You are advised to avoid these three simple things for you to live a healthy life:

1. Use toilet paper as makeshift tampons

Most women are always ready with an emergency tampon. 

However, there are times when periods start unannounced. 

Some ladies choose to use toilet paper as a solution. 

This is dangerous because as the paper gets moist, it tears apart and this could cause bacterial infections.

2. Nose picking

You might think this is a reserve for children, but even adults still pick their noses when they are sure they are alone. 

This is not healthy because the more you pick your nose, the more the chances of getting the Staphylococcus bacteria. 

These bacteria are responsible for food poisoning, respiratory infections, skin infections, bloodstream infections as well as bone and joint infections.

3. Biting your nails
