Did you know?There are many habitual behaviors or habits in our lives, which are actually a great threat to our physical health, but many people are not aware of it.
So today, let's take a look, how many of these behaviors and habits have you hit?
Forgetting to disinfect your phone regularly
The mobile phone has become an extension of our limbs, and it seems that we can't do without it every day, playing with the mobile phone when eating, playing with the mobile phone when going to the toilet, and maybe holding it at night when we sleep.
We washed our hands,But they often neglect to disinfect the mobile phones they have been playingAfter all, it also has a lot of opportunities to come into contact with pathogens in life.
A study in the United Kingdom showed that 1 in 6 mobile phones were tested for deadly bacteria such as E. coli and drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, when using a mobile phone, you should wipe your mobile phone with wet wipes or alcohol swabs every week, wash your hands frequently after using your mobile phone, do not look at your mobile phone when eating, and develop good hygiene habits.
Fold the quilt as soon as you wake up
A study from Kingston University in the United Kingdom showedDon't fold the quilt immediately after waking up, it is good for your physical and mental health.
The study's chief scientist, Dr. Prytlev, noted that even very tidy bedrooms,There are also at least 15 million mites in the bedding in each bed. Because dust mites in the room are not easy to survive in a dry, revealing environment, and a folded quilt will easily preserve the temperature and sweat of the human body, thus creating conditions for dust mites to survive.
In addition, a person emits a lot of exhaust gases during a night's sleepAmong them, there are 149 chemicals such as carbon dioxide, and about 150 substances that evaporate from sweatThese substances will be adsorbed on the quilt.
Immediately after waking up, these substances are not easy to dissipate, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances and the reproduction of microorganisms, which not only changes the properties of the quilt fibers, but also is absorbed by the human body again at night, thus endangering health.
Therefore, do not fold the quilt and make the bed immediately after waking upFlip the quilt over so that the inside of the quilt is facing outward, open the doors and windows for ventilation, and fold the quilt after washing.
Towels for wiping hands are not washed often
The amount of bacteria contained in the towel is so large that you can't imagine. Towels contain a lot of fibers, and the towels become damp after wiping your hands, and the temperature in the toilet is very warm, which is the favorite environment for all kinds of bacteria.
So,Remember to wash and dry the towels every 3 days, and change the towels every 3 months at most.
Wash or wipe your face with a damp towel
In 2014, the China Home Textile Association released the "Towel Health Use Cycle Experimental Test Results" pointed out that the number of bacteria in wet towels is significantly more than that of dry towelsTowel bacteria grow significantly faster in areas with high humidity than in drier areas. Washing your face with a damp towel increases the risk of bacterial infections and is not worth advocating.
Rub your eyes often with your hands
We usually have a lot of bacteria on our handsRubbing your eyes with dirty hands can bring invisible bacteria into your eyes. The consequence can be a bacterial infection, which can lead to inflammation of the eye.
If one eye is red and itchy, rubbing the eye with your hands can also spread the symptoms to the other eye, causing cross-infection between the two eyes.
Rubbing your eyes is also an important cause of astigmatism. In addition to congenital factors, astigmatism is also affected by acquired factors, such as eye rubbing, improper sleeping position, and long-term eyelid closing, etc., which may lead to an increase in astigmatism if these actions affect the change of corneal morphology.
Most people rub vigorously when their eyes are uncomfortable or itchy due to allergies, and the eyeball will move upward, and the pressure will gather under the eyeball, causing a change in the curvature under the cornea. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curvature.
Wrap food in paper towels
For the "whiteness" of white paper, many manufacturers will use it in the production processFluorescent brighteners, after the fluorescent brightener comes into contact with food (especially oily food), it will transfer from paper towels to food, and the higher the temperature of the food, the more the fluorescent brightener will be transferred.
Fluorescent brighteners are not easy to decompose in the human bodyAfter long-term ingestion, its toxicity can accumulate in the liver, producing potential carcinogenic factors.
Wipe the table often with a rag
Many people like to wipe the table with a damp rag, which is of course no problem, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the hygiene of the wet rag. As you might not imagine, a small wet rag is an excellent medium for microorganisms.
After a week of use, you will be amazed at the number of microorganisms that grow on the cloth. According to the "Chinese Family Kitchen Hygiene Survey" released by the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association***, the number of bacteria on a rag is as high as 500 billion in a random survey.
Rinse the raw meat under the tap
Raw meat is easily contaminated with various bacteria, parasites and other microorganisms, such as Campylobacter and Salmonella in chicken, E. coli O157:H7 in beef, Vibrio vulnificus in oysters, etc. Parasitic problems are also common, such as pork tapeworms in pork. If you rinse raw meat directly from the faucet, not only will it not wash off the bacteria on it, but the splash will also contaminate the kitchen sink, cutting board, countertop, and kitchen knife. The next time you wash raw food such as fruits, you may be contaminated with bacteria, which may cause food safety hazards.
There are studies that showDue to improper meat handling, the home has become a frequent place for microbial pathogenic infectionsAccording to the Ministry of Health's bulletin for the second quarter of 2009, the number of reported food poisoning incidents, the number of poisonings and the number of deaths were the highest in households, accounting for the total number of reported cases, poisonings and deaths, respectively. 3% and 833%。
Chopsticks are not replaced for a long time
Chopsticks that are used beyond the expiration date can breed various molds, which may lead to infectious diarrhea, vomiting and other digestive diseases. Severely moldy chopsticks can breed aflatoxin, which can cause cancer.
Household chopsticks that are used beyond the expiration date have a particularly high water content. Because household chopsticks are used frequently, andLong-term washing with water can easily become a breeding ground for bacterial growth, such as Staphylocobacter aureus, E. coli, etc. Keeping chopsticks in a cupboard for a long time can increase the chance of chopsticks spoiling by more than five times.
It is recommended that you usually wash the bamboo and wooden chopsticks, dry or dry them first and then put them in the cupboard for preservation, cook the chopsticks in boiling water for about half an hour every week, and replace the chopsticks once every three months or so.
