Don't brush your teeth before going to bed
Brushing your teeth before bedtime is more important than in the morning. It not only clears oral deposits, but also helps protect your teeth and help you fall asleep safely.
43% of people admit that they occasionally forget to brush their teeth before going to bed. Experts remind that during sleep, the secretion of saliva is greatly reduced, and this saliva is the main force for killing bacteria. So, an accidental failure to brush teeth may cause oral bacteria to enter, resulting in a significant increase in the risk of dental caries and periodontal disease. In addition, many studies have confirmed that bacteria that cause periodontal disease can also cause problems with your heart.

Bathing with clean water
A warm water bath (35 ℃ -45 ℃) before going to bed every night can relax muscles and joints throughout the body, accelerate blood circulation, and help you fall asleep peacefully. Experts point out that it is best to decide whether to use bath liquid or not when taking a shower based on your sweating situation. The bacteria that cause human body odor rely on sweat, especially from the armpits and groins. When sweating heavily, flushing with water alone is not enough to clean, which can lead to bacterial retention. The longer the retention time, the more "smelly" a person becomes.

Wash hands without soap after going to the bathroom
Even children know that they need to wash their hands before and after meals, but have you really washed them clean? According to the survey, only 38% of people wash their hands with soap after going to the bathroom, and 2% of people wash their hands for more than 10 seconds. Experts say that when you go to the toilet to wipe, your hand is very close to the source of E. coli, which may cause bacterial infection. If you don't use soap, you can't completely remove bacteria. Therefore, after using the restroom, be sure to wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer, and rinse thoroughly with water.

Underpants don't change every day
Your underwear must be washed and changed frequently. Microbiologist Dr. Charles Geba pointed out that after wearing underwear for a day, there will be about 0.1 grams of feces left on it. One gram of feces contains 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria, 1000 parasitic cysts, and 100 insect eggs. These bacteria can attach to your hands, and if you rub your eyes or even take something to eat without washing your hands, it can lead to illness.

Barefoot fitness
The survey found that 32% of people are barefoot fitness, especially when doing aerobics or belly dance. Experts suggest that it is best to wear a pair of lightweight shoes at this time. Because during fitness, your feet sweat profusely, a humid environment is most conducive to bacterial growth. These bacteria can be left on the floor through others' feet, and when you step on them, you may catch athlete's foot or plantar warts (a type of foot wart).
Eight unhealthy habits
1
Eat only when hungry
Many friends are unable to eat on time in their daily lives or do not eat until they are hungry, the reason being 'not hungry'. Some friends often eat after finishing their work, which is unscientific. Food stays in the stomach for only 4-5 hours, and when we feel hungry, our appetite is already empty. At this point, the gastric mucosa will be "self digested" by gastric juice, causing gastritis or peptic ulcers, and also weakening the body's disease resistance.
2
Drink only when thirsty
Some friends do not have the habit of drinking water and must wait until they are thirsty before drinking water. In fact, when we feel thirsty, our bodies are already severely dehydrated. It's already too late to replenish the water at this point. Water is the source of life and is more important in the metabolic process of the human body than food. Physiologists tell us that every adult needs around 1500-2000 milliliters of water per day. Drinking a glass of water after waking up in the morning or an hour before meals is very beneficial for the body. Water not only washes the gastrointestinal tract, but also helps digestion and promotes appetite. The survey shows that the incidence rate of constipation and stones of people who have the habit of drinking water regularly is significantly lower than that of people who do not drink water regularly. Drinking water also has a positive effect on preventing diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Don't rest until you're tired
It is passed down from our ancestors that we rest when we are tired, and many friends have done this throughout their lives. These friends think that only when they feel tired should they go to rest. In fact, when you feel tired, your body is already quite tired. Excessive fatigue can easily lead to overwork and illness, reducing the body's immune system and allowing diseases to take advantage. Whether it is mental or physical labor, after a continuous period of work, it is necessary to take appropriate rest.
4
Sleep only when you're tired
Some friends think that only when they feel sleepy should they go to bed. In fact, drowsiness is a manifestation of brain fatigue, and one should not wait until this time to go to bed. The good habit of going to bed on time not only protects the brain, but also makes it very easy to fall asleep, improves sleep quality, and reduces the occurrence of insomnia. About one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep. Sleep is a physiological process of human metabolism. Ensure regular sleep and a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per day to maintain the normal operation of the sleep biological clock.
5
It's only when you're in a hurry
Many friends only go to the bathroom when their bowel movements are very obvious. Even if there is a bowel movement, I don't understand, I would rather hold it. Doing so is extremely detrimental to health. Urinary and bowel movements stay in the body for a long time, which can easily cause constipation or overfilling of the bladder. Toxic substances in feces and urine are constantly reabsorbed by the human body, which can easily lead to "self poisoning". Therefore, cultivating the habit of urinating and urinating on time can reduce the chances of developing hemorrhoids, constipation, and colorectal diseases.

Lose weight only when you gain weight
With the improvement of living standards and changes in lifestyle, there are more and more friends who are prone to obesity. Many experts believe that the main reasons for obesity are overeating, overnutrition and lack of exercise. Many friends spend a lot of money and time on weight loss after becoming obese, which is very uneconomical. In fact, any current weight loss methods are very limited. Because losing weight afterwards is not as good as preventing it beforehand, we can completely prevent it before exceeding the weight limit. For example, controlling and adjusting diet, preventing overeating, strengthening physical exercise, and so on.
7
Treat only when sick
Health medicine also regards prevention as the first line of defense, as everything is predicted and established, and unpredictability leads to abandonment. The cost of treating a disease that has already caused harm to the body can be enormous. In fact, diseases have signals before they form, and the sub health state we often refer to is a signal. Once entering a sub healthy state, attention should be paid. There are many diseases that are difficult to detect early solely based on self perception. Only by regularly going to the hospital for health checks can they be detected and treated early. There are quite a few friends who usually think they are not sick, but upon examination at the hospital, they discover the problem. Some hepatitis, tuberculosis, hypertension, heart disease and diabetes, including many A symptoms, can also be found early in routine examinations. It can be seen that seeking medical attention without illness is crucial for middle-aged friends to adhere to regular medical examinations at the hospital.

Exercise only when you're old
In the crowd of people who exercise every morning, if we pay a little attention, we will find that most of the people who participate in morning exercises are elderly people, and there are few middle-aged friends. Many middle-aged friends have no subjective awareness of taking the initiative to exercise. Because of this, some diseases occur prematurely in middle-aged friends. What kind of senile diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease are getting younger and younger, and the prevalence rate of fatty liver among middle-aged friends is even more amazing. This is directly related to middle-aged friends not participating in exercise, overeating, and frequently drinking alcohol.
