As the saying goes, habits become nature. Good living habits can inject new energy into health, otherwise, they will bring certain damage to health. Today, Xiaobian will take stock of some bad habits harmful to your health. If you have also committed them, you must pay attention to them and change them!
1. Long term sleep deprivation
Long term lack of sleep is easy to cause hypertension, heart disease, stroke, obesity and other health problems. Studies have found that the increase in mortality caused by insufficient sleep of 6-7 hours per night is equivalent to that caused by smoking. In addition, lack of deep sleep and circadian rhythm disorder will also accelerate the growth of tumors. It is suggested that adequate sleep of 7-8 hours per day is vital to health.
2. Sit all day
Sitting in the office or in the car for a long time will bring a variety of health diseases, and even regular exercise can not offset the harm of sitting for a long time. Experts suggest that we should develop the habit of getting up and walking regularly at work and exercise more at home.
3. Do not turn on the range hood when using the gas stove
A new study found that poor ventilation when using gas stoves will cause indoor carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde to seriously exceed the standard. These three pollutants are very common in second-hand smoke. Experts said that as long as the gas stove is used, the range hood should be turned on, regardless of frying and cooking, which can reduce pollution by 60% ~ 90%.
4. Eating too much meat
Animal protein contains growth hormone IGF-1, which can promote the growth of tumor cells. A new study has found that people who consume a large amount of animal protein in middle age will have a cancer mortality rate four times higher than their peers in the future, but it will not hurt people over 65. Experts suggest that some animal proteins should be replaced by vegetable proteins such as beans. Middle aged people should supplement protein according to their body weight every day and 0.8g every 2 pounds (0.9kg).
5. High temperature fried food
A number of studies have shown that too high a temperature of edible oil will produce acrolein and a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This kind of carcinogen also exists in cigarettes, which is easy to cause respiratory inflammation. Experts suggest using more olive oil and avoiding too high oil temperature when cooking.
