Health Mistake That People Do

Crossing our legs when sitting

This can actually do harm to our health. The varicose veins will mar the beauty of our legs and compromise our health. So, people,.. Stop sitting with your leg cross (I'm saying this to myself as well)

Not changing our toothbrush

Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well.

Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.

Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner.

High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. Wear them only when having short walk such as to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot.

Sleeping on a soft bed
Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one.

Pillows
Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back.

Not exercising
Like many of my posting here, exercise is a very important item for us. Must go exercise!!! If you don't, you will only risking yourself into heart disease. Don't wait until there is signal of NOT OK!! Go now! Take a brisk walk or jogging or whatever that you like. Exercise makes us healthy!
