HARMFUL HABITS OTHER THAN SMOKING
Many non-smokers think that staying away from cigarettes is enough to lead a healthy life, but they ignore other unhealthy habits that they make every day. The difference is in the “mechanism” of the long-term impact on the body and the organism. Here are some habits that are equally harmful as smoking.
Many of us sit all day because of our work, and there are people who spend their free time in front of the TV or computer. Sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and even depression. Studies show that prolonged sitting increases the risk of premature death. If you realize that you spend most of the day sitting, try getting up periodically, even to get a glass of water or stretch your legs during the lunch break.
Regular consumption of sugary beverages increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, even if you are not overweight. Additional doses of sugar can lead to diabetes, mental disorders, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. If you want to have a juice, choose a freshly squeezed juice and artificial sweetener.
You already know that sunbeds increase the risk of skin cancer. People under 30 that use sunbeds are 75% more at risk of developing melanoma, and more than 400,000 cases of skin cancer are directly related to the use of sunbeds. Sunbeds, sunlamps and tanning booths give out the same type of harmful radiation as sunlight. UVA rays make up about 95% of sunlight. They can cause your skin to age prematurely, making it look coarse, leathery and wrinkled. UVB rays make up about 5% of sunlight and burn your skin. It's illegal for people who are under the age of 18 to use sunbeds. The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 makes it an offence for someone operating a sunbed business to permit those under 18 to:
use a sunbed at the business premises, including beauty salons, leisure centres, gyms and hotels
be offered the use of a sunbed at the business premises
be allowed in an area reserved for sunbed users (unless they're working as an employee of the business)
The GOV.UK website has further details about the Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010.
Nutritionists have come to the conclusion that people whose diets are high in animal protein, are four times more likely to die from cancer than people who have a daily intake of food that is of plant origin. You can choose one day of the week when you eat meat.
