Healthy body is what everyone pursues, but with the increasing pace of life, some people, especially women, are under great work and life pressure, leading to a sub-healthy state and hindering their physical health. There are four bad habits that harm women's health and must be corrected in time!
First, skipping meals and eating only when feeling hungry.
Many women skip breakfast or delay meals in order to lose weight. However, this is incorrect. Food can be completely emptied from the stomach in about 5 hours. When feeling hungry, gastric juices will digest the stomach lining, leading to gastric ulcers and other stomach diseases. It is necessary to have three regular meals a day, eat lightly, eat only until 70% full, and chew food slowly.
Second, only trying to lose weight when the body is obese.
The main cause of obesity is excessive nutrition intake, too much energy intake, and lack of exercise. Obesity will lead to various diseases such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, active weight loss is necessary by controlling diet, maintaining moderate exercise, rather than blindly choosing dieting or weight loss pills.
Third, only drinking water when feeling thirsty. Some women consciously control their water intake due to concerns about water retention. However, water plays a crucial role in the body and helps maintain the basal metabolic rate. When feeling thirsty, it means that the cells are seriously dehydrated. Prolonged dehydration can cause constipation and urinary stones. At least 2500 milliliters of water intake should be ensured every day, with small amounts multiple times, about 200 milliliters each time, to avoid excessive water intake.
Fourth, only sleeping when feeling sleepy. About 30% of life is spent in the sleep process, which is a natural law and a physiological process in metabolism. Good sleep is essential to maintain the regular functioning of the biological clock. At least 7 hours of sleep per day should be ensured. Staying up late all the time and not sleeping when not feeling sleepy can consume brain cells, leading to insomnia and nervousness, which is detrimental to physical health.
In conclusion, women should adopt healthy habits such as hand hygiene before and after meals, eating clean and reducing dining out, avoiding the use of panty liners, removing bras when sleeping to reduce pressure on the chest and improve blood circulation and breathing. It is also important to engage in aerobic exercises for at least 30 minutes, such as yoga, running, and swimming.
