8 Healthy Habits is a waste of time

If dealing with healthy habits, everyone would have pakemnya respectively. Even though it also depends on the physical and mental condition of each person so not always be generalized.
But there are times when the mother, friends and lovers may suggest you make some healthy habits that often did these things because he thinks it is good for you too. But you know if it's not quite true?
Many health habits are 'transmitted' from one person to another or even from advertisements in the mass media that encourage you to think it's also healthy habits and appropriate for you. But it's not quite true benefits and a waste of your time for this.


For more details, see the exposure of 8 healthy habits are a waste of time as quoted by MSNBC, Wednesday (13/6/2012) below.
A. Dentists see your 2 year timeThis suggestion actually came first from an old toothpaste ad in the U.S.. But there is no scientific evidence behind the recommendation. A review of 29 studies in 2003 found no conclusive evidence to support the need to go to the dentist every 6 months.
If your teeth and gums healthy, a dentist once a year was enough to capture the various problems that may arise in your mouth, says James Bader, DDS, MPH, a research professor at the school of dentistry, University of North Carolina.
Just do not wait longer than that. This is because according to a study presented at the meeting of the American Heart Association last year found that clean your teeth to a dental clinic once a year, reduce your risk of heart attack by 24 percent and stroke by 13 percent.
2. Do not Eat After 8 Night JamCalories that can not read the clock. For him, there was no difference between the hours of 6:30 am and 8:20 tonight, says Susan Bowerman, MS, RD, assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. Moreover let the starving stomach can disrupt your sleep patterns.
In fact, a new study suggests you should eat before bedtime if you exercise at night or if you are over 60 years. However, at dinner on top at 8 pm, provide protein foods that have more fuel for the synthesis of muscle in your body.
It also helps fight the effects of muscle loss associated with age.
How much protein is needed? A recent study in the American Journal of Physiology found that older men who ate 35 grams of whey protein muscle growth more than other elderly people who eat 10 or 20 grams.
3. Undergoing Whole Body Scan in Each YearAccording to Jonathan Goldin, MD, a radiologist at UCLA, this scan is useful, especially for the abdomen and pelvis. But the scans often miss the existing lesions, giving a false sense of security or "discover" something that was not there so it causes unnecessary anxiety and more tests again.
Scans can help detect lung cancer and coronary-artery calcium, but these tests are only recommended for people over 45 years who have risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. If your condition does not like it, you do not need to scan.
4. Throw away the milk that's been ExpiryThe date stamped on the packaging is the date that tells us that after that date through the milk can not be sold. Milk is still fresh a week after that date so that you can still use it, go Bowerman.
If you drink sour milk, may only be a problem with the taste but will not hurt your stomach. It thickens the milk can still be cheese.
5. Eat a lot to Flu Get WellThere was no scientific evidence behind this statement, said Jack M. Gwaltney Jr., MD, chief of the division of epidemiology and virology at the University of Virginia. "In the short term, what you eat, it had no effect at all against the flu and its treatment," he added.
"Drink plenty of fluids and eat whatever you like." You can eat chicken soup has been shown to reduce the buildup of mucus, and sore throat.
6. Do not Eat Anything at FeverThis statement is also wrong. High temperature due to fever increases your metabolism, causing you to burn calories. If your condition is weak, the disease will wander again.
So try to replace your calories any way you can, the advice Ben Ansell, MD, director of the UCLA Comprehensive Health Program. "Even more important to keep your fluid intake, at least two times more than usual."
Fever may also be caused by a number of diseases, so monitor the condition and if necessary go to the doctor if it's your body temperature reaches 105 degrees or a fever lasts for several days.
7. Using a Hard Brush for Cleaning Teeth Can You BetterSoft toothbrush can clean just as good with a hard brush. A soft brush also causes less damage to teeth and gums, bright Mendelovitz Philip, DDS, a professor of dentistry at the UCLA School of Medicine.
8. Brushing your teeth twice a dayBrush your teeth once a day is enough. "Plaque takes 24 hours to harden," said Dr. Mendelovitz. "One time brushing my teeth in a way that is really nice once every 24 hours is better than two times the toothbrush in a way that mediocre."
But commit to spend at least 2 minutes to brush your teeth and do it before bed. This is because the saliva that can help fight plaque, its production decreases while you sleep, explained Dr. Bader.
But remember this is just about plaknya. Bad breath will still show up in the morning so immediately brush your teeth or use mouthwash when you wake up.
