Daily Habits That Impact Human's Health

Getting rid of daily habits can be tough to break, especially the ones revolving around food. Whatever your habits may be, it is important to pay attention to the ones that may be harming your health in the long run.

Read on to learn more about what experts revealed about the habits that can wreck your body.

Skipping breakfast

Experts stated that skipping breakfast is one of the worst eating habits to have.

Registered dietitian Lauren Pimentel, RD, highlighted that eating in the morning sets the body up for a day of stable blood sugar, and noted when people skip breakfast, they often end up overeating throughout the day because their bodies are starving and desperate for nutrients.

He added that this can contribute to a vicious cycle, where those who skip breakfast often end up eating their largest meal at night and feel very full when going to sleep, and are most likely wake up with little or no appetite for breakfast.

Many juices cleanse

Drinking every now and then a juice cleanse is probably fine, but the expert shared that continuously cleansing or going on fasts can wreck your body and metabolism.

Eating late at night

Registered dietitian expert, Keith-Thomas Ayoob, EdD, RD, stressed that eating before bed is a detrimental habit that can lead to disrupted sleep, reflux and indigestion issues, and a loss of appetite in the morning.

He added that there is something called 'night-eating syndrome', where people eat very little during the day and believe they are saving all these calories, only to have a huge calorie blast at night when they get hungry while watching TV.

He noted people should try to avoid eating three hours before bedtime and eat a high-protein breakfast within two hours of waking up, adding getting enough calories and protein during the day and closing the refrigerator door in the evening before bed will lead to much better sleep and can potentially help with your weight goals as well.

Not enough beans

Beans, sometimes lead to unwanted gas, but it is actually considered to be one of the healthiest foods people can eat.

"Beans hit that 'nutrition trifecta' by having protein, fiber, and a ton of vitamins and minerals. Beans also have a low glycemic index, which means they don't spike your blood sugar like refined carbs do." the expert noted.

Ayoob recommended adding beans into your diet consistently and gradually by putting a tablespoon or two to a soup or salad several days a week, to minimize flatulence.

Eating giant portions

Eating portions that are too large in one sitting may be wrecking your health without you realizing it.

Daniel Boyer, MD, noted that the excess calories may be deposited as fat in your body, leading to an increase in body weight and adding to the probability of developing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, which are two risk factors of major health conditions such as diabetes and heart diseases.

Too much added sugar

Eating too much added sugar is a habit that can lead to many health issues, one that can be easy consumed too much due to its availability in the food that we buy in stores and at restaurants.

The expert noted that the added sugar can lead to higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver diseases, which are all linked to heart attack and stroke.
