efficient to cook little pieces quickly, but also then, you don't have to cut them. So, you kind of
have the circular influence where the type of food that is cooked allows people to use
chopsticks, and then the fact that you have chopsticks sort of influences the kind of food that
you can cook.

Script :

Be aware of the significant relationship between sleep and Alzheimer's disease

Lack of sleep can actually cause harm to the brain. Some of the losses that arise due to lack

of sleep, such as sleepiness tomorrow which can cause a lack of concentration while doing

activities, productivity at work decreases. Lack of sleep for a long time - for example due to

staying up too often - can actually increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's in the future.

Alzheimer's begins with a weak memory, disruption in planning, reasoning, perception,

language, and difficulties in carrying out activities independently. Alzheimer's often attacks the

elderly over the age of 65.Because those who have a normal sleep time have the ability to

suppress the work of brain cells compared to people who have very less sleep. Enough sleep can

suppress the work of brain cells in the brain. This adds to the evidence that there is a link

between lack of sleep and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's.
