3 Bad Hobbies for Health

Favorite activity can make you happier, but not as if the so-called hobby is an activity such as eating junk food, working until late at night, and interact with the media. Not only affects the physical health, mental condition you will also experience interference. According to psychology professor Mary Jane Rotheram-Borus of the University of California, Los Angeles.

Research carried out Rotheram-Borus shows, consumption of fast food intake can provide about 1,000 calories more than he should. While excessive exposure to media, either by reading magazines, tabloids, and catalogs as well as the use of cell phones, computers, and gadgets, can make a normal interaction with others on the wane. Plus, to meet both these needs, people tend to work long hours and willing to be a commuter in order to get a larger income.

In order to better quality of life, Rotheram-Borus recommend to return to the tradition of eating at home. "Get used to eating at home at night, instead of in restaurants," he said. Consider your food intake, choose healthy foods, and keep unhealthy foods from your refrigerator. "If stuff like that available at home, you surely will be encouraged to eat it," said Rotheram-Borus.

In addition, you also need to balance life by reducing overtime and spend more time to those nearby and families. "It's important when you have kids. Because, how do you expect the children will be a generation of healthy and balanced, if their parents work more than 12 hours a day," said Rotheram-Borus.
