The video discusses several common habits and practices that may not be as beneficial as they seem.
The video starts by highlighting the importance of recognizing and challenging our daily habits, as many of them may not be as beneficial as we think. It mentions that we often do things wrong without even realizing it, such as showering too frequently, which can lead to skin problems and dry skin. The video suggests that if you shower daily, you're missing out on the essential antiperspirant use. It also advises applying deodorant after showering since most antiperspirants are applied before bed, when sweat production is less.
The video also discusses the incorrect use of sticky notes, suggesting that if you want to cross out words, you should write a series of letters over the words you want to erase, rather than drawing a straight line. This makes the letters of the original word harder to distinguish and less readable.
The video then moves on to discuss the incorrect use of bobby pins. It suggests that when you slide a bobby pin on, it should be facing down, with the flat side facing up, rather than the wavy side facing up. This position allows the bobby pin to act as a grip on the bottom of your hair, preventing it from sliding out.
The video also discusses the incorrect use of ceiling fans for heating the home. It suggests that reversing the direction of the fan and slowing it down can draw in cold air and push down the warm air in the room.
The video also discusses the incorrect way of holding wine glasses. It suggests that your fingers should remain firmly on the stem of the glass to prevent the smell of your fingers from interfering with the flavors of the wine.
Lastly, the video discusses the incorrect way of using toilets. It suggests that you should raise your knees to your chest at approximately 35 degrees from your body, relax the rectal muscle, and walk to the colon. This position makes the process of emptying your bowels much easier.
In conclusion, the video encourages viewers to challenge their habits and practices, as many of them may not be as beneficial as they seem. It suggests that by recognizing and changing these habits, we can improve our overall well-being and health.
