To be beautiful or "frozen"?The "bare-legged artifact" that is popular all over the Internet seems to solve this problem perfectly, which can not only keep warm, but also look thin. But recently, the "bare-legged artifact" has been hammered: on December 22, the Shanghai Municipal Consumer Protection Commission released a news that the bare-legged artifact can induce a variety of diseases. In this regard, the cover news reporter interviewed Hu Yanting, chief of the Department of Orthopedics of Chengdu Seventh People's Hospital. She reminded everyone that wearing a "bare-legged artifact" may affect the health of the abdomen, legs and bones.
"Bare leg artifact" is a kind of warm socks close to the skin color, which looks like bare legs after wearing, and many products advertise "wear it to be thin", and also post a comparison picture before and after wearing, hence the name. In the market, its selling price ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. The leg slimming effect is achieved by tightly wrapping the legs with fabric, which is easy to cause symptoms such as allergies, paronychia, swelling of the lower limbs, and varicose veins. Hu Yanting, head of the Department of Orthopedics of Chengdu Seventh People's Hospital, reminded not to patronize Aimei, but also to know the harm it may cause.
First, it can aggravate toe curvature or toenail upturn. Most of the toes in the human body are usually curved slightly downward, leaving some space between the toes and the upper. If you wear tight tights or socks, it will increase the downward bending of the toes, and the friction between the toes and the upper of the shoes can easily lead to paronychia and other conditions.
Secondly, it may cause abdominal discomfort. Many people said that the "bare-legged artifact" was very straining, especially after eating, and they would be out of breath when they sat down. Long-term pressure on the abdomen is not only uncomfortable, but in severe cases, it may also aggravate constipation or cause other gastrointestinal disorders.
Thirdly, it may affect the blood vessels and bone health of the legs. If the legs are tightened too tightly, it may cause health risks such as swelling of the legs and feet, varicose veins, etc. When the leg muscles are in a state of excessive tension for a long time, the pressure on the bones of the legs will also increase, and wearing it for a long time may also lead to osteoporosis and increase the risk of fractures. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting blood vessels and bones, the usual dress should be comfortable, not too tight.
Fourth, it may lead to ** problems. Most of the "bare-legged artifacts" are made of chemical fiber, which not only has poor air permeability, but also tightens on the surface, which will hinder the "breathing", and it is easy to cause itching due to the inability of sweat to evaporate or the stimulation of chemical fiber materials, and sensitive people may also cause contact dermatitis or eczema.
Professionals remind that "bare-legged artifact" and all kinds of tights have drawbacks, and you can wear them if the occasion requires them, but you must pay attention to the wearing time. In winter, it is best to keep warm, try to choose warm and hygroscopic materials, such as wool, cotton, etc., and the waist and feet of the pants can be tightened but not strangled traces.
The "bare-legged artifact" looks similar to "medical elastic stockings" on the surface, but it is not. Medical compression stockings are not only elastic, they are actually medical sequential compression stockings, which are specially designed to establish the highest support pressure at the ankle area, and then gradually decrease the pressure along the leg upwards. And the "bare-legged artifact" can't do this exactly. (Cover News).
