Office ladies spend most of their time "living" at work, and they all have some common problems. Although these are just small actions, minor issues, or small preferences, and may seem harmless, diseases often accumulate over time. Here are six bad habits summarized:
Bad Habit 1: Wearing high heels from nine to five without taking them off.
White-collar women often pair high heels with professional attire, wearing them from the moment they leave home in the morning. Even after work, whether watching a movie or shopping, they remain in their high heels until finally removing them at home, wearing them for over ten hours straight.
Harmful Reasons:
Wearing high heels for extended periods keeps the feet in an unnatural state, increasing pressure on the arches without any rest, forcing the toes to bear excessive pressure. Over time, this can lead to conditions such as hallux valgus and collapsed arches, causing increasing pain that may eventually require surgical correction.
Bad Habit 2: Wearing a mobile phone around the chest.
To make answering calls more convenient, many keep their phones hanging directly over their chests.
Harmful Reasons:
While the debate continues in academic circles regarding the extent of mobile phone radiation's harm, keeping it close to the chest and abdominal cavity will inevitably have some effects.
Bad Habit 3: Reapplying makeup without first removing it.
Reapplying makeup several times a day, simply grabbing the compact mirror, powder puff, and lipstick to apply fresh makeup quickly and efficiently.
Harmful Reasons:
Cosmetics, while enhancing our appearance, also expose the skin to dust and bacteria from the environment, especially when returning from outdoor activities where dirt has already settled into makeup products. Combined with skin secretions like oil and sweat, the contamination level is significant. If makeup is reapplied without removal, these contaminants are covered directly onto the skin, preventing it from breathing. Additionally, movement of tools like the powder puff can drive impurities deeper into pores, irritating the skin and potentially leading to blackheads and acne.
Bad Habit 4: Drinking too much coffee, strong tea, and other beverages while neglecting plain water.
Harmful Reasons:
The metabolism of coffee, strong tea, and other beverages differs from that of plain water, making them unable to replace its functions, particularly its detoxifying properties. While coffee and strong tea have diuretic and stimulating effects, they can also cause cellular dehydration, disrupting the body's balance if consumed excessively.
Bad Habit 5: Sharing lipsticks with others.
When new lipstick products hit the market, office colleagues often try them out by applying them to their lips to see if they suit them.
Harmful Reasons:
The saying "disease enters through the mouth" is well-known. Bacteria on shared lipsticks can enter the body during talking, drinking, or swallowing. Using someone else's lipstick casually opens the door to cross-infection of bacteria.
Bad Habit 6: Wearing headphones during work hours.
You believe that wearing headphones at work prevents disturbing others, allowing you to listen to music discreetly without your boss noticing.
Harmful Reasons:
Headphones sit directly in the ear canal, transmitting sound at zero distance, avoiding interference from other sounds and directly stimulating the auditory nerve. Prolonged use at high volumes can lead to hearing loss.
