Not such they and harmful, these bad habits

Remember. Pushkin: "The habit is given to us from above"? However, habits are different: it is one thing to brush your teeth before going to bed and quite another to bite your nails, for example. From childhood we are told that picking your nose, biting your nails, not hiding burps or gases, is harmful, and also indecent. However, there are specialists who claim that bad habits can be useful.


Gnaw nails

So, Dr. Hilary Longhurst, consultant immunologist at Bart's NHS Trust, argues that the habit of biting dirty nails leads to an increase in immunity, that our immune system remembers the infection that gets into the body when nibbling the nails and itself finds ways to deal with it, and even at the next infection in the body, copes with it much faster than the first time. Thus, Dr. Longhurst confirms, with the exception of oblique glances, the habit of biting the nails is not so terrible. The primitive people, without scissors, skillfully nibbled their nails, so that they did not interfere with hunting and would not scratch their master. So the habit of biting noggings has a long historical roots. And psychologists say that the habit of gnawing has a purely psychological origin, their observations have shown that people gnaw their nails when they think about something or are experiencing great stress. There are also those to whom this occupation simply gives pleasure.

Belching

The eructation itself is unpleasant, a loud eructation in the presence of outsiders in general can seriously damage the reputation of a well-bred person. It arises from the accumulation of gases in the stomach. Educationgas provokes fat-rich food, as well as chips and cream sauce. Alcoholic smoking speeds up a process called duodeno-gastric reflux. The main reason for the development of duodenal-gastric reflux is a disruption in the work of the gastric catheter. And if you deliberately restrain the gases, this, in the end, can lead not only to the cattle in the chest, but also to the ulcer of the stomach or duodenum.

Eating - a normal part of digestion, experts say, and suppressing it can cause serious problems.

The habit of snapping fingers

... causes many people to flinch from a loud crack in the joints. Sound is believed to originate from air congestion that forms in the synovial fluid that surrounds each joint; the cracking arises when this air pops up when bending the joints. And although this crunch annoys many, there is an opinion that it increases the flexibility of the joints and even treats arthritis ... But according to Dr. Chris Edwards, consultant-rheumatologist at Southampton General Hospital, this bad habit is useless. There were even studies when a group of people snapped their fingers from time to time. At the end of this period, it turned out that their joints did not differ from the joints of people in the control group.

Eating in bed

If you are sick, then the meal is justified. In all other cases, eating in bed is a bad tone. But Dr. Reed believes that only in bed can one tastefully and calmly enjoy your favorite food. In our fast food time, the food from the ritual turned into a quick bite that harms one's own stomach and intestines, which, for not attending to oneself, take revenge on the stomach, bowel disorder, and the same eructations and gases. Oudoktor Reed has his own recommendations: if you eat in bed, then overlay yourself with the bowls and sit upright, because crouching, you press on your stomach, which can cause its frustration.

It turns out that the so-called "bad habits" are the physiological processes performed by ourorganism and laid down in it at the genetic level. After spitting (coughing), belching and noisy release of winds - is, in fact, the removal of the isochetical slags, and, therefore, the processes necessary. No wonder they say: "It's natural, it's not ugly!" Just modern rules of good tones consider them purely intimate and it is simply indecent to celebrate them in public. But nibbling nails or eating in bed - habits acquired, you can get rid of them. If you want and try ...
