Six bad habits will shorten a woman's life by ten years

The first harm: unprotected sex

Danger: You could be infected with a sexually transmitted disease without even realizing it.

Experts point out that about 75% of women carry chlamydia but do not have any clinical symptoms. Most women with gonorrhea only show mild symptoms, such as discomfort when urinating or yellow fluid discharge from the vagina. They do not even think that they need treatment. Unprotected sex can spread these diseases.

For men.

In addition, 80% of male patients with genital herpes will not experience obvious clinical symptoms such as pain. Further research has found that up to 75% of men are infected with human papilloma virus (HPV), which is currently the most common infectious sexually transmitted disease. It usually has no obvious symptoms, but if it is not treated promptly and is transmitted to women, it can lead to cervical cancer.

Remedy: If you don't have a habit of checking your body regularly, start doing so today. You must be open and honest with your doctor about your sexual situation. Herpes is a chronic disease that can be controlled by medication to avoid pain and infection.

The second biggest harm: love sunbathing

Hazards: Many women believe that sunbathing not only gives them a charming complexion but is also good for their health.

But don't underestimate the power of the sun. Frequent or prolonged sunbathing may also lead to skin cancer and premature aging (such as pigmentation, wrinkles, sagging skin, and broken capillaries). Although no one has proven to what extent sunbathing itself causes skin cancer, studies have shown that people who have experienced sunburn have a higher risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer.

A recent study shows that among all sunbathers, white people are three times more likely to develop melanoma.

In terms of sunbathing methods, "artificial" sunbathing is more harmful because the skin will absorb quite concentrated ultraviolet rays in a short period of time.

Remedy: There can be a latent period of 10 to 30 years from sunburn to skin cancer. So if you were sunburned as a child, you must be more vigilant now. Check your skin all over your body every month to see if there are any new moles or if any old moles have changed color or deformed. If you find any suspicious symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

At the same time, if you have a lot of moles on your body or if someone in your family who sunbathes frequently has a history of skin cancer, you should also have a professional skin check every year. And of course, there's the basics: never go into direct sunlight again without sunscreen.

The third biggest harm: often in a noisy environment

Harm: If you loved rock music when you were young, you will find that your hearing is not as good as before.

Being in a noisy environment for a long time can easily cause the auditory system to have a reduced ability to receive medium wave sounds. Sometimes you can't hear clearly what others are saying, especially when there is noise around. As people age, they become less able to respond to higher-frequency sounds, meaning they become less able to hear high-pitched sounds like doorbells and telephones.

Remedies: Hearing loss is irreversible. But we can take action to prevent further hearing loss. For example, deliberately turn down the volume when watching TV or listening to music, and wear earmuffs when using noisy electrical appliances such as vacuum cleaners.

If you experience frequent buzzing in your ears, you may have tinnitus, a common condition for people who like to blast loud music. Although there is no cure, if you experience this symptom, you should seek medical attention immediately to rule out the possibility of other diseases and learn how to relieve the symptoms.

The fourth harm: repeated weight loss

Hazards: The medical community used to believe that repeated weight loss could lead to metabolic disorders, decreased muscle density, and even sudden death, but in-depth research has shown a negative trend towards the above conclusions. However, the impact of repeated weight loss and weight gain on health is not optimistic.

A recent study from the Washington Medical Center showed that repeated weight loss can lead to a long-term decrease in the body's immunity. Although the specific reasons have not yet been identified, researchers have found that repeated weight loss can reduce cell vitality and the ability to fight colds, infections and early cancer cells.

Remedy: For overweight women, losing 4.5 kg can reduce the incidence of high blood pressure and diabetes. Losing excess fat is certainly healthier and more stylish than dragging around extra fat, but the key is how to protect your weight loss results.

First of all, we must find out the causes of obesity and abandon our past unhealthy lifestyles and habits.

Then take practical actions to lose weight scientifically and happily according to the advice of nutritionists and your own acceptance. You should control excessive eating while ensuring the daily intake of various nutrients needed by the human body.

Again, regular exercise can not only reduce stress on the human body but also promote fat burning, making the weight loss effect more significant and lasting. Last but not least, no matter how good a weight loss method is, it requires the dieter’s perseverance to cooperate.

The fifth biggest harm: alcoholism

Harm: Alcohol abuse can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, especially if there is such a patient in the immediate family.

The medical community defines binge drinking as drinking five or more beers at a time, or having a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher. Since large amounts of alcohol can kill brain nerve cells, it can lead to memory loss over time. It may also cause liver diseases such as fatty liver and cirrhosis. In severe cases, liver transplantation is required to save life.

Remedy: If you are not yet dependent on alcohol, limit yourself to one beer a day from now on. As alcohol intake decreases, the liver will most likely naturally return to its normal state. At the same time, although we cannot revive dead brain nerve cells, the brain's memory function will gradually recover as long as there is no stimulation of large amounts of alcohol.

The sixth biggest harm: smoking

Hazards: Whether you are a light smoker who smokes occasionally for social purposes, or a heavy smoker who cannot live a peaceful life without cigarettes, the harmful ingredients in cigarettes will greatly increase your risk of heart disease, lung cancer and other types of cancer. Specifically, cancer deaths caused by smoking account for 30% of all cancer deaths.

Remedy: For those who have been smoking for years or even decades, is there any way to save their health? The answer is to quit smoking.
