12. Avoid too much screen time
Spending way too many hours in front of a screen such as a TV, laptop, smartphone, or tablet is a huge mistake, not only for your metabolism but your overall health. A study conducted by Northwestern University found that prolonged exposure to blue light during the day impacts your metabolism more than you think.
The researchers added that this bad habit maximizes your chances of weight gain while leading to blurred vision and disrupting circadian rhythms. Avoid staring at your phone for more than one hour without a break. People who work in front of a computer should take breaks more often.
