Beware of these 16 short-lived bad habits

A thousand-mile long dam can be destroyed by a single ant hole, and the same is true for human health. Any serious illness is caused by not paying attention to the details of daily life, which accumulates over time. Therefore, to protect your physical and mental health, you must pay attention to details and attach importance to every little thing in life. Only with good living habits can health be guaranteed.

At any time, unhealthy living habits are killers that attack your health, while healthy habits benefit your life. Therefore, the following bad habits must be eliminated.

1. Make the quilt first when you get up

The human body itself is also a source of pollution. During a night's sleep, the human skin will emit a large amount of water vapor, causing the quilt to become damp to varying degrees. There are 145 chemicals excreted through human breathing and pores throughout the body, and 151 chemicals evaporate from sweat. Quilts absorb or adsorb moisture and gas. If they are not allowed to dissipate and are folded immediately, the quilt will easily become damp and contaminated by chemical substances.

2. Loosen your belt after meals

It can reduce the intra-abdominal pressure, increase the activity of the digestive organs and the load on the ligaments, thereby intensifying intestinal peristalsis, making it easier for intestinal torsion to occur, causing abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting, and making people more susceptible to diseases such as gastroptosis.

3. Sleeping right after a meal

It will reduce the oxygen supply to the brain, easily causing heart burning and indigestion, and can also cause weight gain.

4. Eating sugar on an empty stomach

The longer you have the habit of eating sugar on an empty stomach, the more it will damage your protein absorption. Thereby affecting various normal functions of the human body and making the body weak.

5. Grow a beard

Beards have the ability to absorb harmful substances. The air pollution index inhaled by people with beards is 4.2 times that of ordinary air. If one has a beard or a mustache on his chin, the pollution index can be as high as 7.2 times. Add to that factors like smoking, and the pollution index will be as high as 50 times that of ordinary air.

6. Cross your legs

It will cause poor blood flow in the legs and affect your health. If you are suffering from varicose veins, arthritis, neuralgia, or venous thrombosis, crossing your legs will make your condition worse. People with long legs or pregnant women are particularly prone to venous thrombosis.

7. Squinting and rubbing your eyes

If you squint to see things, crow's tail wrinkles will easily appear at the corners of your eyes. Habitual squinting can also cause eye muscle fatigue, dizziness and headaches. When you rub your eyes, germs will be transmitted from your hands to your eyes, causing inflammation and eyelash breakage or loss.

8. Holding back urine

It may cause acute cystitis, with symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and lower abdominal distension and pain. A research report from the United States pointed out that people who have the habit of holding urine are five times more likely to suffer from cystitis than the average person.

9. Not washing your face before going to bed

If the makeup and dust left on the face are not washed off, it will cause inflammation such as acne and stye, and can also cause eye inflammation and cause skin allergic reactions.

10. Taking a hot shower for too long

In tap water, chloroform and trichloroethylene are harmful substances that are easily volatile. Since water droplets have more opportunities to come into contact with air during an ice bath, a large amount of these two harmful substances are released.

Female friends should also be especially vigilant about the following six bad habits!

11. Wearing high heels from 9 to 5

In order to match their professional attire, white-collar women put on high heels before going out every morning. They cannot take them off even when watching movies or shopping in the mall after get off work. They can only take them off when they get home, and they wear high heels for more than ten hours.

Causes of harm:

Wearing high heels for a long time will put your feet in an unnatural state for a long time, the pressure on the arch of the foot will increase, without any rest, and the toes will be forced to bear excessive pressure. Over time, symptoms such as hallux valgus and collapsed arches will appear, becoming increasingly painful, and ultimately requiring surgery to correct.

Change:

Prepare a pair of comfortable flat leather shoes in the office and enjoy 8 hours of foot relaxation. Don't wear the same pair of shoes for more than 3 consecutive days. This will keep your feet clean and allow the shoes to "recover" their strength.

12. Hang your phone on your chest

In order to answer calls conveniently, always keep your mobile phone on your chest.

Causes of harm:

Although the academic community has been arguing about the extent of the harm caused by mobile phone radiation, hanging it in front of the chest, close to the chest and abdominal cavity, will eventually have some impact.

Change:

Prepare a mobile phone holder and put it on your desk, which is both beautiful and convenient. Or put your phone in a drawer and put it in your bag when you go out.

13. Reapplying makeup without removing it

I touch up my makeup several times a day. Every time I pick up a makeup mirror, powder puff, and lipstick, I do it directly. It's quick and easy.

Causes of harm:

While cosmetics become our face, they are also the first step for the skin to welcome external dust and bacteria. Especially when you come back from outside work, the dust has already deeply settled into the cosmetics, coupled with the oil and sweat secreted by the skin, the degree of pollution can be imagined.

If you put on makeup without removing it, these impurities will be directly covered on the skin, making it impossible for the skin to breathe. Moreover, with the movement of tools such as powder puffs, they may penetrate into the pores, irritate the skin, and cause blackheads, acne, etc.

Change:

Prepare a bottle of quick makeup-removing facial cleanser in the office. Be sure to remove makeup thoroughly before applying touch-ups. After removing makeup, try to let your skin breathe for a few minutes before applying makeup again. If time doesn’t permit, just apply some lipstick to add a finishing touch.

14. Drinking too much coffee, strong tea and other beverages and ignoring plain water

Causes of harm:

The metabolism of beverages such as coffee and strong tea in the body is different from that of boiled water. They cannot replace boiled water, especially the detoxification function of boiled water. Although coffee and strong tea have diuretic and refreshing effects, they can also cause cellular dehydration. Drinking too much will affect the balance of the body.

Change:

In addition to beverages, you need to drink at least 1500 ml of boiled water every day. You should avoid drinking too much coffee or strong tea. Calculated as 250 ml per cup, the daily intake should be limited to 2 cups.

15. Share your lipstick with others

The sisters in the office all tried the newly launched lipstick product on their lips to see if it was suitable for them.

Causes of harm:

The saying "diseases enter through the mouth" is not unfamiliar to us. Although lipstick is applied on the lips, as you talk, drink water, swallow, etc., the bacteria on the portal will seize the opportunity to get in. Using other people's lipstick casually will open the door to cross-infection of bacteria.

Change:

It is recommended to use lipstick exclusively. If you are too embarrassed to let someone "molest" your lipstick, you can generously say: Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Alternatively, simply scrape off the top 2 to 3 mm of the lipstick.

16. Wear headphones during work hours

You think that wearing headphones while working can avoid disturbing people around you, and even if you take a break to listen to music, your boss won't notice.

Causes of harm:

The earphones are hung in the external auditory canal, transmitting sound to the ear at zero distance, avoiding interference from other sounds and directly stimulating the ear nerves. Excessive volume for a long time can cause hearing loss.

Change:

The headphones can be replaced with small speakers. If you need to use headphones, avoid turning the volume too high. Do not use other people's headphones easily to avoid cross infection.
