From our morning routines to how we unwind at night, small habits can slowly chip away at our long-term health. Dr Dmitry Yaranov, cardiologist based in Russia, shares in his October 29 Instagram post 5 such innocent habits that may be silently damaging your health without you even realising it. "In my practice, I often see the long-term effects of habits that seem harmless. But over time, they take a toll on your heart, your energy, your resilience," he wrote in the caption. Here are the five habits he says you need to rethink: 1. Running on empty Telling yourself, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"? That mindset might get you there faster. Skipping rest increases blood pressure, weight gain, and burnout that's hard to recover from. 2. Sitting all day, scrolling all night Whether at your desk, on the couch, or in the car, too much sitting affects your spine, metabolism, and heart health.
