Bad habits sometimes have surprisingly good sides.
1. Don't make your bed
According to a study by Kingston University, dust mites, fungi and bacteria survive less well in an open bed than in a neatly smoothed bed. The warmer the environment, the better these pathogens thrive. So from now on, leave your duvet open.
2. Skipping your abs round
Even if you do nothing but abdominal exercises all day, it won't give you a blocky belly. Burning fat locally does not exist. A study from the University of Virginia shows that you need about 250,000 crunches to burn half a kilo of fat. You burn more calories and get fit faster by targeting large muscle groups, so your leg and back muscles and the buttocks.
3. Check your mail in the evening
If it's hard to get out of work, it's better not to do it. But when you check your mail at fixed times, for example on Sunday evening, it can also give you peace of mind. Then you know what to expect on Monday. Visser:“Checking your e-mail should not become a routine activity and should be at the expense of your social contacts. But when your partner reads the newspaper, you can dive into your inbox.”
