Many People have problem with there health. They think there taking rest, eating properly then also they are suffering from health problem. Here is the solution
This Habits You have to Change in your day to day life.
1. You cross your legs
Sitting with legs crossed at the knee can bump up blood pressure, according to a study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring. Leg crossing increased systolic blood pressure nearly 7% and diastolic by 2%. "Frequent crossing of the legs also puts stress on the hip joints and can cause pooling of blood in the legs when the veins are compressed," says Stephen T. Sinatra, MD, FACC, a Connecticut-based cardiologist and author of The Great Cholesterol Myth.
2. You stand with locked knees
It may feel easier to stand with your knees locked, but it increases stress on the knee joint. "All of our joints are stabilized by activation of the surrounding muscles.
3. You sleep on your stomach
Snoozing on your stomach puts your neck in a tilted-back position, which can lead to pain or numbness in your upper extremities, says Richard Lee, MD, a spine surgeon at Hoag Orthopedic Institute.
4. You wear your belts tight
A tight belt may cinch your waist, but it can backfire on you in the form of digestive issues: Your snug belt creates intra-abdominal pressure, which can result in acid reflux (GERD), says Patrick Takahashi, MD, chief of gastroenterology at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles.
5. You slouch
Slouching can lead to shoulder pain or impingement when the rotator cuff muscles (shoulder stabilizers) become compressed against the shoulder blade, says David Geier, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Charleston, South Carolina.
6. You drive long distances without a break
Motoring for many miles without stopping can have a similar effect to crossing your legs, where you get blood pooling in the legs that can lead to clotting.
7. You stretch as soon as you get up
Back stretches first thing in the morning can put the discs in your back at risk, says Ted Dreisinger, PhD, FACSM, researcher and managing partner with Therapy Advisors, consultants specializing in the treatment of chronic back and neck pain.
8. You hold off on using the restroom when nature calls
If you delay using the bathroom for prolonged periods of time, you may be putting yourself at risk for developing urinary tract infections.
9. You chew gum
You may want to ditch the gum if you find yourself with a sore jaw at the end of the day, says Don C. Atkins, DDS, a family dentist in Long Beach, California. "The jaw joint is designed to chew food, not gum. The time you spend chewing food each day is much less than the many minutes some people chew gum," he says. Like any overused muscle, constant chewing can lead to pain and problems.
10. You carry your purse the same way every day
It may be stylish, but carrying a heavy bag over the same shoulder day in and day out can eventually result in muscular imbalances and shoulder pain.
