6 office bad habits that shorten women's lives

White-collar women "live" in the office most of the day, and they all have some "common problems". Although they are just small movements, minor ailments, and hobbies, and harmless, they may bring you a basket of health troubles that cause you headaches one day.

Bad habit 1: Wearing high heels from 9 to 5

In order to match their professional attire, white-collar women put on high heels before going out every morning. They cannot take them off even when watching movies or shopping in the mall after get off work. They can only take them off when they get home, and they wear high heels for more than ten hours.

Cause of harm: Wearing high heels for a long time will put your feet in an unnatural state for a long time, the pressure on the arch of the foot will increase, without any rest, and the toes will be forced to bear too much pressure. Over time, symptoms such as hallux valgus and collapsed arches will appear, becoming increasingly painful, and ultimately requiring surgery to correct.

Change: Prepare a pair of comfortable flat leather shoes in the office and enjoy 8 hours of foot relaxation. Don't wear the same pair of shoes for more than 3 consecutive days. This will keep your feet clean and allow the shoes to "recover" their strength.

Bad habit 2: Hanging the phone on the chest

In order to answer calls conveniently, always keep your mobile phone on your chest.

Cause of harm: Although the academic community has been arguing about the extent of the harm caused by mobile phone radiation, hanging it in front of the chest, close to the chest and abdominal cavity, will eventually have some impact.

Change: Prepare a mobile phone holder and place it on your desk, which is both beautiful and convenient. Or put your phone in a drawer and put it in your bag when you go out.

Bad habit 3: Reapplying makeup without removing it

I touch up my makeup several times a day. Every time I pick up a makeup mirror, powder puff, and lipstick, I do it directly. It's quick and easy.

Cause of harm: While cosmetics are our face, they are also the first step for the skin to welcome external dust and bacteria. Especially when you come back from outside work, the dust has already deeply settled in the cosmetics, coupled with the oil and sweat secreted by the skin, the degree of pollution can be imagined.

If you put on makeup without removing it, these impurities will be directly covered on the skin, making it impossible for the skin to breathe. Moreover, with the movement of tools such as powder puffs, they may penetrate into the pores, irritate the skin, and cause blackheads, acne, etc.

Change: Prepare a bottle of quick makeup-removing facial cleanser in the office. Be sure to remove makeup thoroughly before reapplying it. After removing makeup, try to let your skin breathe for a few minutes before applying makeup again. If time doesn’t permit, just apply some lipstick to add a finishing touch.

Bad habit 4: Drinking too much coffee, strong tea and other beverages but ignoring plain water

Cause of harm: The metabolism of beverages such as coffee and strong tea in the body is different from that of boiled water. They cannot replace boiled water, especially the detoxification function of boiled water. Although coffee and strong tea have diuretic and refreshing effects, they can also cause cellular dehydration. Drinking too much will affect the balance of the body.

Change it: In addition to beverages, you need to drink at least 1500 ml of boiled water every day. You should avoid drinking too much coffee or strong tea. Calculated as 250 ml per cup, the daily intake should be limited to 2 cups.

Bad Habit 5: Sharing Lipstick with Others

The sisters in the office all tried the newly launched lipstick product on their lips to see if it was suitable for them.

Cause of harm: The saying "diseases enter through the mouth" is not unfamiliar to us. Although lipstick is applied on the lips, as you talk, drink water, swallow, etc., the bacteria on the portal will seize the opportunity to get in. Using other people's lipstick casually will open the door to cross-infection of bacteria.

Change it: It is recommended to use lipstick exclusively. If you are too embarrassed to let someone "molest" your lipstick, you can generously say: Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Alternatively, simply scrape off the top 2 to 3 mm of the lipstick.

Bad habit 6: Wearing headphones during work hours

You think that wearing headphones while working can avoid disturbing people around you, and even if you take a break to listen to music, your boss won't notice.

Cause of harm: Earphones are hung in the external auditory canal, transmitting sound to the ear at zero distance, avoiding interference from other sounds and directly stimulating the ear nerves. Excessive volume for a long time can cause hearing loss.

Change: You can replace the headphones with a small speaker. If you need to use headphones, avoid turning the volume too high. Do not use other people's headphones easily to avoid cross infection.
