Default Regular Health Mistakes - (Good Tips)

Nice to follow


a bit long....and probably know already...but useful to refresh....cheers . ..........

Regular Health Mistakes


All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies
in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing
something wrong.

Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

Crossing our legs

Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting?

Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to
sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs.

If you don’t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and
compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realize you
have one knee on top of the other.

The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the
floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing
position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs
together to one side.

As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely
at the ankles.

This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your
legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your
knees.



Not changing our toothbrush

How often do you change your 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. Replace your
toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t
massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I
do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right.

Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a
day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you
clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your
dentist has advised otherwise.



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.

Remember that in all probability your favorite Indian food restaurant
throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal.

Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when
she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half
into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking
their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy
afterwards.

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.


Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and
making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.



High heels


High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back.

This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear
them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear
them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you
will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high
heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly
tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there
something about them you dislike?

Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel.
Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get
a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do
your heels.


Sleeping on a soft bed

You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do
make sure you have a firm mattress. 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. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule
applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a
firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the
best idea.


Pillows

No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on
your neck and resist. 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, to give your neck adequate support.


Not exercising

So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This
is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply
because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by
not working out. A number of people only start working out once
they've experienced a warning signal.

Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for
a lifestyle change.

Make the change now.

You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an
hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of
difference to your health.

You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week -
and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're
making a mistake.


Today's Message of the Day is:


Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love
truly. Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you
smile.
