All of us make

little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run

- simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are

some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

 

 

 

 

Crossing our legs

 

 

 

Do you cross your legs at your

knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like

elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your

legs. If you don " t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs

and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise

you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply

place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally.

If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs,

simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you

could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a

classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and

your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.

 

 

Not

changing our toothbrush

 

 

 

 

 

 

How often do you change your

toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either

fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we " d be embarrassed to pull

out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out

our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it.

Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel,

and don " t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a

pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it

right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice

a day only to find out that you " re damaging your enamel every time you

clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your

dentist has advised otherwise.

 

 

Eating out often

 

 

There are oils that are high in

cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your

heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea

to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all

probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE

chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen

of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm

butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No

wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they

felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you

know that you " re getting served light and healthy food.

 

 

Skipping breakfast

 

 

Never, ever skip breakfast.

Remember, when you wake up in the morning it " s been around 10-12 hours

since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other

time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and

the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat

a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make.

Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole

lot better.

 

 

High heels

 

 

High heels sure look great, but

they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should

steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be

walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner -

when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table,

and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you

are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your

flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair

of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love,

that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will

then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.

 

 

 

Sleeping on a soft bed

You don't have to

sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a

firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to

sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with

springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick

wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank.

Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a

new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies

to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet

comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.

 

 

Pillows

No

matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your

neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too

thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get

a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little

thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support

 

 

 

Not exercising

So

all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a

health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we

refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working

out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced

a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you

decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't

need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of

brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of

difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty

minutes, four times a week - and

 

you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake
