It seems no matter where we turn or what we read, we’re faced with something that’s bad for us. Truth is, it’s true. Especially as college students, we’re out learning to become independent and making our own (hopefully good) decisions. It’s important to be aware of what we are doing on a daily basis that may actually be harming us without us knowing. Things we may consider to be #SoCollege, might actually be #SoDamaging. With that being said, we’re able to take into consideration the knowledge we do know and try to do it in moderation to take care for our bodies. Here are 20 things college students do on a daily basis that are actually impacting their health:

1. Sit in class.

Not getting enough sunlight can lower the body's supply of vitamin D. Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency include depression, aches and fatigue. Studies also show that sitting for more than 11 hours per day increases premature death by 40 percent.

2. Hit the snooze button.

Disrupting sleep actually diminishes the benefits of your rest. Studies show, hitting the snooze button leaves you more tired than if you were to have actually gotten up the first time.

3. Binge watch Netflix.

Lying motionless in front of a computer or television raises the risk of developing a chronic disease and dying early on in life. It’s important to take breaks by standing, stretching and getting in some physical activity. Also, it may cause eye strain and headaches.

4. Smoke.

All forms of smokers are prone to lung disease and cancer. Over-use of marijuana is harmful to the user in addition to chronic apathy and lack of energy.

5. Wear leggings.

Tight pants are linked to nerve damage. They can compress a nerve in the groin causing a condition called Meralgia Paraesthetica. This leads to tingling, burning and pain in the outer thigh that can last for weeks up to a few months.

6. Blow-dry their hair.

Heat from blow dryers cause hydrogen bonds in the hair to deteriorate. This causes your hair to be more likely to fall out or start to thin.

7. Work on the computer.

Screen brightness can cause eye strain and headaches. Surprisingly, some computers even contain toxins that may cause neurological damage.

8. Stress out.

Stress is shown to create muscle tension and pain due to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. This could even lead to heart disease. Stress also increases risk of Type 2 Diabetes and issues in your gastrointestinal, nervous and reproductive system.

9. Bite pens and pencils.

Chewing on your writing utensil can shift the position of your teeth. Your teeth can be damaged by the initial bites as well.

10. Eat sweets.

Sugar makes it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. It is estimated most people consume an extra 500 calories per day through sugar intake. This increases risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

11. Shower.

Showering every day, especially in hot water, can dry out and irritate your skin and wash away good bacteria. Studies show it’s healthier to skip the daily shower and take one every two to three days.

12. Wear socks to bed.

Wearing socks to bed prevents gaseous exchange of your body's cells. Studies show, this not only damages your skin cells, but brain cells as well.

13. Drink their calories.

Cocktails are very high in sugar and calories. Every ounce of alcohol contains 100 calories. This can lead to unintentional weight gain in the long run.

14. Carry their bag on the same shoulder.

The weight of a school bag causes muscular strain and result on chronic shoulder pain. Carrying an asymmetric load throws off your posture.

15. Watch TV before bed.

Turn off the TV and phone before crawling into bed. Your body needs darkness to produce melatonin which puts you to sleep. Studies show, the bright screens of your devices prevent this from happening.

16. Eat packaged and frozen foods.

Packaged foods are loaded with harmful preservatives. These meals contain days’ worth of sodium. The FDA recommends consuming no more than one teaspoon of salt per day. Most frozen meals easily contain more than 30 percent of your sodium intake for the day.

17. Sleep on their stomach.

Sleeping on your stomach tilts your head backwards which causes pain in the upper extremities. In fact, it's actually the worst sleeping position. Ideally, the best position to sleep in is on your back.

18. Cross their legs.

Crossing your legs increases your risk of developing a blood clot. It compresses the veins in your legs and raises blood pressure. Additionally, it puts excessive pressure on your hip joints.

19. Text.

Looking down all the time at your phone puts a strain on your posture. Studies show, the added pressure on your spine can lead to tightness in the shoulder causing rotator cuff Tendinitis.

20. Drink more than two alcoholic drinks per day.

Alcohol is seen as poison by the body. Research shows, alcohol slowly kills you when consumed excessively. It is highly recommended to consume two drinks or less no matter your size.
