Most of
us always try to apply a healthy lifestyle. Routine exercise, control food
intake, or follow the rules of health in general. However, unwittingly many of
the habits and behaviors that we do everyday able to generate potential that is
dangerous enough for us.
But what
are the Habits?
1.
Consumption of vitamins every day
Most
people need multi vitamins to maintain endurance and increase nutritional
needs. However, a number of studies have shown that supplements that are
consumed regularly are unlikely to protect the body from chronic illness and
are just wasting money.
Three
studies conducted in 2013 found no evidence that taking daily supplements
prevent or slow the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer and
heart disease.
In 2017,
the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. underscores the potential for
other hazards to consume supplements. They issued a warning to consumers about
the risk of high doses of biotin, the vitamin B complex.
High
biotin content in the blood can reduce the results of several laboratory tests,
such as tests that measure hormone levels and tests that detect heart attacks.
The results of the wrong test can cause fatal even death.
2. Sit
all day long
Jobs
that require you to sit in a chair for hours prove to be harmful to health,
linked to diabetes and heart disease, according to the study.
A study
in 2015 identifies other risks. Women who sit more than 6 hours a day have a
higher risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma (a
form of blood cancer), compared to women who sit less than 3 hours in a day.
These
results are not seen in men, except those who have obesity problems. Men with
obesity who spend more time in a sitting position also have a higher risk of
cancer.
Exercise
can be one of the best ways to overcome the negative effects caused by being
too long in a sitting position. Take a moment to move the body to eliminate
some health risks from sitting for long periods of time.
3. Using
a smart phone
Smartphones
have become a necessity for anyone nowadays. However, the more people who use
it, the more health concerns that arise.
A study
in 2016 reveals that adults spend more time using their smartphones before
going to sleep, so they take longer to fall asleep and the quality of sleep
earned is also not good.
One
reason is because exposure to blue light on the phone screen can suppress the
production of brain hormone melatonin, making it difficult to drowsy.
Smartphones
can also affect the adolescent brain in other ways, producing too much
gamma-aminobutyric neurotransmitter (GABA), an area in the brain that controls
emotions, causing opiates for teenagers due to chemical imbalance in their
brain.
4. Too
long play social media
Although
social media is designed to connect between one person and many people, its
excessive use can have a detrimental effect on the user.
By
definition social isolation is that you will feel not part of the community and
have no skills to socialize with others to form a relationship.
There is
still no definitive research on why people are too long to use social media is
because they already feel isolated or whether they feel more isolated after the
use of social media increases.
Some
possible explanation for this is that social media can limit face-to-face
interactions, and display false images to others, indicating that others their
age are living a happier life than they are.
5.
Wearing Skinny Jeans
An
article in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry describes the
case of a woman who suffered nerve damage by helping her friend move while
wearing skinny jeans.
He
squats all day long, and this causes compression of the area below the knees
that have many nerves. Compression is severe enough to cause numbness in the
lower legs that cause to be hospitalized for several days.
Doctors
say that this condition is called "compartment syndrome" That is when
the blood supply to the leg muscles is reduced due to the use of tight pants.
This in turn causes muscle swelling and nearby nerve compression.
So,
avoid the use of pants that are too tight if your activities will be a lot of
squatting or sitting. If you have no choice, make sure you do not bend for a
long time.
6. Bite
your nails
For some
people will probably do this when you're feeling nervous. But did you know that
biting your nails could pose a risk to your health?
The
number and type of bacteria that live under your nails range from mild to quite
disgusting. Studies have found salmonella, E. coli, and other dangerous
pathogens.
Even if
you wash your hands regularly, it does not guarantee you have been thoroughly
cleaned up to your nails, so the bacteria rotted there. What can happen if you
keep biting your nails? You could end up with severe gastrointestinal problems
or other unpleasant diseases.
That's
Some of Our Daily Habits That Are Bad For Our Health.
