UNHEALTHY HABİTS
How many people
are aware of having unhealthy habits? No one knows it until their body makes
them suffer and no one knows how to quit them and how much they have to suffer
from the harm of those habits. As the time goes by, the unhealthy habits cause
our lives to get limited and we just ignore it. There are a lot of reasons to
quit the unhealthy habits like smoking, overeating, drinking, and sleeping too
much.
Firstly, there are
a lot of reasons not to smoke. Smoking physically causes lung cancer, vascular
occlusion, emphysema, cataract, heart disease, and bronchitis. A cigarette
contains a lot of harmful chemicals which dramatically damage people’s health.
Smoking causes the death of brain cells, which leads people to inefficiency in
learning, mental impairment and early dementia. Smoking affects the smell of
people’s breath, clothes, and hair. People may not be aware of how they smell,
but people around them realize this disgusting odor. When people consider those
points, they become more aware and find a way to quit smoking.
Secondly, there
are a lot of reasons not to overeat. Overeating causes people to obesity, heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer. Especially overeating fast-food is dangerous for
people’s health. People who overeat
start to hate themselves, become regretful for eating and feel stressed. When
people become fat, it becomes difficult for them to find suitable clothes. Even
if they do not want to eat, they cannot control themselves. When people
consider those points, they become more aware and find a way to quit overeating.
Finally, there
are a lot of reasons not to oversleep. Oversleeping causes people to diabetes,
headaches, depression, heart disease, hormonal imbalance, and obesity. The
amount of sleep depends on the age, but people are supposed to sleep 8 hours
per day. People who oversleep generally feel depressed because they feel
lethargic and regretful after waking up. They want to sleep more although they
are totally wide awake. It is not under their control. When people consider
those points, they become more aware and find a way to quit oversleeping.
To sum up, we have
uncountable unhealthy habits. These are the most well known habits over the
world. To me, the first thing people must do is to know their habits and the
second thing is to separate which one is harmful to their health. Then they had
better get support to overcome our unhealthy habits.
