It turns out that there are too many legends about the benefits of certain habits. In order to understand what habits really benefit us and what harm, we will analyze them in more detail.
10. At the weekend, sleep off for the past week.
Scientists have found that only a uniform sleep is useful. That is, you can’t get enough sleep all week, and wait for the weekend to sleep both days. Thus, you will not rest and restore lost strength. It is recommended to sleep daily for 7 to 8 hours. Violation of sleep patterns can lead to a variety of problems associated with health and psychological state. Sleep is necessary for a person to restore strength and energy, so you should not neglect it. It has been proven that people who often do not get enough sleep can get diabetes and heart-related diseases.
9. Follow as often as possible to take vitamins to strengthen the body
The main source of vitamins and minerals for humans should be, first of all, healthy food. Your diet should be rich and varied, only in this case it will become useful. Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink natural juices. Do not neglect the consumption of fish and meat. If you feel that something is missing for your well-being, consult a doctor. Only a qualified specialist, having done a number of tests, will tell you for sure which vitamins and minerals in the body are not enough. There is no need to act at random in this matter. Do not save on your health.
8. Daily and repeated bath or shower
In fact, in recent years, people began to wash very often. But this habit is very dangerous and harmful. The fact is that when taking a bath or shower, especially with shower gel or soap, we wash away the accumulated protective layer from our skin. The human body does not need a daily shower, of course, if this is not related to the specifics of your work (miners simply need to wash). If you still can’t do without taking a bath or shower all the time, it is recommended to do this without using soap or gel and in cool water, so you won’t wipe the protective film from your skin.
7. Turning away from a person who is sick, you can avoid infection
Pathogenic bacteria spread very quickly around the room, this process is many times faster than the reaction of a person, so turning away from a sneezing or coughing person, holding your breath, is simply stupid. If possible, then the best option to avoid infection is not to be in the same room with the person who is sick, only this will definitely protect you from infection. Even a gauze dressing will not save you from germs coming from another person, so go as far away as possible from the sick person.
6. Brush your teeth after each meal
If you often brush your teeth, then you will inevitably damage the tooth enamel. It is especially harmful to brush your teeth immediately after eating, as the enamel softens when you eat something sour or sweet. You will certainly damage the softened enamel, so teeth can only be brushed 30 minutes after eating. Immediately after eating, you can rinse your mouth with clean water or an mouth rinse. You can also use floss or a toothpick to get rid of pieces of stuck food. But it is recommended to brush your teeth with toothpaste no more than two to three times a day.
5. After eating, you can sleep
Sleep immediately after eating will inevitably lead to weight gain. The thing is that calories immediately after eating are just beginning to be absorbed. If you lie down at this time, then all the calories will go to gain weight, as the body decides to store the calories for a better time and only then spend them. Therefore, immediately after eating, it is better to take a walk or do some business, but just do not go to bed. Immediately after eating, do something that will help you spend calories.
4. The house always needs to maintain perfect cleanliness.
Yes, order in the house and cleanliness are necessary, but to constantly clean, maintaining sterile conditions, is a bust. An organism, accustomed to environmental sterility, will fall into a stressful situation when it is on the street. Scientists have already proven that allergies occur in people who are not used to environmental conditions. This suggests that an allergy to dust may appear in those who previously lived in an apartment that was cleaned daily. Interesting fact, right? It turns out that cleaning should be regular, but not very frequent (cleaning up the apartment once or twice a week is enough).
3. Microwave destroys nutrients in food
This fact may seem surprising to you, but scientists at Harvard University have already shown that heating food in the microwave is not harmful, but rather is considered one of the most useful ways of heating dishes. The thing is that food in the microwave warms up very quickly and this allows you to save some of the vitamins in the food. If you want to preserve as many useful properties of your food as possible, then you should cover the dish with a special lid before heating it in the microwave.
2. The more sleep, the better
It turns out that overfilling can be just as harmful as lack of sleep. An adult healthy person should have enough eight-hour sleep to restore the body. If a person pours or lacks sleep, this leads to malfunctions in the brain. Such a person experiences lethargy and drowsiness, is depressed. If you sleep 8 hours a day and think that this is not enough for you. If you feel bad after such a dream, then you should undergo an examination - such drowsiness can be a symptom of a chronic disease.
1. A backpack is great for carrying things
It turns out that a backpack must, first of all, be able to wear correctly. And the backpack itself must be made in accordance with all the rules. The backpack must be worn correctly: it should be 5 cm above the waist and all its belts should be fastened. The backpack should not be overloaded, otherwise you will in any case have a backache from the severity of things in the backpack. Try to take with you only everything you need, this will additionally protect you from diseases of the spine.
