• 8 worst habits according to ayurveda
• Introduction
• Bad habits are something that everyone has. They
  can be healthy and beneficial at times but they
  can also cause harm if not controlled. The
  following are the most common bad habits,
  according to ayurveda
• Smoking
• Smoking is bad for your health. It causes lung
  cancer, heart disease and strokes, kidney disease
  and diabetes.
• Its also bad for your skin because of the
  chemicals in cigarettes that can damage it.
• Smoking can cause tooth loss and make it
  difficult to breathe properly if you have a cold
  or allergies. It also makes you look older than
  you really are!
• Lack of sleep and stress
• Sleep and stress are two of the most important
  things for your health. Lack of sleep can cause
  weight gain, depression, heart problems, stroke
  and even infertility.
• According to ayurveda there are six main causes
  of lack of sleep
• Too much work at home or office
• Job stress
• Too much eating or drinking before going to bed
  (including caffeine)

• Excessive consumption of caffeine
• Caffeine is a stimulant that can lead to anxiety,
  depression and insomnia. It also has been shown
  to increase blood pressure, headaches and stomach
  aches. Excessive consumption of caffeine can
  result in irritability as well.
• Heavy consumption of sugar and refined foods
• Sugar is a known carcinogen, and it has been
  linked to obesity.
• Refined foods are bad for your health because
  they contain empty calories that do not provide
  any nutritional value.
• Sugary desserts, candies and other sweets are
  loaded with sugar (fructose) which can lead
• to high blood sugar levels in the body that could
  lead to Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease
  respectively. This means that you will have
  problems managing these conditions if you consume
  too much sugar every day!
• Excessive consumption of salt and alcohol.
• The two worst habits according to Ayurveda are
  excessive consumption of salt and alcohol.
• Salt is not good for you because it causes an
  imbalance in your body. It can lead to high blood
  pressure, which can cause heart disease, stroke
  or kidney failure if left untreated. Alcohol
  meanwhile increases stress on the liver and other
  organs that need rest rather than activity - this
  is why people with chronic fatigue syndrome often
  find themselves drinking excessively in order to
  feel better! If you want to live a long life with
  excellent health then try avoiding these two
  things altogether!
• Eating right before sleeping.
• Eating right before sleeping is a bad habit. It
  can lead to heartburn and indigestion, which are
  common symptoms of sleeping disorders. It also
  causes weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure
  and even cancer.
• Avoid these habits and increase your overall
  health.

• Fresh vegetables are the best way to get all the
  vitamins, minerals and fiber you need. They
  provide your body with more than just nutrition
  they also help keep things running smoothly. The
  following benefits can be obtained by eating
  healthy amounts of fresh vegetables
• A healthy heart - Veggies contain iron which
  helps to strengthen blood vessels and prevent
  cardiovascular disease (CVD). Iron is essential
  for good circulation because it works as a
  carrier for oxygen in the body so that it can
  reach every cell of your body. If theres not
  enough iron in circulation then it could lead to
  anemia or hemochromatosis which means excess
  accumulation of iron within organs such as liver
  or pancreas causing damage there too!
• Eating too much meat, fish and eggs
• Eat less meat, fish and eggs. The most common
  source of protein in Ayurveda is pulses
  (otherwise known as legumes), which include
  beans, lentils and peas. Other good sources
  include nuts and seeds tofu whole grains such
  as brown rice vegetables like broccoli or kale
  fruit such as applesauce or grapeseed oil on
  salads.
• Use more vegetables and fruit instead of refined
  sugars to sweeten your food intake during the day
  so that you get more vitamins from them without
  adding calories from sugar!
• Not drinking enough water
• Drink 8 cups of water a day
• Drink more water if you are active
• Drink more water if you are sick
• Drink more water if it's hot outside or humid.
  If your body is cold, drink some warm liquids
  like tea or coffee, but not alcohol. Also avoid
  caffeinated beverages like sodas and energy
  drinks because they can dehydrate the body.
  Finally, avoid drinking any kind of
  sugar-sweetened beverage as these will only make
  your cravings worse!
• Eating a lot of fried food
• Eating a lot of fried food is the number one
  worst habit according to ayurveda.
• Fried food is high in fat and calories, but also
  sodium and cholesterol. Saturated fats are also
  associated with heart disease. Trans fats are
  often used as a cheaper alternative to butter or
  oil that can be used in frying foods like french
  fries or chicken wings.
• Carbohydrates should not be eaten when you want
  to lose weight because they will make you feel
  hungry again quickly, which means more carb
  cravings later on down the line
• when your body needs protein for energy instead!

• Blaming other people for your bad luck and
  unwellness is a sign of low self-esteem. People
  who blame others are not confident that they can
  handle their own problems and situations, so they
  tend to seek help from others.
• However, blaming others can also be a sign of low
  self-confidence because it makes us feel like we
  don't have the ability or knowledge to deal with
  our own issues ourselves.
• Eating too much sugar and sweet foods
• Sugar is not just bad for you, it's also a
  carbohydrate. When we eat too much sugar, our
  body becomes dependent on it and cannot function
  properly without it. In Ayurveda, sugar is called
  rajasic (meaning "desire-oily") because it causes
  us to crave more food than we actually need.
• Sugar is found in many foods like pasta sauce and
  salad dressing as well as soft drinks such as
  Coca Cola or Pepsi Max in fact there are so
  many ways to get addicted to this substance that
  researchers have been looking into its effects on
  the brain since before we even knew what a brain
  was!
• According to Ayurveda practitioners like Dr David
  Frawley who wrote about his experiences with
  ayurvedic medicine in his book 'Vasant Prakash
  Secrets Of A Yogi' he said "I learned from my
  elders how important regular exercise was for
  keeping your mind clear but also how dangerous it
  could be if you overdo things like running
  marathons every day."
• Aversion to work or any form of hard work.
• Avoiding work or any form of hard work.
• If you are a person who likes to do things on
  their own, then Ayurveda has something for you!
  How does it help? Well, if your mind is not
  focused on doing tasks and getting things done
  then it can lead to various problems like lack of
  motivation, low energy levels etc. To avoid this
  habit try not working on days where there's no
  deadline assigned by someone else (this includes
  clients). Also remember that if something doesn't
  feel like work then don't do it!
• You should avoid these habits if possible because
  they can cause harm
• Ayurveda is a science that has been around for
  thousands of years. It's a holistic system of
  medicine that treats the whole person, not just
  their physical symptoms. Ayurveda is not a
  religion, it's just an ancient science!
