Some people engage in bad habits in their daily lives, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but some of these things or daily activities that we do routinely may harm our bodies and can pose health risks, and here are some of those habits:
Exfoliate your skin every day
Skin care is currently experiencing its golden age, with men, women and even teens having their own personal routine. More often than not, people try to get glowing skin using facials and exfoliators, according to a report in Bright side time.
Dermatologists reveal that exfoliating your skin is recommended at least once a week, as our skin is prone to dryness and sensitivity over time. If you have oily skin, it is recommended to wash your face 3 times a week.
Brushing your teeth more than 3 times a day
There is no harm in keeping your teeth clean and shiny pearly white. However, frequent brushing of the teeth can be a cause of bleeding and fragile gums, which eventually leads to gum disease and other oral health problems. Two minutes is all it takes to get that sparkling smile.
Eating in plastic bowls
Eating food in plastic containers carries a risk of dangerous chemicals coming into contact with foods and drinks. Plastic degrades into “microplastic particles” that are harmful to humans because they are very small plastic particles that can enter the bloodstream.
Use hand sanitizer
Some commercials advertise that sanitizers kill 99.9% of the germs on your hands, and that’s partly true. But the frequent use of hand sanitizers has a greater effect than fighting the usual bacteria. It can cause dry skin, or antibiotic resistance: the antibiotics can no longer work.
Sleeping on your favorite pillow
We all have that special pillow we like to use at bedtime. And sometimes, due to our convenience in using it, we often forget to put it in the wash to clean it. Dirty pillows can be home to dust mites that cause allergies.
Freshen up with some deodorant
Work and daily activities require our renewed attention. This is why we turn to antiperspirants to eliminate sweat and help us feel rejuvenated and fresh all day long. But that has a problem: Deodorants often contain chemicals that cause allergic reactions.
So it’s best to get a quick shower.
Save your receipts
While it’s highly recommended that you keep track of your expenses, recent receipts on “thermal paper” actually contain a harmful chemical that is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, bisphenol A.
Keeping your home clean every day
Keeping your home spotless almost every day can earn you the nickname “eccentric.” But aside from getting rid of germs and clutter, daily use of household cleaning supplies can put your lungs and skin at risk over time.
