Sleep
We all need our beauty sleep to feel alive and well, but sleeping enough and on regular hours are more important than that. Many important functions rely on regularity, and sleeping hours are an important part. Different people have different needs, but most require 7-8 hours sleep to be fully functional. One, or a few days with less sleep is fine, but if you loose out on those precious hours too long, it will affect you.
Eating
What and when you eat is essential for your health. Eating much fast food, candy, too much meat or sugar can and will affect your health. Just as with sleeping, regularity is very important when it comes to eating. Regular meals will actually help you loose weight, besides keeping you sharp much longer. No more dips in blood sugar, causing you to eat that candy bar.
Nutrition
Eating healthy comes with other advantages, but for those who doesn鈥檛 adding some greens to your diet will help you stay young and healthy. Greens with bright colors (red, orange, green and yellow) are packed with good vitamins and minerals of all kinds. If you feel you don鈥檛 get enough, try some vitamin supplements.
Emotions
Your emotions are an important part of you and your health. Keeping them tucked inside you can cause serious stress symptoms later in life. The body needs to release its tension some, if you do not let it it will backfire. Everyone knows laughter prolongs your life, but few know crying to be equally important. An easy way to get in touch with your feelings or at least pretend you are is to watch movies. Sad, exiting or funny; iot doesn鈥檛 matter. The body will respond to those emotions in a similar way it would to true feelings. So, make it part of your daily routine to watch a funny video.
Exercise
This has been talked about for ever. We all know exercise is good for you in so many ways. Yet many people still sit around all day, doing nothing. This is perhaps the biggest threat to public health; Lack of exercise. You do not need to go to the gym twice a week to be exercising, just getting up and moving a bit will go a long way. Finding something fun yet physically challenging is the best way of ensuring enough exercise. If its fun, its easy and who knows, you might get some laughter out of it.
Vacation
Travel as much as you can afford. There are few things more relaxing than vacations, and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered. When you relax, your body relaxes and you give it a great opportunity to mend itself.
Stop dieting
If you have a serious weight problem, seek professional help. People who are constantly dieting rarely get enough vitamins, minerals OR energy for the body to recover. There are ways of loosing weight without eating shady diet pills or starving yourself.Do living habits and behaviors contribute to receding hairline or hairloss?
It is 95% genetics- but yes- certian living habits may contribute to early hair loss- such as stress, poor diet, illnesses. Lack of sleep- not directly but if because you don't get enough sleep you are also stressed then it may cause early balding. Check your father and grandfathers hair- if they went bald or are balding chances of you balding are good and there's no way to stop nature. If they both have a good head of hair don't worry. Everyone's hair changes as we age reguardless of genetics and a bit of thinning is a given. Hope this helps. And get some sleep.
I'm sure living habits do affect it somehow, but I'm not sure about saying anything other than don't pluck out every hair in your head...
