Watching TV
Sitting for hours on end increases your risk of heart attack and stroke(中風(fēng)),"some exercise doesn't make up for the time you sit,"says Harmony R.Reynolds,Why?The lack of movement may affect blood levels of fats and sugars.Dr.Reynolds advises walking around regularly and,if you're at work,standing up to talk on the phone.
Leaving hostility and depression unchecked
Are you feeling stressed or sad?It can do harm to your heart.While everyone feels this way some of the time,how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health."Those with stress are in greater danger; research has shown a benefit to laughter and social support,"Dr.Reynolds says."And it's helpful to be able to go to someone and talk about your problems."
Cutting off from the world
It's no secret that on some days,other human beings can seem annoying and too difficult to get along with.
However,it makes sense to strengthen your connections to the ones you actually like.People with stronger connections to family,friends,and society in general tend to live longer,healthier lives.
Everyone needs alone time,but you should still reach out to others and keep in touch whenever you can.
Drinking (too much) alcohol
