With just a few hours to 2022, it is important for everybody to make proper adjustments on the type of lifestyle to live coming next year. There are some habits which are harmful to our health, but sadly, many people have made these habits part of their lifestyle in the sense that they can't go a day without practicing them. We therefore recommend you to discontinue these unhealthy habits as the year is coming to an end for a better 2022.



1. Overthinking.






Every human being on earth is faced with a responsibility and one needs to think to come up with a solution to problems. However, most times people tend to overthink. Sometimes you need to take it easy on yourself because whether you like it or not, the solution to problems comes with taking action not only thinking. 



Furthermore, science has proved overthinking to be the cause of many health issues like anxiety, headache, depression, and body aches. It therefore becomes necessary to reduce the rate at which you think for the sake of your health.



2. Eating unhealthy foods.






People usually blame this on the economy of the country, but in most cases, it's not really the cause. With proper management, you can prepare a healthy family-sized meal with just N2000. You are advised to start eating healthy and well-prepared foods from today because it's for the betterment of your health. 



Junk foods and poorly cooked foods are among the major causes of obesity and chronic diseases, so try to reduce your intake of them coming next year.



3. Smoking.






Everything is based on a decision. Smoking may not be the easiest habit to stop because it's addictive, but considering the negative effects it has on health, it's important for you to drop this habit if you're a smoker.



Some of the most dangerous diseases on earth like cancer, stroke, heart disease, lung disease and others are caused by smoking and other factors. So, anyone who wants to live a healthy life should try as much as possible to quit smoking if it has already become a habit.



4. Not getting enough sleep.






Many people have complained about 2021 being a stressful year, but that's not really the case. This is because we make out time for ourselves, and deciding not to sleep or rest is a personal problem. There are some things we shouldn't take for granted in life, and one of those is “sleep”.



We are humans, not machines, not giving your body enough time to rest will certainly lead to a breakdown. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night will go a long way in keeping you healthy and refreshed. So, try as much as possible to get enough sleep in 2022.



5. Alcoholism.






Alcohol is harmless when taken moderately, but most people tend to abuse it. Just like smoking, excess alcohol damages your body bit by bit, and it's also very addictive. You should try to moderate your alcohol intake in 2022 for the sake of your health.



In all, starting your year with positivity and good habits is very important because it has a way of directing your goals. No matter what you do, always have it in the back of your mind that “health is wealth”.
