It's time to get rid of bad habits!
Not only health depends on lifestyle, but also life expectancy. Of course, it is unlikely that proper nutrition and activity will protect you from an accident (although who knows?), but they can reduce the risk of developing dangerous and potentially fatal diseases. So take inventory of your habits - and mercilessly get rid of all dangerous and harmful ones!
Eat at night
The habit of looking into the refrigerator in the middle of the night and chewing something tasty (and often harmful) is dangerous not only for your figure, but also for your health and even life. First, such night snacks cause dangerous spikes in glucose and affect insulin tolerance, which can significantly increase the risk of developing type XNUMX diabetes. Secondly, eating at night increases the level of triglycerides in the blood — dangerous fats that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Go to bed late
Every time you sacrifice sleep for another episode of your favorite movie or a glass of wine with friends, you are putting your health at risk. Lack of sleep is extremely harmful, chronic lack of night rest increases the risk of developing various diseases, from heart disease to cancer. In addition, the loss of concentration after a sleepless night can be dangerous if you drive a car or work with dangerous equipment.
Abuse salt
Almost 10% of all deaths related to eating disorders occurred due to excessive salt consumption. Moreover, it is the excess or lack of salt in the diet that is responsible for 45% of all deaths caused by heart disease, stroke and type XNUMX diabetes. Control the level of salt in your diet — your life literally depends on it.
Do not wash your hands
We have so often heard the call to wash our hands after returning from the street, before eating, after visiting the toilet, that we often do not perceive it as something really important, and very in vain. Because, no matter how hard it is, the world around us is still full of really dangerous germs - and hand washing remains the easiest and most reliable way to protect your health every day. Do not neglect!
Do not use dental floss
You will be surprised, but regular flossing can increase your life expectancy by six years. The fact is that dental floss helps to fight diseases and inflammation of the gums — and thereby prevent the penetration of dangerous bacteria into the blood, which can provoke the development of dangerous diseases. So take care of the health of your teeth and gums - not only your dazzling smile depends on them!
Do not use a condom
Until now, the use of condoms remains the most reliable way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. And this is especially important now, when there is a high increase in new HIV cases in Ukraine and neighboring countries. Do not risk your health and life, do not succumb to tricks and persuasion - use a condom during sexual contact, including in long-term relationships.
Skip breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you should never skip it. Studies confirm the connection between regularly skipping breakfast and an increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition, it is a dense breakfast that helps us feel full throughout the day and avoid unhealthy snacks — and this is already useful not only for health, but also for the figure.
