Now, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to health, and the middle-aged and elderly groups, and even the post-00 and post-0 generations have also begun to embark on the road of no return to "health preservation".

It is customary to brew wolfberry tea, boil some health porridge, prolong life with three meals of health care products, and walk tens of thousands of steps a day to exercise......

But are these seemingly healthy habits really healthy? Maybe these "good habits" that are considered healthy are quietly harming your body and making it worse and worse. After reading it, I advise you to change it quickly!

Habit 1: Eat too delicately and too full

Whether it is rice, steamed bread, meat, eggs, milk, or fruits, excessive intake is not conducive to good health. Eating too delicately and too much can lead to overweight/obesity, which greatly increases the risk of diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cardiovascular, and fatty liver.

Correct Practice:

Proper diet is an important measure to prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer. More than half of all cancers are related to dietary factors.

In your daily diet, you should eat a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, whole grains and fish. Ensure the intake of high-quality protein and avoid excessive intake of cholesterol and fat.

Habit 2: Long-term Tea

Drinking tea, especially green tea, is good for your health. It can reduce the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer, improve glucose and lipid metabolism, and promote cardiovascular health. In addition, drinking tea regularly can also prevent oral diseases and reduce tooth decay.

However, the stronger the tea, the better. Because tea contains caffeine and theophylline, if you drink too much for a long time, it may cause symptoms such as premature heart beats and increased heart rate. Drinking a lot of strong tea, the tannic acid in the tea can also hinder the absorption of iron.

Correct Practice:

The concentration of tea should be moderate, the elderly should drink tea more lightly, and teenagers should not drink tea. It is best not to drink tea on an empty stomach, drinking tea on an empty stomach will affect digestion and inhibit the secretion of gastric juice.

Different seasons are suitable for drinking different teas. In spring and summer, the temperature is high, so it is advisable to drink green tea and oolong tea to clear away heat and relieve heat. In the autumn and winter when the temperature is relatively cold, it is best to drink some warm black tea and Pu'er tea.

Habit 3: Eat health supplements indiscriminately

Multivitamins and mineral supplements do not protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc. For most people, indiscriminate consumption of supplements is not only not beneficial to the body, but may also increase the burden on the liver and kidneys.

Correct Practice:

There are some groups of people who can take multivitamin and mineral supplements under the guidance of their doctor.

For example, people who are severely picky eaters, vegetarians, people who cannot achieve balanced nutrition due to objective conditions (such as Antarctic expedition team members, people who work in the plateau), women who are trying to conceive or pregnant women, are prone to certain nutrient deficiencies.

Habit 4: Disinfect underwear every day

Underwear is easy to breed bacteria, some people pay attention to hygiene, so they choose to wash their underwear with disinfectant every day, but improper disinfection may cause chemical residues, threatening health. If possible, the cleaned underwear can be dried in the sun, which can play a role in disinfection and sterilization.

Correct Practice:

Hand wash separately. Some people use the washing machine to wash their underwear in order to save trouble, which is not advisable. There are a large number of bacteria in the washing machine itself, which is easy to cause secondary pollution.

Use alkaline cleaning products. The soap used to wash underwear should be distinguished from ordinary soap to avoid contamination.

Rub carefully. When washing underwear, rub vigorously and carefully for 5-0 minutes to allow the soap to fully contact the bacteria to ensure that the underwear is clean.

Rinse thoroughly with running water.

Habit 5: Drink more porridge and soup

When drinking porridge, because there is no need to go through frequent teeth chewing and stomach peristalsis, over time, the digestion ability of the stomach will gradually weaken. People with excessive stomach acid, stomach flatulence, and chronic gastritis may aggravate the discomfort by drinking too much porridge. Porridge has a high glycemic index, and diabetics can cause large fluctuations in blood sugar after drinking porridge.

Even after a long period of boiling, most of the high-quality proteins, vitamins and trace elements in the soup are still in the raw materials and cannot be dissolved into the soup. The soup contains the most fats and purines. The longer it is boiled, the more fat it gets. Therefore, drinking thick soup is not only easy to consume too much salt, but if you drink pig's trotter soup, pork rib soup, and sweet soup, it is also easy to gain weight due to its high calories.

Tips:

The soup is delicious, but in moderation. For patients with high blood pressure, gout, gallbladder disease, and people with a lot of stomach acid, it is even more important to drink thick soup.

Habit 6: Sleep on a hard bed

If the bed is too hard, the muscles cannot be effectively relaxed, and the spine is in a state of straightness and stiffness. If the bed is too hard, it is easy to make the peripheral circulation poor, which is not conducive to the recovery of physical strength and energy, and it is also not good for patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Tips:

The mattress has many advantages of moderate hardness and softness, which can not only smooth blood circulation, reduce nerve compression, but also prevent muscle strain.

Habit 7: Ten thousand steps a day

In general, there is no damage to the knee from normal walking. Walking properly can exercise muscles and regulate knee function. However, walking for too long, especially in overweight, obese and elderly people, will cause damage to the cartilage and meniscus inside the knee joint.

Tips:

Warm up before exercising, and don't stop immediately after exercising, but gradually slow down. People with underlying medical conditions need to be evaluated by a doctor before exercising.
