15 Everyday Habits That Are Ruining Your Health - Reader's Digest
Hold your nose when you sneeze: The pressure backs up and you can damage the sinuses, throat, back of the nose, or chest.

Putting your purse on the table: This puts germs from where your purse has been and what you've touched, on the table.

Keeping your wallet in your back pocket: Sitting on it causes your buttocks to be uneven which causes back and hip pain.

Using a hand dryer: New studies show that using a hand dryer in a public restroom actually blows germs back on to your hands.

Eating before bedtime? Sleeping on a full stomach can give you acid reflux.

Sleeping in contacts: The CDC reports that 33% of adults wear their contacts while sleeping which raises the risk of corneal infection.

Not washing your face before bed or after exercise: Washing removes sweat and germs before you sleep with your face in them.

Washing your hands in water that's too hot: This strips oil from your skin causing good breeding ground for bacteria.

Applying nail polish without ventilation: This can cause certain hormone disrupting toxins to seep into your body. Inhaling the fumes is dangerous.

Eating out a lot: To avoid toxic chemicals in food packaging and processing materials...avoid eating out.

Doing the wrong kind of stretch before exercise: If you only hold a muscle in one position and not stretch it properly, it can result in impaired performance.

Using the same cutting board for meat and vegetables: This spreads salmonella to the salad.  

Defrosting at room temperature: Bacteria packaged with the freeze multiplies rapidly at room temperature.

Being glued to your phone: Information overload from the internet and social media negatively impact your working memory.

Holding in farts: Passing gas is a gross habit that's really healthy. Repressing farts can cause bloating, indigestion, and heart burn.
