There are risky habits that you keep doing that can cost you in one way or another. These habits are common among people and in most cases causes more harm than good.
Here are the perilous things you are unknowingly doing to your body;
1. Self-medication
Most people tend to buy medicines when they have a headache or a stomach upset. This is not only dangerous to the body but you may also end up wasting your money buying the wrong drugs. Having a headache can mean that you are suffering from a different disease. Don't always prescribe yourself a drug. Go for a checkup before using the medicine.
2. Sitting for long hours in one position
Some jobs especially the sedentary ones are so demanding to a point that you don't get time to stretch your hands or legs. If you stay in one position for long, there will be no smooth flow of blood across the body. Spare some minutes to stretch your body. This is for your own good.
3. Not getting enough sleep
Depriving yourself enough sleep is among the dangerous things to avoid. Do you know the repercussions of not having enough sleep? Your organs will not function properly and you will be less productive in your workplace. You may also have poor concentration and memory loss as highlighted by Alana Biggers, MD, MPH, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System.
