Medical Video: 20 BAD HABITS THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU
"Eh, don't be like that, it's not good for health, you know!"
Maybe you have got the greeting. Whether because of accidentally or indeed intentionally doing something that is considered bad by the environment. However, did you know that not all things that are considered bad have a negative impact on health?
If you want to know more about what bad habits you can do, here are a few of them.
1. Fidgetting(doing repetitive movements)
Before spinner fidget famous, without you realizing it, fidgeting has become part of your activity. Fidgeting is a technique used to help reduce stress and keep the brain focused on doing something; either by moving your feet, playing objects that are around like playing the tip of a pen, paper, and so on.
Studies show that people do certain movements repeatedly, akafidgeting, can more easily maintain weight, heart health, and lungs. Other studies also show that fidgeting can prevent the adverse effects of sitting too long. So, if you unconsciously do fidgeting by moving your legs or other, just do it.
2. Double checking
There may be members of your family, or even yourself, who often feel unsatisfied before checking everything twice. When traveling, you might ask a second time, "The door has been locked yet, huh?" Then you will get out of the car and check the door of the house again.
You might be upset about it, but you know if it doesn't hurt to do it double checking because who knows you forgot to close the door or something? Double checking can help you feel safer to leave home or do daily activities without anxiety.
3. Mess
Everyone has different characteristics; and usually, a person's characteristics can be seen from the environment he occupies. Many people are annoyed to see a messy room, but there are also people who like to see it. There is nothing wrong with both, because both are choices.
The study published in Psychological Science magazine found that people who are in a neat environment tend to produce creative thinking, or out of the box. So, it never hurts to fall apart as long as it doesn't make the room dirty and smelly.
4. Chewing gum
Chewing gum often creates its own pleasure for those who do it; although many people forbid because they were worried that their teeth would be damaged. But for those of you who like to chew gum, you don't need to stop doing it. Because it turns out, chewing gum can help you focus.
In addition, a study published in the American Dental Association states that removing gum can increase salivary production in the mouth. If you chew sugarless gum after a meal, the production of saliva will increase and can help neutralize and eliminate acid which if left unchecked will cause plaque on the teeth.
Increased production of saliva will also carry calcium and phosphate which can help strengthen tooth enamel. Clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless sweets for 20 minutes after a meal can help prevent tooth decay.
5. Drink coffee
Many people think that coffee can increase the risk of heart disease. But recent studies have found no association between coffee and an increased risk of heart disease or cancer. The latest study actually found that coffee is actually beneficial for health.
The content of antioxidants and some chemicals in caffeinated beverages can actually help fight Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, liver cancer, and can even improve memory. Coffee turned out to also be able to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of depression.
However, although coffee has many benefits, coffee remains a risk for health because high consumption of unfiltered coffee has been associated with increased levels of mild cholesterol. So, you can still consume coffee. It's just that you are still encouraged to limit consumption of caffeinated drinks to no more than 4 cups per day.
