We all want to live a long and healthy life. However, there are a lot of issues that bother all of us. daily habits We don’t even know about them but they are harmful for us HealthIn a recent report by The Sun, Dr Mayoni Gooneratne from Human Health spoke about some of the day-to-day habits that can impact our health. lifestyle. have a look:

being reminded

You may be in a snooze war with your alarm every day, but you should understand that this will not do you any good. It is important for you to get morning sunlight as it keeps you aligned with your natural body clock. It can help you fall asleep faster in the evening.

Coffee and Croissants

Are you tempted to have a croissant and coffee when you’re late for work? Speaking to the Sun, Lucy Jones, dietitian and chief clinical officer, said: “Eating in the car or in a hurry often leads to the wrong food choices.” Foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, such as croissants, spike blood sugar. This can lead to a drop in energy levels.

sit till late morning

If you haven’t had a chance to get up from your desk by 10-11 a.m., you’re heading for health problems. A sedentary lifestyle is the root cause of many health issues. Japanese researchers showed that participants who walked for more than an hour a day had a longer life expectancy than those who walked for less than an hour. Getting up from your desk and going for a brisk walk can also reduce stress levels.

Drinking after work

If you like to hit the bar after your usual shift, we have some bad news for you. Research carried out by Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands showed that those most likely to reach 90 were those who drank less than 15g of alcohol per day. Dr Gooneratne says: “Alcohol is a toxin and it stops your liver from breaking down your normal toxins, and they act as empty calories so they have no nutritional value. It distracts you from your normal behaviour so you’re more likely to make poor health choices and drink more alcohol.”

late night eating on the couch

Avoid the habit of eating on the sofa late at night, especially with takeaways. You should aim to eat meals at the table with your partner or children. This is so you can check in on each other. “Eating on the sofa in front of the TV does not allow for social engagement and is completely absent of attention,” says Dr Guneratne.
