If you are someone who does not consistently get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, then you could be lowering your immune system, increasing your risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and is only making life more difficult for yourself due to san inability to concentrate or function optimally.

Listening to loud music

If you regularly turn your music up to the highest volume, and you are wearing earbuds, then you could be storing up a big problem for your future. One of the cornerstones of hearing loss prevention is limiting your exposure to loud noises, particularly those over 70 decibels, so keep the volume down and make sure you can go on hearing that music you love so much.

Drugs and alcohol

Struggling with drug dependency is a severe issue that can lead to a range of adverse health effects such as heart damage, brain damage, respiratory problems, and even death, and seeking help from trained professionals through drug rehabilitation programs and counseling can significantly improve the chances of long-term recovery and improved health outcomes.

Consuming too little water

The body is made up of 60 percent water. When we do not get enough water, we can start to suffer from headaches, fatigue, low mood, and memory loss. Our skin can suffer too. That’s why, if you are serious about good health, you need to be serious about drinking more water. Buy a reusable water bottle and take it everywhere with you, ensuring you drink at least a couple of liters each day, more if you are particularly active or it is particularly hot.

Not exercising
