Bad Habits (Muscular)

4. Bad Habits? List some things people do or don't dothat can damage the body system. Describe the nature of the damage.

- Trying to lift too much weight can increase the chances of injury. If the weight you are trying to handle is too much for you to bear; then you are better off reducing the weight you're holding. When carrying something heavy, bend your legs instead of relying on your back  If you follow against this practice, you could end up with a back pain.

- Abandoning the practice to warming up and stretching properly before exercising. You have higher chances of muscle tearing and ligament strains.

- Bad postures can also cause damage to your muscles. Your sitting posture, your sleeping posture, even your walking habits can cause damage to your muscular system.

- Pushing or pulling incorrectly can also cause damage to your bones and joints.

- Without knowing, a lot of our muscles get strained due to our daily life of stress. Not massaging your calf muscles before sleeping at night is a habit we should stop, because massaging your calf muscles smoothens the blocked blood circulation.

- Similar to the skeletal system, we need the right amount of exercise to maintain the strength of our bones. Too much exercise is bad for your bones, yet too little is bad your bones and health. We need to exercise the right amount to assure ourselves that our bones stay strong and healthy, also with the assistance of drinking milk regularly.
