‘Health is wealth’, they say, but how can one be healthy if they don’t even know the basic facts about their health and ways they can stay healthy? With the help of this post though, I’m confident all that will change, as it’ll expose to you those things you need to maintain a healthy living.

Now, check out the following health facts.

 

1. ALCOHOL AND PREGNANCY

During pregnancy, it is advised that women stay off all alcoholic drinks to ensure that they give birth to totally healthy and normal children. Failure to heed this advice can lead to having deformed children.

2. BREAST CANCER

Breast cancer is mostly caused by 2 major things; eating excessively and insufficient sleep. Eating too much increases the body’s insulin level, and a lack of sleep reduces the amount of melatonin in the body.

3. EXERCISING

If you want to exercise or work out faster and easily, get a mirror. Working out in front of one makes the activity a lot more fun.

4. BEARDS

Funny as it may sound, growing your beard too much could expose you to the same sort of bacteria as you find in an overgrown armpit. This is why it’s important to keep it low always, but if you must grow it (them), wash thoroughly everyday.

5. HEART ATTACK

People tend to suffer more heart attacks during festive periods such as Christmas and New Year. The reason for this is still unclear.

6. HUGS

Simple things like an honest hug can go as far as reducing stress, helping your emotional state, and improving your heart. So, get one often.

7. FRUITS AND VEGGIES

Eating fruits and vegetables in sufficient amounts can help your body fight pain. Fruits and veggies help the body produce benzoic acid, which is an important factor in the production of salicylic acid, a key part of aspirin.

8. BREAKFAST

Eating breakfast is like putting fuel in your body’s vehicle or engine, without it, you may not function properly throughout the day.

9. HIGH HEELS

It may seem harmless now, but putting on those 6″ shoes and more may take their toll on you later in life. They stress your joints and hurt your ligaments. Better to wear comfortable shoes now than regret not doing so later.

10. CANCER

Eating lots of tomatoes, nuts and cereals can help fight off cancer. They contain lycopene and vitamin E, two of the most powerful antioxidants, but should not be consumed excessively.

11. THE KITCHEN

The kitchen sink has the potential to be dirtier than your bathroom, because they tend to gather millions of tiny micro- organisms. This is why cleanliness is a necessity.

 

So, now, you know some vital health facts. I wish you a healthier life!
