5 Bad Things That
Are Good For You.  


Assalamualaikum! Hello again guys...did you know that bad things are also good for you in some ways.Unless you didn't know the good part you never keep doing it right?  So, here some of the bad things that are good for you..hehe...read carefully and practice yaa!


1Listening to Loud music

If you despair over the thumping soundtrack blasting from your teens room,you may be surprised to hear it could be doing him some good.
      There's a scientific proof that the greater the music's intensity the more pleasure it brings,according to research from the University of Mancester.It's all down to the vestibular system,which is responsible for balance but also carries vibration;when sound waves set it off, it sends a positive message to the brain.Study author Neil Todd belief it's a hangover from a primitive acoustic sense connected to basic drives such as hunger and sex.But if the result is hearing loss,surely it's not worth it?
     Todd found that while sounds carried across a room had to be louder than 90 decibels (equivalent to a motorbike or lawnmower) to produce the vestibular response,sound carried through mass-such as the floor or leaning against a speaker-need only 30 decibels to achieve the same sensation.  

  But watch out! 

In reality,clubs and rock gigs 
can reach over 100 decibels.
The longer you listen to loud 
music,the more damage you
do. It's considered safe to listen 
to 85 decibels for 8 hours,but
if this increases to 88 decibels,
you should halve the length of the time.



2Texting,not Talking 

In the philippines alone,about 400 million text messages are sent in a day,which you may see as another nail in the coffin of human interaction.
     But survey by YouGov,an international internet-based market research firm,found that 43 % of respondent felt mobile phones improved family communications.
     A study by Professor Helen Haste of the Nestle Social research Programme in London confirmed that for young adults,texting was crucial in their interaction with parents.
     Experts suggest it's the discreet nature of texting that makes it so appealing to young people,allowing them to keep in touch while maintaining their own space.Phone calls may be more immediate,but texting means explosive emotions can be edited out and the mis-interpretation of tones often leads youngsters to avoid phone calls. 

 But watch out!

A virgin Mobile survey suggest millions suffer
text-related injuries each year.Doctors advise 
against spending more than 5-10 minutes texting,
to avoid repetatives strain injury.Spread the load 
by varying the fingers you use. 







3Computer Games 

They  isolates children socially and distract them from learning,right?
Think again.Researchers have found that kids who clock up regular console time can improve their
hand-eye coordination,their grip on science,even their IQ. 

     A 2002 study of 700 children found that simulation and adventure games such as SIM CITY and ROLLER COASTER TYCOON developed children's strategics thinking an planning skills.Computer games are also a great way to explain the basics of physics.( A weapon thrown in a game,for example has to follow a certain trajectory,illustrating the laws of gravity).

 But Watch out!

Some games can creates stress-like symptoms,with younger
children more affected because they are less able to distinguish
between fact and fiction. 





4Sugary Soft Drinks 

Surely it's great that soft drinks come in diet form? The same drinks with virtually no calories. But a 2005 study from University of Texas found that in a group of 622 participants studied over eight years,those who regularly drank diet soft drinks were far more likely to become obese or overweight than those drinking the same amount of non-diet drink.

     Although artificial sweeteners may taste the same as sugars,"your body may not be fooled that it's received the same calories-so it craves more" , say Jacqui Lowdon, a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association.

 But watch out!

To lose weight,you must cut 
down on calories."have one 
sugar a week and enjoy it",
rather than a lot of diet
 drink that don't satisfy you,"
advises Lowdown. 

5Being a working mom

Do you sometimes worry that the stress of caring for a family while holding down a job will drive you into the mad house or an early grave?
     In fact, a 2005 study found that women who combine a career with marriage and motherhood are less likely  to have poor health than those who have no children and stay at home.A study in UK following British men and women born in 1946 throughout their lives,also found that 38% of long term homemakers were obese by their fifties,compared with just 23% who had been working mothers. 

 
        But watch out!

 Sadly the same benefits don't come from going
 it alone.Lone working mothers were less healthy
 than ones with partners or childless woman( through
 still healthier than mums who didn't work).
