Taking care of someone else’s health is
easy but normally taking care of our own health is a thing which many people
are lacking behind. There are many healthcare tips that we can easily find on
the internet and many healthcare regimes, exercises or routine which we can
follow but instead of that,
people are having a busy schedule, forget to take out some time and make their own
health happy. But before taking
much time out, you must know about what you are doing wrong in your daily
routine which is steadily ruining your health without even letting you
know. There are several bad habits that can wreak havoc on your health and
fitness, thereby affecting your life in a detrimental way.
Habits ruining the health
There are many points that can be noted
which are contributing in ruining your health. Some of the common habits are as
follows:
Poor posture: Posture is a must
to maintain as it can make or break the structure of your body. You must not
slouch while sitting as it might comfort you but will gradually make your
posture bad. Body’s stability and balance are directly affected by an
alternative spine.
Working on the computer with the improper position of hand: We know that spending too much time on the computer is not healthy for
your eyes and tend to neglect the other harmful effects. Continuously sitting
on the computer for long hours can cause numbness and pain. This can increase
the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Due to this syndrome, a person
may feel tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands.
Stress: If you are not
happy with your lifestyle or work then you may release stress hormones that
will increase your blood sugar, lower immunity, slow digestion, and can make
you obese. Modern life can ultimately lead to chronic stress and to extensive
impacts on health such as sleep problems, change in sex drive, irritability and
anger. If you have stress symptoms,
taking steps to manage your stress can have numerous health benefits. To prevent, you can go
through several stress management strategies such as deep breathing, meditationor yoga. Take some time out for your hobbies, reading a book or listening to
music.
Consumption of alcohol: Consuming
more amount of alcohol can actually do harm to your body. It is being known
that alcohol consumption can lead to various health problems including
cirrhosis of the liver or injuries related to automobile accidents. Besides
this, excessive alcohol consumption is also linked to heart disease,
depression, gout, and cancer or nerve damage.
Smoking: Smoking is
injurious to health as it increases the risk of diseases like lung cancer,
developing mouth, throat, and bladder cancer. It makes the capacity of your
lungs short and if you once quit then the health benefits are almost immediate,
because your lungs and cardiovascular system begin repairing themselves within
minutes of your last cigarette. Within a month, your lungs will work better and
you should be coughing less, feel more energetic, and have less shortness of
breath. Quitting smoking can reduce cancer threat; heart disease improves your
sense of taste and smell and gives you better endurance.
Breakfast skipping: Breakfast is the
first meal you take during the day which energizes your metabolism and charge
you for the day. Skipping breakfast can seriously affect your health by making
you weigh more, negatively impacting on your hormonal health, cognition, and
mood.
Poor sleep: If you constantly
avoid your sleep or rest hours, that will lead you to fatigue or higher the
risk of depression. Poor quality of sleep can create problem to your immune
system function, excessive production of cortisol (steroid hormone), which usually
increases the weight and stress levels in the body.
Not drinking enough water: Drinking
water is essential for life. If you continuously keep yourself dehydrated by
not drinking the proper amount of water throughout the day it will show a major
impact on your health. Your skin will become dry and lifeless.
