The topic that we will discuss today has been raised more than once by public figures, and representatives of the healthcare system, and educators, and many other people. But no matter how much we talk about what harmful bad habits are, there will always be people who want to harm not only themselves, but also those around them. Let's look at the most harmful addictions. Find out what is bad habits. Perhaps this will allow at least a few people to take the right path and be healthy physically and mentally.
Drugs
When we hear this word, we involuntarily imagine not a particularly attractive person who can no longer think of anything else. In this case, the question “why bad habits are harmful?” Does not even arise, everything is already very clear. But still, let us examine in more detail the consequences of such an attraction.
First of all, drug addicts experience severe violations of mental and physical functions. Their nose is constantly stuffy, their hands are trembling, they are disturbed by insomnia, mood changes. Any drug is a real poison that destroys the brain. As a rule, such an addiction does not lead to anything other than death - either from a broken heart or due to bleeding due to thinning of the nasal septum. It all depends on what type of drug a person uses.
Well, does anyone want to end their life like this? This we are not talking about the environment of the addict, who suffers no less. This topic in schools should be devoted to more than one class hour. Bad habits, as a rule, begin to appear already at school age. Therefore, active work should be carried out precisely with this age group.
Alcohol
Some people drink alcohol exclusively on holidays, others prefer to relax in this way on the weekend, and still others do not think of their life without a strong drink. The influence of bad habits on a person in this case does not depend on the regularity of drinking, because it is fatal in any quantities. Alcohol contains ethanol, under the influence of which the cardiovascular and nervous systems collapse. Even if a person rarely drinks alcohol, harm is still inflicted on the body, it just happens gradually. Impotence, blood clots in the vessels, enlarged liver, a shrunken brain, diabetes, an ulcer, weak kidneys, depression - is this not a sufficient list to understand what is the effect of bad habits on health? And the more often a person drinks, the faster it destroys his body. Before raising another shot glass, imagine how the body’s cells begin to choke, the brain blocks many centers, as the blood becomes thicker, how blood clots form, and how the walls of the stomach burn. This list is not just consequences, but deadly diseases.
Smoking
What is the most annoying - what bad habits are harmful, all smokers know, but still continue to kill their body. This harm is "cumulative" - the consequences may not affect immediately, but after 10-15 years you will feel them in full force. This is lung cancer, bronchitis, coronary heart disease, infertility, brain destruction, sclerosis. Regular smoking forms a very stable craving for cigarettes, reduces not only life, but also its quality. As a rule, many schoolchildren smoke today. They are young, healthy, aware of the consequences, but, of course, confident that this will not happen to them. Not only in high school, but already in high school, teachers should devote a lot of attention to this topic, spend class hours. Bad habits should be prevented and eradicated not only through conversation. After it, the students will go out of school and take another puff. It is necessary for such an event to prepare quite awesome slides, photos of people with fatal diseases caused by smoking. It would be nice to even invite a person suffering from the consequences of smoking, so that the children, using his example, could see firsthand what this would lead to. The bad habits of schoolchildren are not yet so strong as not to try to deal with them in every possible way.
Malnutrition
Increasingly, we are talking about the consequences of the addictions described above, and at this time we absorb food that is no less harmful, and in huge quantities. People prone to overeating, severely dependent on food, need the advice of a nutritionist, psychologist, endocrinologist. This problem also needs to be solved, since when overeating, all systems and organs wear out faster, overstrain. This provokes gastrointestinal diseases, contributes to skin problems, a sedentary lifestyle, which entails a "portion" of additional ailments.
gambling addiction
With the development of technology, gambling becomes almost the biggest problem for modern people. These are slot machines, casinos, cards. Experts highlight such an addiction as a separate disease that can lead to depression, schizophrenia. The main symptom is an obsessive desire to play constantly, a person is not able to be distracted, he does not even have time to go to the toilet or eat, he just forgets about it. Behavior changes, the circle of friends is reduced, mental disorders develop. The matter is aggravated by the fact that gambling is almost inextricably linked to alcohol consumption, smoking, and drug addiction.
Internet addiction
Very often bad habits of schoolchildren begin with this problem. Is it possible today to imagine a child who does not have a computer, laptop or tablet? As a result of the research, the following problems were identified: the obsessive attraction to watching porn sites, cybersex classes, gambling, participation in auctions, etc. All this is addictive, makes a person constantly rummage through the Internet, he "falls out" of reality, and a constant presence in the virtual world contributes not only to degradation of the personality, but also to the appearance of problems with the psyche.
Diets
Despite the certain advantages of diets, there are many disadvantages. When a person observes a certain diet, the body gets used to it, then it is very difficult for him to rebuild. Because of this, the metabolism slows down, and fat begins to "settle" not where it was before, but in other places, which is also very bad. Constant rearrangements lead to problems with joints, heart, and immunity.
"Sport against bad habits"
What does this phrase mean? To better understand, you must go from the opposite. For example, smoking. As we already know, the consequence of this habit is bronchitis, and this is a debilitating cough, shortness of breath, and so on. Is it compatible with physical activity? Remember how easy you ran a hundred meters at school, and now walking up to the third floor because the elevator is broken is a terrible problem. And the fault is ... You know for yourself. Now it’s clear why sports are so categorically opposed to bad habits. After playing sports, the heart rate increases, and now add the already weak heart of the smoker here. Will have to choose. The same goes for alcohol and overeating. Well, who will take you on a team, on a long trip, to the mountains with such "baggage"? And even if they take it, it will be very difficult for you, and it will be a shame. After all, you will let everyone down. Sport is able to make a person healthy, strong, not only the body, but also the spirit, which will give a great mood and excellent health. Make the right choice, live happily ever after!
