We are a product of habit, and it is easy to understand why. It is comfortable to have a fixed routine, and perhaps a sense of control.
Everyone has their own schedule, routines and habits, but we don’t always think about how some trivial aspects of our daily habits affect our health.
You may know that certain habits are harmful, such as unhealthy eating, spending too much time in front of the TV, and so on. However, some seemingly harmless daily habits are causing lasting damage to our body.
