These Are 10 Things People Don’t Realize Are Actually Quite Dangerous..

1. Motorcycles

Although you probably know that motorcycles are more dangerous than cars,you may not realize how much more dangerous.Just to give you an idea,people in the medical field sometimes refer to them as “donor cycles”, because they often lead to organ donations.

2 Being overweight

Next to smoking,obesity is one of the worst things you can do to your body.In fact,most preventable diseases could be avoided by not smoking and maintaining a healthy weight through activity and diet.

3.Inhaling paint/gasoline fumes

This goes for basically any chemical.It can mess you up in ways you don’t want to be messed up, from cancer to brain damage.

4.Not Sleeping

Not sleeping actually impairs your judgement worse than alcohol.Moreover,the long term effects of not sleeping include everything from weight gain to mental health issues.

5. Petting a dog for the first time on top of the head

Although this is what most people do, it can cause some dogs to snap because it is a sign of dominance and they can’t see your hand.Your best option is to let the dog sniff the back of your hand first. Once he realizes you are not a threat,and licks you,you can pet under or to the side of the head.

6.Sitting

Sitting for prolonged periods of time (like on long flights) can lead to blood clots forming in your legs and then circulating into your heart,causing a heart attack. Furthermore,even over the long run sitting every day(like at work) has been found to correlate with numerous health problems in the same way as smoking and obesity.

7.Doing Electrical Work

Unless you know what you are doing, you should not mess with this.120V is more than enough to kill you.(Thank God for Johnny's life)

8.Air pollution

People tend to underestimate how bad breathing non-air particles actually is.One of the primary sources of this, besides smoking,is air pollution.Living in cities like Lagos can have a very noticeable effect on your health.

9.Not seeing a doctor

As long as you live in a country with affordable and accessible healthcare,you should definitely try to see a doctor if you sense anything out of the ordinary.Things like cancer are often diagnosed for just this reason.But of course,if it’s just a cold then you might as well rest.

10.Feel free to add yours grin

If not sleeping is there, then too much sleep should also be there

10. lack of understanding/knowledge

Nothing is worse than being ignorant. if you want to lead a good, successful and healthy life. Get understanding and try to be knowledgeable in some things. one way to do this is to read. The answer to somethings are just in a book or some written article.

Try to cultivate the habit of always reading. It help a lot.

wow...very fine thread,let me add my own make who no know to know.

10.Fighting : This may sound silly,because who wouldn’t think that fighting is dangerous?..What people don’t realize, however,is just how easy it is to never get up again.Every year numerous people get hit the wrong way,or fall and smash their head the wrong way,and that’s the end.You may want to punch someone in the face but just know that you could easily end up facing manslaughter charges or you get injured after a fight.

Moral: No gain in any Fight....Stop fighting today!!!
