There\u2019s a\u00a0common\u00a0belief\u00a0that it\u00a0takes 21\u00a0days for a\u00a0habit to\u00a0form. But scientists have proven that an\u00a0average of\u00a066\u00a0days is\u00a0necessary in\u00a0order to\u00a0turn an\u00a0action into something that you do\u00a0without having to\u00a0think about\u00a0it. And getting rid of\u00a0a\u00a0habit that\u2019s already been formed could take much longer. But it\u2019s definitely worth considering which of\u00a0your habits are healthy and which may be\u00a0harmful.\n

\n

We\u00a0at\u00a0Bright Side\u00a0found out about a\u00a0few common habits which would be\u00a0better left in\u00a0the past. Don\u2019t worry if\u00a0you recognize some of\u00a0the things mentioned below. Just remember\u00a0\u2014 any bad habit can be\u00a0replaced with a\u00a0healthier one.\n\n

Passengers like to\u00a0sit however they\u2019re most comfortable. In\u00a0many movies, the coolest characters are often filmed sitting in\u00a0the front seat of\u00a0the car with their feet up\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0dashboard.\n
The reality is\u00a0that this position is\u00a0very dangerous. Apart from this being a\u00a0horrible position to\u00a0be\u00a0in\u00a0during a\u00a0car accident, there is\u00a0also a\u00a0lesser evil to\u00a0be\u00a0aware of\u00a0\u2014 braking.\u00a0Keeping your feet up\u00a0at\u00a0face level means that your face will hit your knees if\u00a0the car suddenly brakes or\u00a0stops.\u00a0The collision of\u00a0your jaw and your knees can lead to\u00a0bone fractures and an\u00a0extremely long and difficult recovery period.\n
This is\u00a0why it\u2019s better to\u00a0forget about this habit and to\u00a0get comfortable sitting with your back up\u00a0against the seat, your knees bent in\u00a0front of\u00a0you, and your seatbelt across your chest.\n

It\u2019s almost an\u00a0involuntary movement to\u00a0open up\u00a0the shower curtain after a\u00a0shower, dry off, and hang up\u00a0your wet towel. Unfortunately, this is\u00a0quite an\u00a0unsanitary habit.\u00a0Bacteria\u00a0can easily multiply in\u00a0the wet creases of\u00a0the towel and mold can grow in\u00a0the folds of\u00a0the gathered-up shower curtain.\n
This is\u00a0why it\u2019s better to\u00a0let your wet towels dry unfolded and to\u00a0stretch out your shower curtain until it\u00a0dries.\n\n

Many of\u00a0us start our day by\u00a0going to\u00a0the kitchen and making a\u00a0cup of\u00a0coffee\u00a0before we\u00a0get to\u00a0anything else. This is\u00a0a\u00a0very common habit throughout the entire world. There\u2019s just one problem\u00a0\u2014 most of\u00a0us drink a\u00a0cup of\u00a0coffee on\u00a0an\u00a0empty stomach. Despite the fact that coffee has its benefits, it\u00a0does have some downsides as\u00a0well. One of\u00a0them is\u00a0that if\u00a0you drink coffee on\u00a0an\u00a0empty stomach,\u00a0it\u00a0can cause\u00a0heartburn\u00a0and digestion problems.\n
When you are\u00a0hungry\u00a0and think about food, your stomach starts releasing gastric acid. When you drink coffee, it\u00a0has the same effect on\u00a0your stomach, except that solid food doesn\u2019t follow. This leads to\u00a0the release of\u00a0too much gastric acid which can damage the stomach lining.\n
Specialists\u00a0recommend\u00a0drinking coffee only after eating breakfast or\u00a0in\u00a0the middle of\u00a0the day.\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a\u00a0big bucket of\u00a0salty and savory\u00a0popcorn\u00a0in\u00a0front of\u00a0the big screen? It\u2019s a\u00a0long-standing tradition to\u00a0buy soda and some popcorn and watch a\u00a0movie. But it\u2019s actually quite a\u00a0harmful habit. The good news\u00a0is, that it\u2019s not that difficult to\u00a0quit.\n
Dentists\u00a0say that\u00a0popcorn can damage your teeth. Small particles of\u00a0popcorn get stuck between your teeth, and they\u2019re very hard to\u00a0get rid\u00a0of, even with regular care. Another thing to\u00a0consider is\u00a0that movie theater\u00a0popcorn\u00a0is\u00a0very high in\u00a0fat. Try not ordering popcorn the next time you go\u00a0to\u00a0the movies and you may be\u00a0surprised to\u00a0notice that a\u00a0movie without popcorn is\u00a0just as\u00a0enjoyable.\n\n
\n
5. Don\u2019t leave a\u00a0bottle of\u00a0water in\u00a0the car.\n
\n\n
\n
If\u00a0you\u2019re a\u00a0car owner, there is\u00a0a\u00a0very high probability that you keep a\u00a0bottle of\u00a0water inside your car. Whether you hold on\u00a0to\u00a0the water bottle for the sake of\u00a0emergencies or\u00a0just because you\u2019re trying to\u00a0increase your water intake, keep in\u00a0mind that this is\u00a0a\u00a0rather dangerous habit\u00a0\u2014 especially in\u00a0the summer.\n
The problem is\u00a0that the water in\u00a0the bottle acts as\u00a0a\u00a0lens and if\u00a0sunlight reaches\u00a0it, especially if\u00a0the bottle is\u00a0on\u00a0a\u00a0dark surface,\u00a0it\u00a0can start a\u00a0fire.\u00a0The possibility is\u00a0pretty small, but it\u00a0still exists. If\u00a0you don\u2019t want to\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0rare case of\u00a0fire caused by\u00a0water, take your water bottle with you next time.\n\n

