The older we get, the longer we spend sitting. Sitting in a chair and working, at home, sitting on the sofa and watching TV, or lying down and using a smartphone. They eat hastily on the excuse of being busy, rely on caffeine, and continue to lack sleep. Accumulated trivial habits can adversely affect middle-aged health. I need to exercise right now, but first, let’s look at 7 bad habits to avoid in life.

◆ Sitting all day
After working in a chair all day, I even sit on the sofa when I get home and watch TV. The longer you spend sedentary life, the higher the risk of cancer, diabetes, and blood clots, and the lower your concentration and productivity. It would be nice to start exercising right away, but small changes in daily life are also important. Walk a little more during commuting or lunchtime, or try to stand and move while watching TV and reduce the amount of time sitting down as much as possible.
◆ not getting enough sleep
Sustained sleep deprivation leads to several diseases such as high blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, depression, heart disease and obesity. In addition, if you do not sleep properly at night, various functions of the brain fall and work efficiency is also reduced. Cut down on caffeinated beverages and alcohol, and increase your sleeping time as much as possible. Regular and appropriate sleep cycles must be maintained steadily to recharge the brain and body and recover from fatigue.
◆ Hurry up to eat
Office workers who have to work busy often eat in a hurry without savoring the taste even when they are eating. Eating quickly under stress has a negative effect on the digestive system. If you eat quickly without thinking, you will overeat, cause weight gain, and put stress on your digestive system. It is good for digestion and health if you eat slowly while savoring the taste.

◆ I look at the screen all day
Smartphones, computers, and TV screens emit short-wavelength, high-output light, which can harm health. These lights can cause macular degeneration, which can cause severe vision loss. It can also cause dry eyes along with eye fatigue. When staring at a screen, you should give your eyes 2-3 minutes of rest about every 20 minutes. You should drastically reduce the amount of time you look at the screen each day to slow down vision loss and presbyopia.
◆ Using a smartphone in bad posture
When using a smartphone, there are many cases in which the head is lowered and the posture is slouched. This puts serious stress on the neck discs, ligaments and bones. It is good to touch the screen with the other hand while setting the screen at eye level and lightly pulling the chin toward the body, and placing the elbow on the desk in a posture where the waist is straight. Also, after using a smartphone for an hour, you should take a break and stretch your neck and shoulders.
◆ Drink coffee often in the morning
According to related studies, caffeine in coffee stimulates metabolism, reduces the risk of developing diabetes and prevents premature death. However, drinking coffee when you need to pee in the morning is something to think about. Our body dehydrates while we sleep. Therefore, drinking coffee as soon as you wake up can exacerbate dehydration symptoms. Drinking a few glasses of water before drinking coffee is good for your health.
◆ Poor toothbrush hygiene
If you don’t keep your toothbrush clean, it can make your mouth full of bad germs. Particularly if the toothbrush is placed near the toilet bowl, fine particles may contaminate the toothbrush. Keep your toothbrush in a place where germs and fine particles do not stick to it, and replace your toothbrush at least once every 3-4 months.
