Some lifestyle habits may be harming your health.πŸ’«πŸ’«πŸ’«

Healthy lifestyle habits are of course good for your health. However, if some details are wrong, healthy habits may become unhealthy. In the long run, it may harm your body. Especially when the weather is cold, some comforting habits may be unhealthy habits.

Drink less or do not drink of these things.

1. Overheated drinks.

When the weather is cold in winter, many people will like to drink hot drinks, such as hot water, hot tea and hot coffee. Although hot drinks can warm your body, overheated drinks can actually be bad for your body. If a person frequently drinks overheated beverages, it can repeatedly burn the mucous membranes of the mouth and digestive tract. These mucous membranes undergo repeated processes of injury and recovery. During this process, more and more abnormal mucosal cells may be generated. It increases the risk of developing esophageal cancer. 

Studies have shown that hot drinks at 65 to 75 degrees can scald the throat and may cause esophageal cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has also defined hot drinks over 65 degrees as a Category 2A carcinogen. Therefore, we should not drink beverages above 65 degrees. But we can't use a thermometer to measure the temperature every time. It is recommended that we drink a small amount of beverages first. If you don't feel hot and you can drink it directly, then the temperature is more suitable. If you feels too hot, you should let the beverage cool down a little bit before drinking it.

2. Double-boiled soup.

In Chinese society or in Asia, many people would like to eat double-boiled soup. It is known for its deliciousness and health benefits. However, you should also be careful not to eat the soup when it is too hot. And not everyone can eat double-boiled soup. Double-boiled soup takes a long time to cook for it to taste good. But the longer the soup is cooked, the higher the purine and nitrite content in the soup. Purines may increase uric acid in the body and induce gout. Nitrite has also been linked to cancer. If you eat soup for a long time or in large quantities, the kidneys may not be able to metabolize all of them, and then induce renal failure. Double-boiled soup generally has meat, and the fat content is not less. The disadvantages of fat are believed to be needless to say. 

It is generally not recommended to cook meat soup for more than 2 hours, and it is best to control it to about 1 hour. Fish soup should be within 1 hour. When you eat soup, you should also eat residual from soup, which is also very nutritious. Patients with gout, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, poor stomach and kidney function, obesity, etc. should eat less double-boiled soup.

3. Strong tea.

Some people will enjoy drinking strong tea to help remove oil and refresh themselves. But in fact, strong tea is harmful to the body. Strong tea contains a lot of tea polyphenols. It causes calcium loss in the body. It can harm bones. There is also a lot of oxalic acid in strong tea. Oxalic acid can form stones with calcium in the urinary tract, which can easily lead to kidney stones. Strong tea contains a lot of theophylline and caffeine. They stimulate the secretion of stomach acid. This can easily damage the gastric mucosa and induce gastritis and gastric ulcers. Caffeine also stimulates the nervous system. It can lead to palpitations and arrhythmia by causing increased blood flow and heart rate.

Strong tea generally refers to about 3 grams of tea leaves per 150ml of water. It is generally darker in color and more bitter in taste.

Bad sleeping habits.

Besides going to bed late, there are some bad sleep habits that are not good for your body.

1. Sleep after eating.

Some people prefer to lie down or sleep directly after eating. It can lead to proneness to acid reflux. Stomach acid is very corrosive. When it backs up into the esophagus and throat, it can harm them.

2. The blanket covers the head.

Some people like to sleep with the blanket over their heads. This could be because it's too cold or feels more safety. But doing it may affect the quality of sleep and seriously cause hypoxia. So, if the reason is too cold, you can consider adding an extra blanket. If you feel unsafety, maybe you can try to hugging something to sleep.

3. Sleep curled up.

When it's cold, some people find the bed and blanket too cold, so they curl up to sleep. You may feel stiffness and muscle aches when you wake up. Because when they slept curled up, they stayed in that position all night. The muscles will remain in a tight state, and the cold weather may make the muscles in a tighter state. 

Therefore, when the weather is too cold, you can add an extra blanket or use a heater. This can improve the quality of sleep.

Bad bathing habits.

1. The water temperature is too hot.

Some people will like to take a very hot bath in the winter. In winter, human skin can be very dry. If the water is too hot, it will flush more oil from the surface of the skin. The skin becomes overly dry, itchy and cracked. Too hot water can also increase the dilation of blood vessels near the skin. Blood will flow more to the skin. It reduces blood supply to vital organs such as the brain and heart. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are more likely to develop ischemia.

Therefore, the water temperature should not be too hot when bathing.

2. The bathroom is poorly ventilated.

If the bathroom is poorly ventilated, this can result in too little oxygen in the bathroom. If the bathing time is too long, it may cause a coma due to lack of oxygen. This kind of news comes out every year. So make sure the bathroom is well ventilated.

3. Take a shower after drinking.

Some people go to the shower immediately after drinking. They may want to take a bath to remove the smell of alcohol or to refresh themselves. However, bathing will speed up blood circulation and increase energy consumption. Glucose consumption also increases and may cause hypoglycemia. The ethanol in alcohol reduces the storage of glucose in the body. Therefore, bathing immediately after drinking alcohol increases the chance of coma.