Anyone who has ever had a\u00a0breakout knows the rule: do\u00a0not pop a\u00a0pimple.\n
A\u00a0pimple\u00a0emerges when a\u00a0pore is\u00a0clogged with excess oil. That\u2019s when the inflammation process begins. If\u00a0a\u00a0body is\u00a0healthy, it\u00a0sends white blood cells to\u00a0fight harmful bacteria. That is\u00a0why this part of\u00a0the skin turns red.\u00a0When you pop a\u00a0pimple,\u00a0the sides of\u00a0the pore get damaged.\u00a0As\u00a0a\u00a0result, it\u00a0becomes even more susceptible to\u00a0bacteria. Besides, when popping pimples, you risk getting the wound infected if\u00a0your hands are dirty.\n
If\u00a0you are worried about your skin condition, visit a\u00a0dermatologist. If\u00a0you almost never break out, use some special topical ointment to\u00a0zap the zit away.\n\n

This piece of\u00a0advice may sound quite strange now that we\u00a0use our phones for almost everything we\u00a0do\u00a0\u2014 especially when it\u00a0comes to\u00a0taking photos. However,\u00a0the results of\u00a0the study\u00a0of\u00a0Linda Henkel from Fairfield University have ascertained that\u00a0trying to\u00a0capture everything on\u00a0your camera will actually make you miss a\u00a0lot of\u00a0important details.\n
The problem is\u00a0that when you take a\u00a0photo, your attention is\u00a0focused on\u00a0the photo itself instead of\u00a0what you are shooting. As\u00a0a\u00a0result, you will have a\u00a0memorable photo or\u00a0a\u00a0video but your real impressions will be\u00a0quite dull.\n
During the experiment, undergraduate students were told to\u00a0take a\u00a0stroll around a\u00a0museum and take notes or\u00a0photos of\u00a0objects they liked. The next day, their memory of\u00a0these objects was tested.\n

Many people think that vitamin\u00a0C can keep their immune from catching a\u00a0cold or\u00a0that biologically active additives (BAAs) can fully replace a\u00a0professional treatment plan. While this is\u00a0not entirely truth, the FDA believes that some foods and dietary supplements can actually help with preventing people from getting sick.\n
If\u00a0you have a\u00a0balanced diet, it\u2019s pointless for you to\u00a0also take\u00a0vitamins\u00a0since you already receive the necessary quantity of\u00a0them from your food. Additional vitamins are recommended for people with a\u00a0vitamin deficiency.\n
Biologically active\u00a0additives\u00a0are used as\u00a0a\u00a0source of\u00a0active substances if\u00a0your body lacks them. Of\u00a0course, it\u2019s good that we\u00a0restore the balance of\u00a0the substances we\u00a0are lacking, but you should understand that BAAs are not medicine.\n

1. Don\u2019t put a\u00a0charging phone under a\u00a0pillow.\n\n
\n
A\u00a0charging phone under a\u00a0pillow can result in\u00a0a\u00a0fire. The problem is\u00a0that a\u00a0charging phone can get hot. Despite the fact that newer cell phone models have improved, there are still smartphones with batteries that can significantly increase the overall temperature. This means that the device or\u00a0the charger cord can catch fire. If\u00a0the charging phone is\u00a0under your pillow, you risk getting hurt.\n
Newton NH\u00a0Fire Department\u00a0warns\u00a0everyone who cares for their safety to\u00a0never put a\u00a0charging phone under a\u00a0pillow.\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
