"Habits are recorded in our memory", – says physiologist Cindy Dastig University of Michigan. The habit of running to the store before the holidays, pushing, experience stress – it is in the blood, more precisely, in the brain. In the memory of ancestors lived experiments, when the holiday was preceded by the natural constraints: the battle for the harvest, unsafe for travel goods and gifts. Even overeating on holidays – also an ancient custom.
In Finland, during the excavation of the village of the Stone Age were found stocks gum millennia ago – chunks of sulfur. Archaeologists believe that 6 thousand years ago, people were munching on it for fun and good for the teeth. Sometimes used as an adhesive. It is surprising that it is in Finland, where was found the oldest chewing gum in the world, was invented and the most recent. Scientists at the University of Helsinki Mikko Salaspuro and Martti Marvola created a chewing gum that contains cysteine. He slowly released during chewing and neutralize substances that cause cancer of the oral cavity, esophagus and stomach. The inventors recognized that the taste of chewing gum still have to work, only if the product will be complete. So while you chew, that is.
Harm or benefit?
Thoughtful picking nose and eating the contents is considered obscene, indecent occupation. Lung specialists, Professor Frederick Bishinger from Innsbruck (Austria) with this completely disagree. I asked the society to reconsider its attitude to the habit, which is dictated, in his view, the need of the organism. First, using the finger nose can clean much better than using a handkerchief. Secondly, eating extracted – an intuitive way to strengthen the immune system. Fore accumulates a large number of bacteria that get into the intestine, begin to act as natural adjuvants. An Austrian doctor believes that parents not only have to scold children for such a habit, but encourage it. Moreover, as observations show, many fans picking his nose is a high buoyancy. Yielding to modern conventions, the doctor advises: as long as society is not accustomed to, do it alone.
Spitting over my shoulder, poplevyvanie fingers when counting money, the usual spitting – all this does not please the eye. Only in the movie "Titanic" when the hero DiCaprio teaches English lady spit on a man, was an attempt made poetry spit. But some doctors believe that spitting in angina relieves pain. But there is another view that spit out – a wasteful: contains a lot of useful substances saliva – our wealth, we must keep it to yourself.
The attitude of society to the habits of its citizens depends on the culture and ancient ideas. In China, spitting over the centuries it was considered a healthy exercise. But for two years prior to the Olympics for this event, the Government has decided to wean the population from the national habit. The streets went patrols caught and fined plevalschikov. But, they say, is little help: the Olympics took place, and the belief that we should spit out the bad, which would have remained.
I'll be back in fashion sneeze?
Sometimes the habit arises as a fashion, it is common for many, and then suddenly become obsolete and disappear. But back, as soon as it will be called back.
In Europe and the U.S. youth remembered a forgotten old – took to chew and snuff. American doctors strongly believe: chewing tobacco is not useful to smoking, and fight it as vigorously. But in Sweden, those who quit, prescribe chewing tobacco and insist on a temporary benefit of such habits.
Sniffing tobacco, which 300 years ago was considered a worthy occupation, even for young girls, medicine assesses how harmless to prochihatsya. Sneezing, incidentally, belongs to the category of classical bodily pleasures. Moreover, it clears the nose, improves blood circulation, refreshes the mind and invigorates no worse than a cup of coffee. Wonder if this slough again take root. But for this to tobacco should be "sniffed" beau monde: actors, politicians, bombshells. And put this thing in fashion.
Under the yoke of the Chief
If you are at work sometimes in the shower shouting at colleagues and cursing the boss the most recent words – this is normal. But the best word to say out loud, even though the walls, and even better, according to specialists, to write. And not in a handwritten diary, which, according to the law of genre, will fall in the eyes of an outsider, but in electronic, pre-thought up a name for himself and by providing record passwords and locks. Abusive, launched on the Internet, provides an opportunity to let off steam, and many people do so without offending others' ears and eyes. Anger, who found out, much healthier than suppressed internal dissent. However, doctors noticed that the angry and write bad words for a long time yet it is not necessary – it increases blood pressure.
From minus to plus
Bad habits – often just a signal that the person lacks confidence in himself that his self-esteem is understated, and place in life yet been found. Even smoking and drinking from a psychological point of view – an unsuccessful attempt to socialize people to become his in a given society, to find friends.
For example, biting nails. It is no accident more often than others to bite one's fingernails walk teenagers living under the stress of self-determination, finding one's place in life. Usually thirty and the habit is by itself, without treatment. If not, then you are "teenager" and stress of adult life is too strong for you. Take myself as is, or fight. Mazhte nails something bitter to educate the conditioned reflex. Or, on the advice of the American psychologist Dr. Phil, wear gloves or rubber bracelet – as punishment for the "pokey" to draw back and release it to hit you on the painful wrist. And you can buy a tennis ball, keep it in your hand and squeeze whenever teeth irresistibly to the nails.
One of the most fashionable habits of our time – to fight with him and make themselves anew. Perfectionism, the desire to do what is right and beautiful, stronger tobacco is addictive. This makes fat people become well-proportioned and inflated, smokers – forget about cigarettes and drinking – "tie" forever. However, after that, people get another life-long and not always pleasant habit – be proud of themselves.
