Heart surgeon shares four daily habits to avoid for better health

One of our favorite doctors, heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London, speaks of four daily habits most of us practice but should instead avoid.

Dr. London has over 550 thousand followers on TikTok where he shares tips for better health.

Using Mouthwash

A lot of people use mouthwash daily without being aware that this can do more harm than good. Dr. London advises against using it, saying, “Stop using mouthwash. This is one thing that I absolutely avoid as a cardiac surgeon.”

This is because mouthwash kills both good and bad bacteria, which leads to imbalance in our guts because the good bacteria present in the gut starts in the mouth.

His claim is especially true for mouthwash that is based on alcohol.

Smoking Tobacco Products

One of the daily habits we should avoid, according to Dr. London, is smoking tobacco products. According to The World Health Organization, tobacco “is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, over 20 different types or subtypes of cancer, and many other debilitating health conditions.”

Dr. London says smoking tobacco “is the worst thing you can do to yourself,” adding, “Smoking directly injures the lining of blood vessels, increases the chance of atherosclerosis and blockages, and causes cancer.”

Drinking Alcohol

As expected, drinking alcohol is on the list of daily habits to avoid for better health. “It’s toxic to every cell in your body,” Dr. London says. According to him, even the slightest quantities of alcohol increase the risks of developing cardiovascular disease.

Consuming Processed Foods

It is a well-known fact that balanced diet is the key to a healthy body and mind. Dr. London advises we should “limit or remove processed foods from your diet.”

NHS states that overconsumption of processed food leads to type 2 diabetes, obesity, and bowel cancer.
