Mouth Breathing
Have you ever heard of the insult “mouth breather”? It wouldn’t be an insult if it weren’t a bad habit! It may seem harmless, but it’s actually associated with a lot of negative health effects. It could cause allergies, gum diseases, and even facial deformities in children!
Your nose is a lot better at filtering air, keeping all the harmful stuff at bay and away from your lungs. Stress and anxiety could lead to mouth breathing, but this could also be caused by a blockage in your nasal cavities.
Talk to your doctor about it in order to find solutions to this problem. In some cases, you may only need to use over the counter nasal sprays in order to curb this bad habit.
Inconsistent or Trend Dieting, or Obsessing Over Diet
Do you want to lose weight? So do a lot of people- some manage to do it, others don’t. You may think that by doing everything and anything you can in order to do so, you aren’t engaging in a bad habit. But you are, especially if you’re engaging in trend dieting and are obsessing over your weight loss.
If you don’t eat enough you could shut down crucial aspects of your biological process. Here, we’re talking about reproduction, hormone production, and thermoregulation.
By chasing fad diets and setting unrealistic diets you’ll only end up in a vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain. A good place to start is with a professional. Talk to a dietitian to make up a meal plan that works for you, that you can stick to without feeling overwhelmed!
