Everyday habit contributes to how your health progresses or not. They may seem innocent habits to you but to your body they’re already big deal. Here are some of the habits that you should definitely avoid if you want to live a longer life.
1. Overeating
Overeating can lead to obesity and other health issues. So, while we definitely need to feed our growling stomach and indulge in our favorite treats once in awhile, you better learn how to limit munch time to avoid illnesses in the future.
2. Too Much Exposure To The Sun
Yes there are a lot of health benefits we get from the sun. But too much exposure carry health risks too like skin cancer and even speed up skin aging. Try to avoid going out when the sun is at its peak around 10am-2pm, but when you really have to, make sure you’re wearing sunscreen.
3. Keeping To Yourself
Me time is important, but there’s a difference between making time for yourself and spending time alone all the time. You should know that having a strong network of friends and family for support strengthens not just your emotional well-being but as well as mental and physical one.
4. Drowning Yourself With The Wrong Liquid
Just because alcohol, artificial juices, soda, or coffee is liquid doesn’t mean you’re hydrating your body properly. What your body needs for adequate and proper hydration is water. Much better if you opt for alkaline water, because, aside from hydration it also provides other benefits for your body.
5. Fast Food Diet
Convenient and delicious but with little to no nutritional value—that’s what fast foods are. Now, if all you eat it is that, don’t be surprised if you’re sick or feel tired all the time or gaining weight. Make your diet 70% fruits and veggies, 25% meat and dairy, and 5% of anything you like.
6. Sedentary Lifestyle
Our body is meant to move. Take that away from your body and you’ll feel how every function seems to be declining. You get tired easily, you gain weight, you always have back pain, and more. Daily physical activity is important to your overall health. Even moderate and quick ones, like 30-minute walk each day helps.
7. Smoking
Smoking shortens your lifespan. If that’s not reason enough for you to quit I don’t know what is. But aside from that you might also be inflicting secondhand smoke to other people which is more lethal than inhaling smoke directly from a cigar. What’s the use of you installing an air purifier at home to breathe clean air if you’re still going to continue puffing that cigarette?
