There is a list of routines that are considered good for your health. However, if you overdo them, they may have the opposite effect.\n

1. Drink 8 Glasses Of Water Per Day\n

Drinking too much water is actually a thing, and it can be dangerous to you because your kidneys can\u2019t get rid of the excess water. We all have different bodies, so you might need more or less than 8 glasses every day.\n

2. Eat Lots Of Carrots\n

Although carrots are a very healthy vegetable to incorporate into your diet, they won\u2019t give you night vision. They are, indeed, rich in vitamin A, which helps with eyesight, but they won\u2019t help you in the dark.
\nEven, eating too much of them might cause a condition called carotenemia, which causes skin discoloration because of the beta-carotene in them. Several other fruits and vegetables have this pigment in them as well.\n

3. Sleeping More On The Weekends\n

Sleep is essential for good physical and mental health, but you won\u2019t catch up on all those sleepless nights simply by getting few more hours on a Saturday. Also, if you sleep too much, you might experience some unpleasant mental issues.\n

4. Brush Your Teeth After Every Meal\n

5. Replace Sugar With Substitutes\n

Not going overboard with your sugar intake is a wise thing to do, but cutting it out completely and replacing it with all kinds of sweeteners might not be the wisest decision either. Some of these options are totally artificial and might have long-term side effects.\n

6. Take Nutritional Supplements\n

Just because you hear people are taking them doesn\u2019t automatically mean you should too. If you\u2019re vegan and have a deficiency in vitamin B12, then this is understandable. But high doses of vitamin supplements don\u2019t prevent certain health issues, and they can even be harmful, according to a study. Try to opt for a varied diet of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n

7. Replace Your Meal With A Smoothie\n

Smoothies are great, but they mostly contain fruit, water, and milk. They don\u2019t provide you with the necessary nutrients that your body needs. Besides, a lot of smoothies contain a large amount of fruit, and eating it all at once might increase your blood sugar, leading to an insulin spike. This can translate to seeing more pounds on your scale.\n

8. Eat Low-carbs\n

The keto diet has become popular all over the world because people actually lose weight with it. When you don\u2019t eat carbs, your body transforms the remaining fat into the energy it needs for you to function. In the long term, not eating carbohydrates won\u2019t do you any good. You can try to remove processed carbs, like white flour or white sugar, but whole grains contain a lot of fiber.\n

9. Use Sunscreen\n

Sunscreen can protect you from certain skin diseases, but that doesn\u2019t mean that the sun is your number one enemy. Using too much sunscreen may leave you with a vitamin D deficiency. And people with darker skin tones don\u2019t necessarily need sunscreen. Experts recommend 10 to 15 minutes daily of sun exposure to take in the necessary vitamin D that helps stave off depression and osteomalacia.\n

10. Insert The Cotton Swab Into Your Ear\n

Earwax is not necessarily a bad thing. It prevents dust or dirt from entering your ear, but if you\u2019re a fan of cotton swabs, try to use them on the outer part of the ear only. Don\u2019t insert them too far into the ear canal, as this can be quite dangerous and might cause deafness, nausea, or loss of taste.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
