Everyone has his or her own living habits. Building good living habits is important. Why are some habits better than others? Let’s find out.

    1    

Corn, sweet potato, soybean and oats are all coarse food grains (粗粮). Eating coarse food grains is good for your health. They have a lot of dietary fiber (食用纤维). It’s good for your stomach. You can cook them in porridge or make drinks with them.

Why shouldn’t we bend our heads for a long time?

Keeping your head bent down for long is not good for your neck. Why is that? It’s because you put too much pressure on your neck. It’s like putting two watermelons (about 27 kilograms) on your neck.     2    

Why shouldn’t we rub (揉) our eyes?

Your hands are much dirtier than you think. When you rub your eyes, the bacteria (细菌) on your hands might go into your eyes.     3     Clean them with running water instead.

After exercising, your skin is sweating (流汗) and your heart is beating fast. A cold-water bath will stimulate (刺激) them too much.     5    . You’d better wait for a while until your body cools down. Then you can take a warm-water bath to relax.

7 . There are certain foods which should never be stored(储存)in the fridge. Some of them may surprise you.

    1     The cold temperature will make it hard. If you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can store them in it.

We all love to have tomatoes.     2     The cold air in the fridge stops the ripening(成熟)process. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste. For best results, keep them out.

    3     It needs no help from us. Putting it in your fridge will in fact increase the speed of the crystallization(结晶). This will make honey harder or nearly impossible to use.

If you haven’t opened your watermelons, then there’s no need to put them in your fridge. Research has shown that watermelons can be stored in room temperature.       4     Watermelons that have been cut open should be put in the fridge. What’s more, they should be covered.

Cucumber(黄瓜)enjoys room temperature.     5     Cool temperature can make cucumber’s skin(表皮)go bad faster, so find a dry and cool place at room temperature for your cucumber.

9 . Thanks to China’s large population of Internet users, many foreign bloggers have seen their popularity grow in recent years. German influencer（网红）Pamela Reif is one such blogger. She rose to fame at the age of 16, when she started posting pictures of her lifestyle and fitness routine online.

In early June, Pamela uploaded her first video, “12-Minute Happy Sweat Workout,” on Chinese social media. Within just two months, Pamela gained nearly 1.5 million followers on Bilibili. To date, her online videos have been viewed over 20 million times.

In a recent interview, Pamela spoke about her journey from schoolgirl to influencer. “I was basically just a normal teenager at school. Instagram was becoming cool so I started uploading food pictures and gym selfies（健身房自拍）. I was just doing all this without any plan. It grew from there,” the 24-year-old said.

Pamela has shown us that training and diet go hand in hand when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. So what does she eat and how does she exercise?

In her daily life, Pamela follows what she calls the “right diet”. She wants people to think about sensible eating — not just for the body, but also for the globe. It is all about sustainability（可持续发展）. She points to the fact that eating meat puts huge pressure on the environment. While she does eat meat, she tries to keep the majority of her diet vegetarian.

Pamela also puts a lot of effort into health and fitness. She does this by targeting（以……为目标）specific muscle groups in her body. And best of all, she works out without using any gym equipment. This allows her to get the same quality workout wherever she happens to be at the time.

Do you often drink fruit juice and think it is good for your health? However, a recent study published in a US medical journal（期刊）shows that drinking too much juice—even 100-percent natural fruit juice—will increase your risk of early death.     1    

According to scientists, drinking too much fruit juice is just like drinking too much soda（汽水）—they both have a lot of sugar Taking in too much sugar can cause many health problems, such as weight problems, heart disease（病）and so on. Some people might say there are also vitamins（维生素）in fruit juice.     2    

In the study. “sugary drinks” were defined（定义）to include both sugar-sweetened（添加糖的）drinks like soda and 100-percent natural fruit juice. Scientists found that if people get 10-percent or more of their energy from sugary drinks every day, they will be 44-percent more likely to die from heart disease.     3    

As Jean Welsh, one of the researchers in the study, told CNN, “Sugary drinks, whether soft drinks or fruit juice, should be limited（限制）.”     4     In this way, fewer people will buy sugary drinks because of their higher prices.

But how much is acceptable? Here are the suggestions from scientists.     5    Adults and children older than 6 should not drink more than 230 ml every day.
