Old Habits Die Hard

Routines can change – just like priorities. Try taking a different route to work. Turning left just a few blocks sooner than usual can make your trip feel twice as long. Why? Your routine changed. Folding your arms is no different – fold them casually, now try to cross them the opposite way. It feels uncomfortable, foreign – but you can adapt.

But habits tend to entrench us – like our values. That is, until new information forces us to think differently. I recently came across an article in the New York Times that addresses the possible link between hair loss and smoking. This New York Times article presses the real fact: “…whether the link is a result of tobacco toxins directly affecting the scalp, or of smoking’s causing diseases and physical alterations that speed aging” and naturally along with that, male pattern hair loss.

By now its clear that smoking is one of the most addictive habits in our culture. While the risk warnings have been in place for generations now, for many they don’t have an impact. There is enough nicotine in 4 to 5 cigarettes to kill an average adult if ingested whole. Check out more Shocking Smoking Facts if you need additional reasons to quit this otherwise die-hard habit.

Old habits are really not gonna change your damn life like cigarette smoking, alchoholic drinks, etc. If we start change our lifestyle, we might be happy and prolong our life. Thanks for this great info.
