Eight common health mistakes

We are not aware that some procedures damage our body.

Here are the eight most common health mistakes we make unconsciously:

1. Crossing of legs

Do you cross your legs above the knees when sitting? Although we believe that this is an elegant way that every lady should sit, sitting with crossed legs reduces circulation therein. If you do not want expanded (varicose) veins to tarnish the beauty of your feet and damage your health every time you realize you have one knee on top of the other, place the legs right.

The best way to sit is simply placing both feet together on the floor, which equally balance the weight. If you feel that you have to change the position, rather than crossed, simply place your feet together on the other side.

Alternatively, it can be loosely cross the leg at the joints. This is a classic and elegant way to sit, and is much better for your legs and your health than sitting with legs crossed at the knees.

2. Rare changing of the toothbrush

How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the hair fall or are in such bad shape, that we would be ashamed to show our brush in public. However, since usually there is no need of showing our brush in public, we continue to use the old one for a long time.

Change the toothbrush often. Damaged fiber damage enamel and gums. Use a brush with softer hair, if your dentist advises you differently.

3. Often dining in restaurants

There are fats that are harmful, and some that are not. No matter how less harmful, it is not good the idea to use it in large amounts. Increased intake of dietary fat damages cardiovascular system.

Avoid fried foods. Avoid eating in restaurants that use large amounts of oil for food preparation. Eat only in restaurants that serve light and healthy food.

4. Skip Breakfast

Never avoid breakfast. Recall that when you wake up in the morning you spent 10 -12 hours from the last meal. Your body then needs food more than ever.

Eat abundantly for breakfast. All day you're busy at work so calories will be quickly spend.

Skipping breakfast often leads to overeating during the next meal. If you are on a diet to lose weight have light dinner, but do not skip breakfast.

5. High Heels

It is true that high heels look great, but they are harmful to the back. This however does not mean that you should run away from high heels as the devil. Wear them, but avoid them when you know you have to walk or stand for a long time.

Wear them when you exit for the lunch or dinner, when the only movement that you will perform is that from your car and back to the table. Avoid them when you need to walk.

Invest in a nice new pair of low shoes or shoes with low heels. Shoes you will enjoy to wear. If possible, purchase and purse that matches them and then you will enjoy your low shoes more than you think.

6. Sleeping on a soft bed

Although the thought of "sinking " in a soft bed at first glance looks very warm, it is harmful to the back. It does not mean you have to sleep on the floor to be sympathetic to your back, but make sure to sleep on confirmation bed.

If your bed is old and boards are distributed, take a new one and your neck and your back will be grateful.

The same rule applies to the sofa. If you spend hours sitting on your sofa, make sure that it is firm and comfortable. Soft sofas are not the best idea.

7. Pillows

No matter how it look comfortably to sleep on ten pillows, have mercy on your neck and deny that idea. Such sleep damages the neck and spine.

Sleep on a pillow that is not very high. Get low pillow if you sleep on your stomach and slightly higher if you sleep on your back, to offer adequate support of the neck.

8. Avoiding exercise

So, we all know you need to practice more, but few of us actually practice. This is a health mistake we consciously make!

Why is this so? Simply we refuse to admit the damage we cause to our bodies with physical inactivity. Many people are beginning to practice only when you experience a warning signal. Do not wait to have a heart attack before you decide to change your lifestyle. Don't wait, do it now.

You do not have to prepare for participation in the marathon to be in top form. Half hour walk, 3-4 times a week will make a huge difference in your health. Then do it more often, 40 minutes, four times a week. If you are physically inactive for a week, you are making a mistake.
