7 habits you need to quit
Drinking ranks first among the most annoying men's habits. The American scientists from the center for family relations reached this conclusion in the course of a survey in which 1,500 women took part. Ladies are not happy when their man spends every evening over a bottle of beer, thereby causing harm to their male health.
Here are 7 more habits that are not only bad for your health, but can potentially destroy your relationship:
1. Backing out of your promises
It doesn't matter if you didn't manage to fulfill some significant promise, or if you forgot about something small: you were late for a date or worked long hours, or it slipped your mind to buy something that she asked for many times. Women want to be with someone they can rely on. If you're blaming yourself for being forgetful, it's time to start taking notes in your notebook or set a reminder on your phone.
2. Sedentary lifestyle
Scientists from Sweden believe that a sedentary lifestyle negatively affects the reproductive system: libido decreases, the production of seminal fluid worsens, problems achieving orgasm come into play, and sometimes troubles getting erection as well. Sedentary work in the office for 6-7 years for at least 6 hours a day is comparable to smoking in its effects on men's health. Imagine, someone puts a little pressure on your neck for 6 hours, which does not allow the oxygen to fully reach your brain .That will lead to the fact that the brain simply will not be able to function normally. So, constantly sitting on a chair, the same thing happens. The lower back and bottom swell, therefore causing impaired blood circulation and local hypoxia. If you want to avoid problems with the genitourinary system and hemorrhoids, get up from your work chair as often you can and do a warm-up. Massage of the lower back and buttocks also helps to accelerate the blood flow. And while sitting, it is recommended to transfer the weight of the body not to the sciatic bones, but to the legs.
3. Micro-cheating
Many men naively believe that to cheat on your partner means to have sex with someone else. Absolutely not. Relationships can be destroyed by texts on the social media, flirting, looking at other women. This is commonly called micro-cheating. Even if you don't see anything wrong with this behavior, your significant other may have a very different opinion. It is better to discuss that with them to avoid any further problems.
4. Small salary
40% of women believe that their man could earn much more if he wanted to. And in a 2012 study published in the Family Relations Journal, money was named the main factor that makes men and women want to divorce.
5. Constant negativity
Of course, relationships should be built on honesty. But if you repeatedly pour out your negative emotions on your partner and tell them why you are not in the mood again, sooner or later even the most patient woman will not want to deal with it. Moreover, scientists have long proven the link between health and our emotional state. Ancient Greek philosophers talked a lot about it in their works. In the modern science of neurophysiology, Nobel prize winner Charles Sherrington deduced the following pattern: emotional experiences develop into somatic and vegetative changes.
6. Slouch
The back muscles are the basis of the entire body. And scientists say that our mood, self-confidence and trust from other people depend on a beautiful posture. Therefore, try not to slouch, even when spending time at the computer. Keep your back straight following these simple tips:
- Choose your seat accordingly to your height
- In the sitting position, the angles under the knees should be 90 degrees, and the feet firmly pressed against the floor
- Computer or laptop screen should be in front of your eyes
- Always remember to keep your back straight. And in a month it will turn into a habit
- Go to a massage therapy. That will help to get relief from back muscle spasms
- Exercise. Often because of untrained muscles, we can't keep our back straight all day
7. Refusal of treatment and medications
Relying on the idea that problem will just go away, you thereby endanger not only your body, but also the health of others. After all, the disease can be contagious. According to world medical statistics, 30% of the male population of the planet suffer from chronic prostatitis. And the reason for this is ignoring the primary symptoms of the disease.
We hope you did not spot any of your habits in the list. If you happen to have some, it's time to step up your game and get rid of them. Make a choice in favor of good habits that will improve your emotional and physical condition: exercise, read daily, travel.
