Habits That Aren’t As Harmless As You Might Think.
What suffers: the respiratory system, blood vessels, and brain, and in the worst-case scenario, the esophagus.The main function of sneezing is to get rid of bacteria, viruses, and dust particles. When you stifle your sneeze, you don’t let the body remove these things. But that’s not all. Imagine what can happen if you try to shoot and close the barrel. The same happens inside your nose — the entire power of the sneeze goes back and can hurt your hearing, increase blood pressure, and even damage your esophagus.
What suffers: the gums. Dentists don’t like toothpicks. They are quite harmless to the enamel but the gums are in danger. And it is almost impossible to clean your mouth with a toothpick. In order to keep your mouth clean, use dental floss (but you should learn how to do it correctly first).
Sleeping on the pillow face down.
What suffers: your breathing, blood circulation, spinal cord, and facial skin. It’s comfortable but harmful to sleep on your pillow face down. In this position, breathing is hard, the neck is in an unnatural position, blood circulation becomes worse, and the neck vertebrae are in danger. Besides, doctors warn that the wrinkles you might have after sleeping in this position will soon become constant — they won’t ever disappear!
Shelling seeds with your teeth.
What suffers: the teeth and gallbladder. Sunflower seeds are tasty and useful. But they should be shelled with the hands and never with your teeth. Dentists always recognize experienced seed eaters by very specific tooth damage. People who have gallbladder problems shouldn’t eat them at all, and their caloric value is more than 500 kcal in 100 grams.
Chewing on something solid
What suffers: the teeth, gums, and mouth. People who love chewing on pens, pencils, paperclips, and other solid objects usually have huge enamel problems. This is also why you shouldn’t try to open bottles, chew nuts, ice cubes, and lollipops. More than that, you can get an infection if you do this.
Postponing going to the bathroom
What suffers: the kidneys, urinary system, and intestine. In June 2018, a young gamer from Great Britain was hospitalized after he spent 8 hours playing a game without taking any pauses. His intestines and bladder were so bloated that doctors thought he had a cancer tumor. All doctors agree: you shouldn’t keep it in because if you do, you might injure your muscles which can lead to having a urinary tract infection and constipation.
Washing your hair with hot water
What suffers: the brain vessels and scalp. If you love taking a shower in very hot water, it’s high time you stopped doing so. Firstly, it can cause a really bad headache and dizziness. And secondly, hot water stimulates the function of the sebaceous glands on the scalp which make the hair really dirty.
Touching your face and rubbing your eyes.
What suffers: the skin and eyes. If you touch your face with your hands often, you can get a whole catalog of different infections like acne, herpes and many more. If you rub your eyes, you can get conjunctivitis which is a really unpleasant infectious disease that involves inflammation, tearing, burning, and light sensitivity.
