Everyday Habits
SHARE THIS POST:

Giving up everyday habits that are damaging can be difficult. It’s even more difficult to drop those that we normally think of as beneficial to us that in fact can do damage to our bodies.

My Woven Words has put together a list of everyday habits that are damaging and can cause more harm than good.

Preventing Yourself From Sneezing
Using Perfume
Using a smartphone before going to bed
Brushing your teeth right after eating
Using antibacterial soap often
Wearing tight jeans
Drinking freshly squeezed juice

Preventing Yourself From Sneezing

When we close our mouths and pinch our noses in an effort to prevent a sneeze, our intracranial pressure increases significantly. The blood flow to our brains is disrupted, and our blood vessels and nervous tissue are compressed. This can lead to headaches, damage to vessels, and even hearing problems. Never stop yourself from sneezing.

Using Perfume

Synthetic substances are often used to make perfume as they produce stronger scents and are cheaper than natural oils. These substances can cause dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. They also irritate the eyes, throat, and skin.

It’s a better idea to swap perfumes for essential oils or apply them only in a well-aired room. It is one of those everyday habits that are damaging.

Using a smartphone before going to bed

Artificial light at night suppresses the production of the hormone melatonin that regulates sleep and wakefulness. Low melatonin can result in depression, cancer, obesity, heart disease and a fragile immune system. Thus going to sleep early is a reasonable choice to improve your health.

Storing food in plastic containers

Many plastic boxes contain artificial chemical substances, such as phthalate and bisphenol, that help to maintain their flexibility. If kept for a long time in plastic boxes, such substances can seep into food. Imbibing them can have an effect on the endocrine system.

It’s much better to store food in containers made from glass, stainless steel, or ceramic material. Also, pay attention to the above symbols, as they provide useful information about how to use containers.

Brushing your teeth right after eating

Dentists have long recommended that you should brush your teeth at least 30 minutes after eating. If possible, an hour is even better. Food and drink — especially those which are highly acidic — have an effect on the enamel of the tooth as well as the layer below it (dentin). The movement of your toothbrush pushes the acid deeper and closer to the dentin. This can lead to extreme sensitivity and damage the enamel.

Using antibacterial soap often

Many useful bacteria live on the surface of our skin, playing a role in protecting our bodies. If we use antibacterial soap too often, we end up sterilizing our hands, which creates opportunities for harmful bacteria to enter our bodies. Dermatologists recommend using antibacterial soap for cuts, scratches and grazes. Don’t use it to wash your hands more than twice a week.

Wearing tight jeans

Although they may be fashionable, tight jeans constantly press on your skin and nerve endings. This causes a constant feeling of discomfort that can lead to problems with the nervous system.
It also reduces the flow of air to the legs and can cause itching and tingling, ultimately making the legs go numb.

Drinking freshly squeezed juice

Not everyone knows that freshly squeezed fruit juice is good for you only in small quantities. In the case of certain illnesses, juices can even cause serious harm to your body. For example, grape juice is not recommended for those who are overweight or who have diabetes. Moreover, juices are strong allergens. You should be careful about giving them to children: give them only small amounts, and, if possible, consult a doctor beforehand.
