If your heath is good then your mental health will be good and if your mental health is good then you can achieve big things too. So don’t take this small things lightly at all. Try to minimize those habits in your life which I am going to tell you.

Over Bathing

The first mistake people make has to do with taking a bath. You probably learned as a child that if you want to be clean, you should take a bath every day and that if you don't, people would make fun of you for being such a slob.

But is daily bathing really necessary?

Doctors have been debating this for a very long time, and the solution lies somewhere in the grey. By the way, if you work hard and sweat a lot or live in a dirty environment, oil from your skin frequently comes out.

This oil might harbor germs, which can lead to issues. So it is good for you to take a bath. If you are living a life where you don’t have to work a lot and don’t sweat a lot. You don’t go to work out and you live in a clean place. Then for such people, experts believe that you don’t need to take bath every day.

If they bathe every day, then this thing can also cause problems. Because if you over bath or take a bath for a long time, then your body’s essential oil start coming out. When they leave, your skin is dry.

Those who do not know, let me tell them that the largest organ of your body is your skin, this skin is so self-protective that it keeps away the bad bacteria and micro-organisms that can defeat you and doesn’t let them in.

But if you over bath and take bath for a long time then many times your skin starts releasing essential oil, your skin becomes dry and when it is dry then cracks come on it and inside the crack, if micro-organisms enter, then it can causes you problems.

 That’s why many dermatologists also say that too much bathing is not suitable for you. Taking a hot water bath for a long time is not suitable for you. The first wrong habit I would say is that take a bath in the limit.

Don’t do that even if you haven’t showered for weeks and if your life is such that you don’t get dirty and you don’t sweat, then it is also not right for you to bathe every day. So the first habit is that you should not over bathing.

Using Cotton Swabs

Another dirty habit is using cotton swabs. I have seen a lot many people use cotton swabs and put them in the ear. Whenever you talk with a doctor then they will always tell you that you should not use this thing too much.

Because somewhere you are using it instead of removing the dirt from your ear, you are pushing it. And if you do it vigorously, if you are itching in the ear, then if you do it even a little bit. There may be damage due to which you may also have problems because the inner area of your ear is very sensitive.

And if you do not know, then let me tell those who say that ear wax is very bad. Your ear wax is good thing which prevents bad things from penetrating inside your ear and protect against many other things. So removing it completely is not good thing, it can also damage the ear drum itself, and you may also have hearing loss, so stay away from it.

If you really want to clean it, then you can put 2-3 drops of olive oil in your ear. It may help you to remove the dirt from your ear.

Tooth Brushing 

The third mistake people make is related to brushing. The problem of dental health is such that it starts happening to people from childhood and it bothers people a lot. Many people, may face problems like cavity which gives a lot of pain.

Maintaining their health tooth is one of the most important thing for you which you must do. More than 6 million bacteria live in your mouth, and if you do not know, then let me tell you that your mouth is home to more than 700 species. According to a research, these bacteria release a lot of toxins in your brain as it makes a big difference to your mental health.

That’s why it is very important to keep your teeth clean, but many people do not do this thing well. Many people make this mistake that they do not take good care of their tooth, because of which they have a lot of problems after time and I have seen this thing many times in my relatives that they have to get root canal and many people have to get their teeth removed, and if the teeth fall out, they do not come back.

Because natural teeth cannot comeback. You can get artificial teeth but they will never be the same. So take care of your teeth and if they get damaged then you will be regressed and to do this you can start brushing time during the day.

Another mistakes that people make is that people brush aggressively and damage their gums and teeth due to which the sensitivity of the teeth increases. Therefore, do not brush your teeth too vigorously. You should use a soft brush, another thing is that you should not add too much toothpaste.

Because the toothpaste that you use off contains a lot of chemicals which are good for cleaning your teeth but if you use them more, then the good bacteria inside your mouth start dying and this will give you problems. Avoid mistakes so that you have good teeth’s, good smile and a good mood.

