It's not hygienic, it's semi-culture, and
China will fined you to do so. More recently, the habit of spitting has been
thrust into the limelight because of Beijing's bid to host the Olympics in
2008. Spitting is really yucky though admittedly measures necessary to rid
ourselves of things that are not desirable. However, in a culture such as ours,
it is frowned upon and regarded as unacceptable behavior unless you are a
fanatic fan of the Sex Pistols or performing dead-on rendition of Aerosmith
'Crazy'. Is spitting habit for you? Here's how to stop:
Get medical help.
Are you spitting habit is caused by a
medical condition or illness? Go to your doctor for proper diagnosis. If you
spit a lot because of excessive salivation, you could have a condition called
Ptyalosis or tylosis. This is caused by a disease that affects the salivary
glands, gums and tongue. A dentist can help improve these conditions.
Stop salivating.
Produce much saliva is a trigger
mechanism to spit, because most people would rather reject than to swallow the
extra fluid in their mouth. Saliva is the body's natural processes to ensure
that the mouth lubricated and cleaned of bacteria. Find out what causes you to
produce more saliva.
If it is dry mouth, drink plenty of
water. Are you too mint toothpaste? Substitute for a brand that has little or
no mint. Mint oil can cause your breath to smell fresh but also make you
produce more saliva.
Bring paper towels.
Instead of spitting on the sidewalk or on
the ground, spit on a tissue paper instead. Your brain acts causing
inconvenience to rebel and fight. Even if you are slow to help you stop your
habit of spitting, the very act of having to use a paper towel and find a trash
can to throw it, do not sit too well with you. This will help you do not like
to spit as an act and solve it as a habit.
Define 'space spit a.
Use of a room, such as the toilet as a 'space
spit' you, so the only room where you spit, elsewhere. Toilet is the best place
in the home or anywhere else for that matter because you can flush or wash down
your throat in vain. Do not spit in other places. Make a vow to spit just a
toilet or toilet paper. If you can control the spitting habit, you will be able
to stop it.
