These habits hurt us - without even suspecting!
Do you know that there are habits that are part of our daily lives, do not even think about doing them, but can be dangerous to health? Today we decided to tell you about them. Crossing the legs Talked about the damage of crossing the legs. Numerous studies have shown that this leads to varicose veins and nerve damage. Feeding of birds Feeding pigeons, for example in the park, poses serious dangers. Chances of having a contagious disease are more than 50%. The list is really long ... Just throw your crumbs the next time, but really stay away. Wearing fake sunglasses We have said before but will repeat - it's not a good idea to save money on sunglasses. They use cheap plastic that does not protect the eyes from UV rays. Drinking too much water Yeah, right! Drinking water is extremely important, but drinking too much water is not harmless. If you move a lot and exercise, drink more water, but if you have kidney or cardiovascular problems, it is better to drink less. Not the hot bottle as a medicine
Applying cold or hot to a painful place is one of the remedies we often resort to. However, in many diseases, the warmth is strictly forbidden. These include bleeding, acute inflammation of the abdomen and the first few hours and several days after sprains or injuries.
Popcorn in microwave
The danger here is in a chemical called diacetyl. It is a synthetic oil and flavor. It evaporates when heated, and when it enters the lungs it can damage them. You can reduce the risk to your lungs by letting the popcorn cool before you eat it.
Dining the desk
There are many reasons here - the smell of food can bother your colleagues, your brain needs rest, your legs want to move, and your stomach can not bend food because your brain is not just concentrating on it, it is distracting.
Open shoes in town
What are the risks? There is a good chance of an insect bite or cut on the street, and this can lead to infection.
Drinking low-fat milk
Milk with zero or close to zero fat does not come close even to ordinary milk in terms of utility. Many producers "strengthen" the milk with the addition of milk powder.
Sleeping on your stomach
Many of us prefer to sleep in this way. But it can lead to really serious health problems. Sleeping on the stomach is putting pressure on all your organs, ultimately leading to nerve damage and heart problems. The best option is to sleep on your back. The only time you need to avoid this condition is if you suffer from sleep apnea.

I couldn't agree with you more! I always suspected the popcorn thing, I mean I know almost everything done in the microwave is bad for our health but the popcorn in particular does seem to be kinda obvious judging by the smell. If you buy organic corn and do it yourself, it has almost no smell at all. Chemical much, huh?
Great post, it's good to know someone points out bad habits without falling into the same old same old. Steem on!
