Not all our vices are bad for our health that we have to stop completely, says GP Dr Suhail Hussain (Image: Getty) With habits like smoking or binge drinking alcohol , there’s no question we should quit for the sake of our health. But what about those little vices that help get us through the day? GP Dr Suhail Hussain explains which bad habits we can get away with - and one we need to kick into touch. A weekly takeaway? After a hard week, many of us look forward to our favourite takeaway.
However, recent research has shown that eating one twice a week is associated with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. That said, Dr Hussain believes that as long as we choose takeaways carefully, we don’t have to give up this treat just yet. “Incorporating occasional takeout meals into an overall healthy diet can promote a balanced approach to food consumption,” he says.
“The key is making smarter choices when ordering, opting for dishes rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Portion control and being aware of your total weekly calorie intake is also crucial. window.
