It seems that there are no people in the modern world who do not know about the harmful effects of bad habits on their health. Everyone is well informed about the negative effects of smoking, alcohol, and drugs. But at the same time, there are still a lot of common everyday activities that also cause significant damage to the body. The consequences appear after some time and that is why people do not think that it is necessary to get rid of these habits.
Each person has his own individual set of certain behavioral habits, which may not cause significant harm, but at the same time stress the person and his loved ones. Someone is constantly snapping their fingers, and someone checks that the electrical appliances are turned off several times before leaving the house. Others are regularly late for meetings for no reason. But there are habits that it is desirable to get rid of in order not to get a health problem over time.
The habit of sitting cross-legged
Many people sit cross-legged. It seems to be convenient and at least not harmful. In fact, this way of sitting is very harmful, first of all, for the spine because it changes its natural physiological position. People are used to the fact that the spine allows us to bend as we please. Therefore, they do not think about whether such a position is useful for this organ, until they receive a signal in the form of pain in response. In this position, the lumbar spine, instead of its natural physiological state, bends back and turns slightly to the side, while the muscles of the lumbar spine relax. When sitting for a long time, this posture causes blood circulation disorders, dystrophic processes in this part of the back and the development of spinal disc herniation.
As for the legs, there are venous vessels and nerves in the popliteal fossa. This neurovascular bundle is pressed by the knee of the other leg through a thin layer of skin and subcutaneous tissue, which leads to deterioration of venous blood circulation, microcirculation disturbance, pastiness and swelling of the limb. These processes contribute to venous stasis and the development of varicose veins. If you notice the symptoms of this disease, you should visit your family doctor and use such drugs as Thrombophob Gel and Daflon.
Therefore, do not sit in this position; it causes diseases of the back and legs!
The habit of listening to music in headphones
We see people wearing headphones of various sizes and shapes in the modern world all the time. What to do if the journey takes 2-3 hours? Many people choose to pass the time by listening to an audio book or music. The human organ of hearing, like other organs, is unique. It consists of several structures that perform different functions so that a person can hear sounds. All parts of the ear are a complex instrument, the cells of which die irreversibly due to the negative impact of loud sound, especially against the background of traffic noise. These cells never regenerate!
