.

6) Stop watching porn.

7) Spend more time outside or with nature.
