February**Dynamic Incentive Plan Cancer risk is everywhere! Doctor: You may be guilty of these 4 bad habits when washing dishes
We eat whole grains every day, and occasional minor illnesses are inevitable, but if we have cancer, it is annoying. Although the level of medical care is much better than before, and the average life expectancy has increased to more than 70 years, it is still an era when everyone is afraid of getting cancer. If you have cancer, you have to stop and take care of yourself, it is very important to maintain a good attitude, and it is even more important to take care of your body and emotions, some people are like rotten trees at the age of 20, and some are still evergreen at the age of 80, no matter when you have to grasp the present. Tang Feng, M.D., studied medicine at Peking Union Medical College Medical College for eight years, where he experienced traditional Chinese medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, and obstetrics and gynecology oncology. Later, he gave up his job as a doctor and switched to writing poetry and became a writer. He wrote a book called "Not Afraid of Stress and Not Afraid of Cancer", in which he said: "For the real terminal illness, doctors can actually help them to a limited extent, and half of them eventually leave in pain." "In fact, cancer can be prevented, although we can't control genetic factors, and we can't **, but we can try to prevent it by changing our daily habits. Cancer prevention starts at home, such as the small thing of washing dishes, many bad habits may affect health, how many have you been recruited?
Many people put the bowls away and put them in the cupboard after eating and brushing. They find it time-saving, efficient, and avoids forgetting to clean up. But what you may not know is that this seemingly insignificant little habit is quietly affecting the health of your whole family.
Most of the chopsticks we use now are made of wood, and even some families use wooden spoons and bowls. If you put them away after washing without waiting for them to dry, it may cause mold.
Maybe it's hard for you to spot this tiny mold in time and don't care too much. However, eating with moldy chopsticks can easily develop aflatoxin. Aflatoxin, on the other hand, is a carcinogen that likes to grow on moldy things, such as moldy peanuts and corn.
Aflatoxin is very harmful to the body. Just 1 mg of aflatoxin is enough to cause cancer! If aflatoxin is grown on chopsticks, considering that we need to use chopsticks every day, long-term use will cause harm to the body.
The first is damage to the digestive tract: aflatoxin is a highly toxic substance, and long-term accumulation can damage the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, leading to abdominal discomfort, nausea and even vomiting.
Liver damage is a serious problem. Imagine that every bite of food we eat goes through liver processing. During this process, the liver does its best to excrete harmful substances, such as aflatoxin, through urine and bile. Unfortunately, some toxins can be converted into carcinogens that bind to DNA and can lead to liver damage or even cancer. Fortunately, early-stage liver cancer can be surgically removed or through intervention**. But recently, there is a new ** method called "yttrium-90" that has caused a sensation, claiming that one injection can ** liver cancer, but experts point out that compared with the traditional **, there is no obvious advantage. In addition, long-term exposure to aflatoxin may affect fetal development, and even lead to abnormal development or miscarriage, and even chronic poisoning. Therefore, it is better to dry the dishes after meals, and if you can, use a disinfection cabinet regularly to disinfect it, which is safer.
In addition to using a sterilizer for disinfection, you can also choose to boil the dishes and chopsticks at high temperatures, but you need to ensure that enough time is reached to ensure the sterilization effect. It is not enough to rinse quickly with hot water to achieve a complete sterilization effect.
In the process of washing dishes, most families will tend to use dish soap to assist in cleaning, which can easily remove oil stains and make dishes and chopsticks look cleaner.
There are many brands and types of dish soap, some are ordinary and some are food grade, such as vegetable dish soap and bottle dish soap. So how should we choose in our daily lives? What kind of harm may be caused to the body if used incorrectly?
If you look closely, you will see that the ingredient list of dish soaps will contain surfactants, which are the key to removing oil stains. These surfactants are usually non-toxic or contain trace amounts of toxic substances. As long as we choose regular and qualified products and use them correctly, they will not pose a threat to health.
