You may have read that title and sat perplexed for a second, wondering what we mean. In short, it’s clear to see that society has benefited tremendously from a renewed sense of the positivity of keeping good health.
Because of this, many very excellent products are made available on the market, and it’s clear to see how the intent to live healthily is easier to complete than ever. However, for someone starting out, it’s very easy to go overboard on products. This is especially true for those who may have experienced ill health in the past due to their own neglect or simple misfortune.
We’d recommend that when starting out on keeping yourself healthy and well-groomed, you neglect to push too intensely in the following directions:
Washing Your Hair Too Often
Washing your hair too often can be a difficult aspect in itself. People often think that this is only applicable to long hair. Not true. It can also be for short and shoulder length hair, too. Your hair naturally produces oils and a PH that helps it grow, protects it from sunlight, and many other irritants.
If you’re not careful you can damage your hair by washing too often.
This means that despite how good your shampoo and conditioners smells, you might consider introducing days off where you only wash your hair with water, or not at all. When it comes time to wash your hair with these products, which ideally should only be a couple of times a week, you can ensure you wash diligently and well, and gain a longer vibrance of health around it.
Doing so will prevent drying your hair out, and thankfully it might then take on the luxurious shine and beauty as often advertised by the big brand grooming companies.
Antibacterial Soaps
Antibacterial soaps are something that should be considered necessary to remove from your life. This is because just like your hair, your skin has a natural PH that can defend it from infections and disease.
When you use disinfectant soaps, of course the negative bacteria can be removed, but so can the good bacteria. This means your skin has little means of fighting dirt and can dry up something terrible.
Remember, the best skincare is always natural skincare. Natural skin care remedies are developed with your bodies requirements in mind which is a sustainable method of self-care that can mean the most for you in the long term.
Yoyo Dieting & Exercise
Everyone knows that dieting and exercise are two of the core components for anyone hoping to push forward and become healthier. However, it seems that common perceptions about what is right and wrong change all the time which can be a tremendous difficulty.
Switching between diets and even exercise methods can confuse your body. So, try to avoid this as much as possible.
Did you know?
Exercising too much or with too much variant complexity can lead to over-training in beginners?
In Summary
It is important to keep in mind that in order to live a long and healthy life, one needs to change their mindset to a healthy body mindset. In addition to changing your mindset, avoid washing your hair too often, antibacterial soaps, and yoyo dieting and exercising. Choose healthy habits that support your health long-term, rather than hinder it.
