Did you
know?
Ten everyday habits that harm
your health.
1. Skipping
breakfast - This sends your body into starvation
mode
and slows down your metabolism.
2. Exercise
balance - No exercise is obviously bad, but too much
exercise (over training) can also be harmful to our bodies.
3. Getting
dehydrated - Increases heart rate and blood pressure.
4. Wearing the
wrong shoes for exercise - Choose the right shoe
for the
right sport or activity. Running shoes for running, tennis
shoes
for tennis, etc. Cross-training shoes are a good choice for a
variety
of sports including running short
distances.
5. Ignoring
stress - Everyone experiences it, but many of us ignore
it. Do something positive to help alleviate stress, like exercise,
massage
therapy, or meditation.
6.
Dieting - All diets do not work, period!
You should strive to
eat healthy
on a daily basis thus keeping your caloric intake in line
with your
caloric expenditure.
7. Relying on
pills, potions, or snake oils for your health -
Remember there is no quick fix or magic beans to help you get
into
shape. The easiest way to get into shape is to educate yourself
in the
areas of exercise and nutrition and apply what you learn to
yourself.
8. Eating fast
food - The typical fast food meal is high in fat
and high in calories over all. Both of which are not good for
us.
9. Sleeping too
little or too much - Too little sleep and are bodies
can get
run down leading to illness and injuries. Too much sleep
can
lead make us lethargic and depressed.
10. Not enough
fresh air - Staying indoors too much can not only
harm our lungs but
can make us claustrophobic. Try to get
outside and enjoy the fresh air once in a while.