Regarding the choice of dish soap: Some unscrupulous businesses may reduce certain production processes in order to maximize profits, resulting in an increase in harmful chemicals in dish soap. Therefore, it is best to choose products made by large, regular manufacturers when purchasing.
Regarding the use of dish soap: Some people prefer to squeeze the dish soap directly onto the grease stain and then scrub it with a brush.
In fact, there is a problem that when a large amount of dish soap is gathered together, some toxic substances may remain during rinsing, and the cleaning is not thorough. We can squeeze an appropriate amount of dish soap on the dishcloth, being careful not to use too much, then rub evenly, use it to wash the dishes, and then rinse with water several times. Regarding dish soap allergies, because dish soap usually contains preservatives, foaming agents, solubilizers and other chemicals, long-term contact may cause certain irritation to the hands, such as dryness, peeling, etc. For people with sensitive feelings, the chemical ingredients in dish soap may cause allergic reactions, with uncomfortable sensations such as small red spots and itching. Whether it is a dishwasher in the household or catering industry, it is best to wear plastic gloves when using dish soap to protect**. In addition, in addition to dish soap, dishwashing tools are also crucial. Check the sink in your kitchen to see if there's a dishcloth or sponge that you throw away after use, feel sticky to the touch, and smell bad? In case you didn't know, this is a breeding ground for germs! According to a survey by the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, the number of bacteria on a dishcloth is as high as 500 billion, and there are 19 different bacteria! Therefore, it is best to wash the dishcloth thoroughly after each use and dry it in the sun, as UV exposure can also help kill some bacteria.
You can also use white vinegar and baking soda to soak the dishcloth thoroughly, and then scrub it repeatedly for a strong decontamination. It's best to change the dishcloth once a week or every two weeks, or to do a vigorous stain removal. The same goes for a dishwashing sponge, which is better than a dishcloth because it is a breeding ground for bacteria, damp, ventilated with pores, and more likely to leave food debris.
The service life of the dishwashing sponge should not be too long, and it needs to be replaced regularly or cleaned thoroughly. Some dishwashing sponges can become thinner and thinner, so they should be discarded and replaced with new ones.
Maybe you often see such a plot in TV series: after washing the dishes, wipe them with a cloth and look clean and free of water stains. But is that really the case? In fact, seemingly clean dish cloths are also full of bacteria. If you do not wash and disinfect the dishcloth in time, it may cause the dishes and chopsticks to become dirtier and dirtier if they are not dried. If the dishcloth has been thoroughly washed and dried, you can use it to dry the dishes.
After washing the dishes, they can also be dried naturally in the drain basket. If you have a disinfection cabinet at home, you can dry it and put it in the disinfection cabinet for disinfection. Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to eating healthy, and disinfection cabinets are not only used in restaurants, but also in homes. The disinfection cabinet is mainly disinfected by ultraviolet rays, high temperature and ozone, which has a good effect on inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria and killing bacteria.
However, it should be noted that plastic dishes and chopsticks or high-temperature resistant dishes and chopsticks should not be put into the disinfection cabinet. In addition, do not open the door unless it is absolutely necessary when the sterilizer is in operation, as ozone or ultraviolet leakage can cause some damage to the body. If there is no sterilizer, you can choose to soak the tableware in boiling water for three minutes, which can also achieve a good disinfection and sterilization effect.
Nowadays, cancer is not just a problem for middle-aged and elderly people, and the age of diagnosis is getting younger and younger. Many cancers that were previously undetected are now being discovered. Realistic stress, unhealthy lifestyle habits and irregular schedules are all invisible factors that are gradually pushing people into the abyss. In life, we often overlook some small details, and these details determine the quality of our life and physical state. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will get positive feedback from your body. Small things like washing dishes are just the tip of the iceberg in life. Starting with the right brushing, have you mastered the recipe for success?