Not Cleaning Daily Used Objects 

The next mistake people makes is not cleaning daily used objects and it may even make them sick at times. According to the research of the Seattle Times, there are more than 25000 bacteria on the square inch of your phone, and if you do not clean these bacteria regularly then they start growing well.

When you put that phone on your mouth if you apply and use it with your hands, then those bacteria get transferred inside your body in some way or the other which can also make you sick and upset your stomach.

So start disinfecting the daily objects that you use occasionally. You can sanitize them and this thing can save you from many diseases.

Not Wearing Socks 

The fifth habit is not wearing socks. This habit is not only bad for you but more than that it hurts others. Nowadays such a trend has gone that many people have started wearing shoes without socks and roaming around like this.

When those people take off the shoes and come into the house or you go with them to someplace where you have to remove the shoes then we do not feel like living with such people. When you wear shoes, then definitely wear socks with them because if you do not wear socks then there will be no layer between your feet and your shoes.

This absorbs the sweat of your feet and if you do not wear the socks then dirt in your feet will start creating germs which start accumulating in your feet and gives a lot of smell due to this, fungal infections, and many diseases can also arise. So avoid making these mistakes for yourself and for others.

Not Washing Your hands Enough 

I don’t know how many times you must have heard this thing when CORONA was very much spread that you should wear a mask, wash your hands regularly, and maintain social distance.

 Why is there so much focus on hand washing?

Because our hand comes in contact with many different things. As long as things are micro-organisms of your body, they do not give you such problem many times but when you shake your hands with other people and touch mobile and a very common example has also been told on which research has also been done.

It shows that 90% of the people first wash their hands and after that touch the card whereas according to the experts, the menu card in the restaurant holds more than bacteria on the toilet seat, and after that people eat food.

Because of this eating food outside causes pain in the stomach. It is not necessary that the food was bad that’s why the stomach got upset, sometimes our hands are very dirty due to which our stomach gets upset.

 According to the fact, more than 90% of the diseases, you put in yourself through yourself. Therefore always inculcate the habit of washing hands in yourself.

Touching your Face Too Much 

This is the only habit related to the hand washing habit. Sometimes our hands are very dirty and despite that, we touch our face. You must see many times that people touch the nose again and again and keep putting their hands on the mouth and this thing is also not the right habit.

Repeated hand use can cause many skin problems. This might be acne and marks on the face, and like I already mentioned if bacteria gets inside your mouth in some way, they can make you sick too.

That’s why this is a bad habit that should be removed from your life and stop touching your face again and again.

Using Cotton Pillow cases 

This fact is quite shocking but the quality of your pillowcase affects the quality of your face skin a lot. If you use cotton pillows like most people, then research shows that you will start looking old soon.

 The cotton material makes your skin very dry and you start getting premature wrinkles. Many times it can damage your skin as well as your hair, so if you use silk material instead of cotton then it can help. So avoid this small mistake.

Using A Towel 

Most People clean their body with a towel after taking a bath. This towel is a breeding ground for bacteria, yeasts viruses due to which you are coming after taking a bath so well, but when you use the towel, all those bacteria and viruses come on your body due to which people have many diseases.

Therefore, do this thing, if possible, keep your towel separate and even if you are living it separately then wash the towel once every week. Always try to keep it dry. If all the people around you are sick or if you are sick, wash them as well as you keep your towels.

Clipping Your Nails 

Whenever our nails grow in a week, there is a common nail cutter, we start cutting our nails from our home itself, but this is also not a right habit. Because you don’t know how much dirt is in someone else hands and we bring the same dirt to us with the nail cutter.

Therefore this is also a small thing that you should do, if possible, keep a separate nail cutter of your own and if it is not possible then it does not matter. If you want to use, then you can use it by sanitizing. Start using it after cleaning it and clean it after use, so that the dirt does not get in the hands of others.

Also don’t cut you nails through your teeth, which result in bad bacteria can enter in you body and make you sick.

 

These were small bad habits that make you sick and had a bad effect on your health which could give you problem in long run. So start eliminating them.
