Small details define us in many ways. For example, in some countries it is common to eat while watching TV, while in others eating requires complete awareness. In countries like Greece and Turkey, it is strictly forbidden to flush toilet paper. We rarely think about these things because we are so common, but all along we may have been doing our daily routines wrong.
Check out some other common things Bright Side has compiled for you that you might be doing wrong without even realizing it.
The popular theory that water dilutes gastric juice is a myth, but it may not be the best idea to drink a glass of water, especially after a large meal. It’s true that water can help you lose weight because it reduces hunger, but drinking a glass of water after a big meal can make you feel bloated. Drinking water slowly can help prevent gas from swallowing air.

This is an age-old question: should tomatoes be stored in the refrigerator or on the table? It depends on how ripe your tomatoes are. But ideally, you should do both. The ideal storage temperature is around 55ºF. Although most refrigerators are set at 35ºF, which prevents mold from ripening, ripe tomatoes will lose their flavor. Fortunately, after storing ripe tomatoes in the refrigerator for a few days on the table, the taste will return.
Although it may seem convenient to wash your face in the shower, if you shower with lukewarm water, it can have negative consequences. On the one hand, it causes your skin to produce more oil to compensate, thus making it dry. The best way to wash your face is to wash it with warm or even cold water after showering to reduce puffiness.
Something as simple as washing the lid down can make a big difference to your health. It’s like your toilet sneezes every time you flush (professionals call it a toilet plume). When flushed with the lid on, bacteria can be flung up to 10 inches above the toilet, putting even toothbrushes at risk of fecal splatter.
If you thought that all new plants had to be stored the same way, it’s a little more complicated than that. Hardy herbs (eg, oregano, rosemary, thyme, etc.) store better by soaking the stems in water. You can choose to store the container in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to store tender herbs such as cilantro, parsley, celery (stems and leaves only), or mint in a plastic bag or plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Another eternal question is whether it is better to shower in the morning or in the evening. A shower in the morning will definitely wake you up. But for a positive effect, it is better to take a slightly cold or at least a warm shower. However, if you prefer to take a shower at night, it will not only help you relax before going to bed, but also help maintain a clean environment in your home. In this case, you can use warm water, but do not use too hot water so as not to dry the skin. Taking 2 short showers at different temperatures every day can be a good solution.
