There is a range of objects in the home, some of which have become useless, especially the fifth of them. Those of us who are old have gone through many hardships and developed good habits of frugality. However, there are some items that they are reluctant to throw away knowing that they are no longer useful. We may regret throwing away things that we feel we are reluctant to do, but recalling those difficult times makes us feel uneasy about life. However, it wasn't until one day that we became unwell and realized that these items really should be thrown away, otherwise there would be health consequences. If you are concerned about your family's diet, then it is recommended that you continue to pay attention to it, as there are some items that may pose a potential threat to your health. These seven items are described in detail below.
First, let's talk about yellowing and spoiled lard. In the countryside, lard has always been loved, and it is believed to be more nutritious and filling than clear oil. Therefore, after slaughtering pigs, people are willing to buy all kinds of meat, but they are reluctant to sell lard. It is a habit of life, but lard also has an expiration date. If you have yellowed and spoiled lard in your home, be sure to throw it away. Eating spoiled lard may cause acute gastroenteritis, bacteria and fungi may invade the gastrointestinal tract, causing loss of appetite, vomiting, and even food poisoning, producing toxic substances such as flavomycin, etc., and long-term consumption of spoiled lard may also lead to cell cancer.
The second item is yellow, moldy bacon. If you have bacon like this at home, throw it away. Mould on the surface of bacon can trigger allergic reactions and adverse symptoms, including difficulty breathing, throat irritation, and even severe enough to lead to asthma and cardiovascular disease. In addition, eating moldy bacon may produce toxins that can cause damage to human organs, especially the liver and kidneys, and can be even more harmful to pregnant women and children.
The third type of item is clothing that is not worn at home. If there are clothes that have been lying in the closet for years without wearing them, then hurry up and consider donating or**. Keeping these clothes just takes up space and makes no sense.
The fourth item is the shoes that are small at home. Don't be afraid to throw it away because you can't help it. As you get older, your feet may become a little looser, and shoes that would have worked out may no longer fit. I used to have more than a dozen pairs of shoes, including high heels, sneakers, and homemade cloth shoes, and I was reluctant to throw them away, always thinking that I would be able to wear them in the future. However, now it seems that it may not be used for a lifetime, so it is best to throw it away decisively.
The fifth item is our usual face towel. As soon as the face towel becomes hard or smelly, it should be thrown away immediately and replaced with a new one. Washing face towels can lead to the growth of bacteria and excessive microbial secretion of odors. If it is used continuously and does not be replaced, it may cause ** diseases, such as acne, etc. It is recommended to change towels every two to three months to ensure hygiene.
The sixth item is used plastic bottles. While many plastic bottles are labeled as single-use, many people tend to keep them, believing that they look new and can be reused, such as for pickles or chili sauce. What we don't necessarily know, however, is that plastic bottles age after repeated use, and after aging, they may release tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye and enter our stomachs when mixed with food. Long-term use of this is not beneficial to the body, but may be harmful. Therefore, it is advisable not to reuse single-use plastic bottles and throw them away in a timely manner.
The last item is wooden chopsticks for use at home. Chopsticks need to be replaced after a period of use, but those of us who are older tend to think that the longer they are used, the better. However, after using wooden chopsticks for a period of time, not only does the color become unsightly, but it is also prone to deformation and mold. Chopsticks with moldy spots should be thrown away immediately, as this indicates that they have developed bacteria and that continued use will pose a health risk.

In this process of renunciation, we can make our home more refreshing and protect our health at the same time. Let's make wise choices together to throw away items that are no longer useful and create a better environment for a healthy and comfortable life.
