It’s never too late to change bad habits. Today, most women are not aware of the importance of having a healthy lifestyle, the harmful effects of not practicing exercises, excess alcohol consumption, smoking, stress and an unbalanced diet. And although many of these seem harmless to our everyday life, one day you might suffer the consequences of their effect. That’s why it is important to identify them in time and avoid them.
A sedentary lifestyle doesn’t only affect beauty, but health in general, and its main consequence is weight gain and obesity. This lack of physical activity increases the risk of cardiovascular and heart disease. Exercising for at least thirty minutes a day can reduce health risks.
Social drinking is very serious for our health today. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and makes it opaque. This makes our skin age faster and favors the appearance of spots and wrinkles. The damage is not different for our vital organs such as our heart, pancreas, liver and brain. The appearance of cellulite is associated with alcohol, because it causes fluid retention.
Smoking is one of the most harmful habits. It contributes to various diseases and also affects beauty. Nicotine can make your skin and hair very dry. Gradually, the face becomes dehydrated, losing all its freshness; and the hair starts to fall out and lose its shine and vitality.
Smoking can make your nails and teeth yellow. In addition, smokers are more likely to suffer from skin, esophagus, lungs and throat cancer and emphysema.
Stress is also a harmful factor, because it creates mood changes. This is bad for our physical and emotional health and our performance as individuals. It is associated with digestive, nutritional and metabolic diseases; and it’s also the cause of mental disorders and depression. Stress causes blood pressure to rise, forcing the heart to work twice as much, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
Health, beauty and well-being depend on what we eat every day. Bad eating habits are associated with many diseases that affect our health, physical appearance and mood.
Consuming excess sugar and fatty foods is also bad, and it can lead to diabetes and obesity, making our skin weak and susceptible to stretch marks, wrinkles, and many other diseases.
Choose a healthy lifestyle and look fresh, full of energy and healthy. That way, you’ll always look beautiful inside and out!
