These 5 bad habits  are damaging your health and fitness

Smoking

Lighting up every day damages your lungs  little by little, making breathing harder  and increasing the chances of long-term  lung problems and infections

It stresses your heart

Each cigarette quietly tightens your  blood vessels, making your heart work  harder and silently, raising your chances  of heart attacks and dangerous strokes

Alcohol

Drinking too much strains your liver  without warning, slowly building fat  and scarring. This can silently lead to  serious liver disease over the years

Clouds your brain

Frequent alcohol dulls your brain power, affecting how you think, remember and react, while also increasing anxiety and poor decision making over time

Sedentary life

Getting up often keeps your blood  moving smoothly, reducing the risks linked  to high blood pressure, clots, and even  heart problems later in life

Makes you sulky and sad

Inactivity makes you moody. Small bursts of activity release happy hormones that ease stress and help you feel calmer, sharper and more motivated in your daily routine

Laziness

Sitting too long weakens your body by  slowing your metabolism, making it easier  to gain weight and harder to stay  energised during the day

Weakens your bones

Lying around too much softens your bones and muscles making your body more prone to stiffness aches and even falls as you grow older

Junk food

Snacking on processed food increases  hidden inflammation in your body which  may raise risks for skin issues, weight gain  and even heart conditions

Drains your energy

Sugary and salty treats give quick energy  but leave you feeling more tired, moody  and sluggish, making it harder to stay  focused or active
