Getting stressed out
Sitting too much. Our bodies are not built for the insanely sedentary lives we live. Even many of us who are relatively active spend most of the day sitting at a desk at the office and then sitting on a couch/gaming chair/whatever all night
Not drinking enough water
Fuck up their sleep schedule.
Driving short distances, when you could just walk/bike
Anger.
A lot of people perform smaller maintenance works on their homes by themselves, as a hobby, or because it’s too expensive to hire a professional.
However, lots of homes, especially when they’re older, contain asbestos. Asbestos is difficult to recognize by the naked eye, and the “Do It Yourself”-people, often don’t wear proper protective clothing, when doing construction on their houses.
Exposure to asbestos can cause several types of deadly inflammations and cancer in the lungs. Not immediately, it takes years to develop, but even a short-term exposure of a day, can put you at risk.
Sleeping so little. Its actually terrible what a lack of proper rest and sleep do to the body and brain.
eating too much sugar
Work
Eating “healthy” food that are not actually healthy. If it needs to convince you it’s good for you, then you probably shouldn’t eat it. Diet foods/drinks aren’t helping you either.
Eaat sugar and processed food
Napping, sadly.
Some studies have suggested that taking long naps (more than 1 hour) can increase levels of inflammation, which is linked to heart disease and increased risk of death. Other research has also connected napping with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and anxiety. However, the researchers also found that long naps only increased the risk of death if the person slept more than six hours per night.
Smoking.
Drinking alcohol
eating meat, shooting guns, smoking weed, drinking beer, driving cars
Eat Taco Bell
Work overtime, don’t use your vacation days to relax, because boss says so.
Onanism
Not wearing their seatbelt/helmets.
Drinking
Being stationary too much and not enough movement and activity. So many problems slowly creep up on you.
Drinking alcohol
Freebase jumping
Date men.
I’ve heard that it’s fucking. That’s why monks and nuns live long apparently.
They don’t learn how their bodies work.
Do you understand how calcium bonds to your bones and what other nutrients are required for the process?
Or are you reading marketing material telling you it will help prevent osteoporosis?
Knowledge is power and you want a powerful life, learn not just one part of life learn all parts of life. Like nutritional uptake, sleep cycles and cognitive maintenance, it’s important to take care of the whole you.
Mind, body and consciousness
