9 Weekend Habits That Ruin Your Health

Most of us live from weekend to weekend. This phrase ‘weekend to weekend' means that we live a particular type of lifestyle during the week and a different kind of lifestyle during the weekend. During the weekdays, we are usually compelled to live a disciplined lifestyle because we have to go to office in the morning and cannot afford to do anything that jeopardises our early morning schedule. However, on the weekends, our habits give way to laziness and sloth. We tend to ‘let go' on weekends and indulge in unhealthy habits. Weekend habits can be unhealthy which can have repercussions during the weekdays.

We try to ‘live it up' on the weekend. Since we have no time to go out to eat on weekdays, we usually eat out on weekends. And as we are in holiday spirit, our weekend eating habits are usually not very healthy. Besides, there are other things that add to ‘weekend stress'. We have to finish lot of work during the weekend and this makes us take more stress than we do during rest of the week.

Weekend habits like hitting the gym once in a while or partying too hard can also have implications for your health. You need to be wary of habits that make you sick during the weekend. No one likes to go to office with a headache and aching ill-health. It is best to know which one of your weekend habits are making you unfit.

Here is a list of things we do in the weekends that can be called ‘unhealthy'.

Waking Up Late

Most of us try to ‘make up' for our rest during the weekdays by oversleeping on the weekends. Sleep cannot be compensated like that. You are just confusing your biological clock.

Being Weekend Warrior At Gym

Hitting the gym only on weekends and over exerting yourself will not help lose weight or stay fit. So either go to the gym regularly (i.e. every day) or not at all.

Partying Late At Night

Weekends are a time to enjoy yourselves. However, partying throughout the weekends puts pressure on your body and mind. You are ruining your weekday habits during the weekends.

Eating Out On Weekends

It is not so much the ‘eating out' that ruins your health. But usually, you eat the worse kind of junk food during the weekend because you thing you have take eaten enough healthy food during the weekdays.

Being Stressed About Relaxing

It is good to relax on weekends. But being ‘stressed' about relaxing is not good. It is this ‘weekend stress' that is ruining your health.

Taking Diet Breaks

A break from office does not mean that your body needs a break from your diet. Diets helps you lose weight and give results only when you can maintain them regularly. Taking a break from your diet on weekends will nullify the effects of dieting on weekdays.

Lazing All Day

Just because it is weekend, doesn't mean you laze all day. There is so much to do on the weekends. Why waste your time in sloth that is not good for your health anyways?

Staying Out Late Till Sunday Night

Most often, when we take weekend trips, we plan to stay out till late at night on Sundays. This is a big spoiler for Monday mornings. By Sunday evening, you should be out of the ‘weekend mode'.

Drinking Too Much

Weekend is a time when most drinking parties happen. But the only problem is that drinking alcohol or rather binge drinking damages your health. You also carry the hangover into office on Monday.
