5 Deadly Mistakes That Can Cut Your Life Short

Five deadly mistakes that are secretly shortening your life Want to live a long, healthy life? Most people focus on what to do, but today we are exposing the things you absolutely need to avoid if you want to maximize your lifespan. Stick around to the end because number one is going to be a habit that almost everyone does daily without realizing the long term damage. Number five Improper food handling Very important. A silent killer. Handling raw meat the wrong way could be shaving off years of your life. Improper handling of chicken can lead to dangerous bacteria like Salmonella and E. Coli. You hear it about the news all day long. That's what it is. What do you do? Cook poultry to at least 165 degree Fahrenheit and disinfect poultry. Surface immediately. 4. Dirty cell phones More bacteria than your toilet seats. Would you eat off your toilet seats? No. Then why are you touching your phone and then eating without washing your hands? Your phone carries 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, and that is true. Bacteria from phones transfer to your face, hands and food, leading to infections. What do you do instead? Clean your phone with disinfectant wipes at least once a day. More important than washing your hands is cleaning your phone literally? I'm not just kidding. 3. Nail biting a hidden health risk Think nail biting is harmless? Think again. Your nails trap bacteria like Streptococcus and E. Coli, which go straight into your mouth. This can lead to stomach infections, gum disease and even weakened immunity. What do you do instead? Trim your nails regularly and try a bitter tasting polish to break that habit. 2. Nose picking damaging more than just your image. It is gross, but did you know it's also dangerous? Picking your nose can cause small, small tears inside your nostrils, allowing bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Studies show it increases your risk of pneumonia and respiratory infections. What to do instead? Use a saline spray or humidifier to keep nasal passages clear. 1. Q tips in your ear Stop doing that now. This everyday habit could be damaging your hearing permanently. Q tips push the wax deeper, leading to blockages and even infections. Worst case, you can puncture your eardrum and cause hearing loss. What do you do instead? Use ear drops or see a professional for safe ear cleaning. Avoiding these five things can dramatically improve your health and longevity.
