People create new habits every single day. Often times parents pass those habits down to their children. In some cases those same habits get passed from parents to grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Like a great recipe or morning routine, people learn things, and through repetition, it becomes ingrained in families and in rare cases communities and larger geographical regions.
However, just because we’ve created or adopted a habit, doesn’t make it correct. Something that we thought to be correct fifty years ago, could be proven wrong by more scientific knowledge. A prime example of this is bloodletting—once a universal practice, would never be practiced today!
While we don’t have any examples as shocking as bloodletting, consider these common customs that you might be doing incorrectly and out of pure ignorance.

People create new habits every single day.
Oftentimes, parents pass those habits down to their children.
In some cases, those same habits get passed from parents to grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Like a great recipe or morning routine, people learn things, and through repetition, it becomes
ingrained in families and, in rare cases, communities and larger geographical regions.
However, just because we've created or adopted a habit doesn't make it correct.
Something that we thought to be correct 50 years ago could be proven wrong by more scientific
knowledge.
A prime example of this is bloodletting, once a universal practice, would never be practiced
today.
While we don't have any examples as shocking as bloodletting, consider these common customs
that you might be doing incorrectly and out of pure ignorance.
Breathing
What?
Yes, you could be breathing incorrectly.
You've been doing it for so long involuntarily that you could have created a bad habit.
When you breathe with your chest, incorrectly, you take shallower breaths and don't properly
exercise the diaphragm.
Moreover, you don't get as much oxygen as you should.
Learning to breathe with your diaphragm could take some time, but it's worth it in the long
run.
Brushing your teeth
Here's a little known fact.
You should brush your teeth both side to side and up and down.
These different brush strokes help us clean the entire area of our teeth, all the way
to the gum line.
When you brush your teeth with side to side movements only, you're leaving too much of
your teeth unbrushed and untouched.
Next time you brush, slow down, concentrate, and use both strokes for more effective oral
health practices.
Skin care
Different skin types need different skin care.
Most people who approach middle age don't do enough to alter their routine to care for
aging skin.
For instance, the amount of soap you use in the shower could be causing dry, unhealthy
skin.
It may not be the kind of soap you're using, but rather the amount.
If you've got tight, dry skin, try using less soap and cooler water.
Using paper towels
Whenever something gets spilled in the kitchen, our natural reaction is to reach for a paper
towel.
After washing our hands, we do the same thing.
Reaching for a paper towel every time something is wet is causing us to use entirely too much
paper.
Using too much paper means cutting down too many trees.
A dish rag or kitchen towel does a much better job on these small tasks, but if you must
use a paper towel, cut down on the amount to help our environment.
Cooking pasta
In Italy, not all pasta is covered in sauce like in the United States.
Many pasta dishes are served with vegetables or sprinkled cheese, rather than being smothered
with meat and tomato sauce.
So, in the old world, you might want a little olive oil on your pasta, but when pairing
it with sauce, the olive oil prevents the sauce from adhering to the pasta.
It just becomes overkill.
