Temptations To Avoid For Good Health

Temptation has always been luring on humankind right from the time God made humans. It started with Eve eating the forbidden fruit and it never stopped.

Temptation usually has some sort of consequence, which differs in magnitude. Today, Dr. K.M. Sunesara - General Physician, Mumbai, shares some temptations, which you should definitely avoid to lead a healthy and fit life.


Hooking to smoke



If you want to celebrate your birthday or your success then celebrate it without lighting even a single cigar. Smoking or being in a smoky area, can be very disastrous to your health. Dr. Sunesara says - smoking even a single cigarette a day, can cause blood clots, which may prevent swift flow of the blood and hence develop plaque in your arteries and blood vessels.

Sleeping without cleaning your teeth



It is one of the most common things all of us do, after a tiring day at work. Most of just dine, sit and hop on our bed to snooze. Folks avoid this habit, sleeping without brushing your teeth can build a party time for bacteria's when you sleep, which can lead to gum infection and tooth decay.

Touching your skin constantly



We all love to look great and thus constantly keep on touching our face after regular intervals. If you notice acne on your face, stop pricking it again and again. Touching your face constantly will just ruin the skin condition and will worsen the condition. Besides it will lead to scars and inflammation. Hence, stop picking at your face to avoid worsening skin issues.

Eating junk for meal



Eating junk once in a week, won't blast on your waistline, but eating junk every single day of the week, will do all bad for you, because they are rich in trans fat, sugar, spices and artificial preservatives. As fast food is rich in bad fat, it raises the bad cholesterol in the body and leads to the hardening of the arteries, which can further cause plaque deposits.

Making TV your sole-friend



Sitting for hours on the couch, watching that idiot box can put your heart and eyes at risk. Watching too much TV can put you at an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and obesity. The more you are glued to the TV, the more immobile life will affect your levels of fat and sugar in your blood. Besides, it also strains your eyes and causes damage to the refractive lens. To minimise the risk, keep moving around the house, during the breaks to be active.

Sleeping late



Many of us, burn the midnight oil for exam preparations and work. But if this becomes routine, you will damage your body in the long run. Without 6-8 hours of good sleep, you are damaging your immune system and other body processes and systems. Due to lack of sleep, your immune system becomes weak and thus produces fewer 'germ fighters' - lowering your tolerance for withstanding common bugs in your environment. A good night's sleep also helps you stay awake and fresh throughout the day.

'Music' all the way



Music is the sole companion for some of us throughout the day. We listen to music to pass time, while travelling or while working out. But, if you have plugged in for hours, with no breaks, then you need to keep this temptation under check. Dr. Vihang says - listening to loud music via earphones, can cause hearing loss.

Loving heels



Women who wear heels on a daily basis, do lots of harm to their bodies. Dr. Tina Mahendraker - Physiotherapist, Mumbai says - high heels can affect your posture, put pressure on joints - which can cause arthritis, back pain and tendon injuries and other heels related accidents. Thus to prevent such horrible effects on your health Dr. Tina says - limit your heels to not more than 1.5 inches, and wear insoles to reduce the pressure on your joints.

Making food your buddy



Many of us tend to eat due to temptation. Temptation eating can disrupt your regular eating pattern, then your body will no longer send hunger signals and you may end up eating even when you are full. This extra eating can flood your body with extra calories and unhealthy ingredients, which can further cause serious chronic health problems like diabetes, heart problems and acidity.

Pop a pill to save your day



If you pop a pill for regular headaches, menstrual cramps or normal tummy trouble then you need to stop now. Constant pill popping is an extremely harmful habit that will put your health at stake. Hence, always check with your doctor, before popping any pill.

Avoiding breakfast



Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - says Ms. Eileen - Nutritionist, Mumbai. If your entire breakfast comprises one cup of rushed coffee and a toast, then you're setting yourself up for an unhealthy future. This will affect your digestive system. Besides, it will also harm your energy reserves and negatively affect your metabolism.

Skipping your workout



Take a break from your exercise regime once in a while, but missing it always is a different story altogether. Try to not skip your workout as far as possible, unless the reason behind it is something serious.

Addicted to sweets



Having a fetish to crave your desire to sweet everyday can spike your blood sugar drastically. This can cause overproduction of insulin in the body, and leave you hungry. Thus, prefer to eat sweets occasionally.

Being lonely



Some of us like to be isolated from the world, thus we break all bondages and be alone. Loneliness is very bad for your mind, as it will affect your immune system and put you at several health risks. If you spend most of your time obsessing over your loneliness, and any other social challenges, or whatever could cause feelings of despair and frustration, then you are harming your mental health, detaching yourself from people, and stressing your mind and body.
