Everyone wants to live a healthy life, but many people ignore some unhygienic habits in their daily lives.
These habits may seem harmless, but in reality they can become breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses, potentially threatening our health.
It is recommended that everyone take a serious look, don't take it lightly, and don't take it seriously!
Many people have a habit when they go to the toilet, that is, they flush the water halfway, and even the last time the toilet will flush the water several times, on the one hand, it is considered that it will not be too smelly to flush it in time, and on the other hand, it is also considered that the toilet is not easy to block when flushing a little at a time.
But you know what? This seemingly innocuous little action may actually bring some trouble to our health.
When you flush the water, the water in the toilet bowl is like a whirlpool, churning, and the droplets will splash everywhere.
These toilet water carries all kinds of bacteria and viruses, which will definitely splash on our lower body**, which may cause urinary tract infections and bury hidden dangers to our health.
So, my advice is: don't flush the toilet halfway through, flush it again when you're done, and don't forget to close the toilet seat. This effectively stops water droplets from splashing and reduces the risk of germs spreading.
This small gesture can protect the health of yourself and your family, so why not?
Many people like to wrap food in paper towels, and it makes sense that it is clean and can avoid getting their hands dirty.
But you know what? This may seem like a convenient way to do it, but it's not hygienic.
Paper towels are actually not so clean, and some manufacturers will add fluorescent brighteners in the production process in order to increase the whiteness of paper towels. If it's just used to wipe your hands and mouth, it's fine.
But food is usually warmer, and when a paper towel comes into contact with food, the optical brightener may migrate into the food and enter the body with the food.
It's even worse if it's some cheap, low-quality three-no-napkins, which themselves contain a lot of chemical residues, paper scraps, various fungi, E. coli, tuberculosis, etc. If the food is contaminated with these tissues and then enters the human body, the consequences are unimaginable!
So, stop wrapping food in paper towels! To protect your health, choose a safer and hygienic packaging method!
The latest research shows that we touch our phones thousands of times a day, which is astonishing, but it makes sense to think about it!
On average, each person touches their phone 2,617 times a day and spends 145 minutes using it, and one in 10 people is a heavy user, who touches their phone 5,427 times a day, and the time is longer, 225 minutes!
Most people, including you and me, carry their mobile phones with them regardless of the occasion, go to the toilet, eat, sleep, and can't do without their mobile phones anytime and anywhere. Mobile phones are our closest "partners", but we pay little attention to the hygiene of mobile phones.
Long-term use has caused the surface of the phone to be covered with all kinds of bacteria, coupled with the temperature and sweat on the hands, the bacteria can grow at a rapid rate!
According to a study by the University of Arizona in the United States, they found that the number of bacteria on mobile phones is 10 times higher than that of most toilet seats! It's hard to accept, but it's just the way it is.
So, the cleanliness of your phone is crucial. It is recommended that you often use alcohol swabs or professional mobile phone cleaning liquids to wipe the surface of your mobile phone thoroughly and keep your mobile phone clean and hygienic. This is an important step to protect the health of yourself and your family, and you must not ignore it!
Most people may not clean the doorknob often, and even feel that the place they touch every day is dirty.
But in fact, it is precisely because of daily contact, entering and leaving the house every day, that you may carry a large number of bacteria and viruses on your hands, and these bacteria and viruses will infect the doorknob at the moment of contact, so the doorknob may be one of the dirtiest places in the home.
If the doorknob is not cleaned in time, these bacteria and viruses can accumulate in the home and pose a threat to the health of family members over time.
Imagine that so many people come in and out of your home every day, and if the bacteria and viruses on the doorknobs are not cleaned up in time, then these bacteria and viruses can cross the house and increase the risk of family members contracting infectious diseases.
The doorknob may seem like a small detail, but in reality, it plays a very important role in the health of the family.
Therefore, we should clean the doorknob regularly and wipe it with alcohol or disinfectant wipes, which can effectively reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses and protect the health of family members.
It is often said that folding the quilt immediately after getting up is a manifestation of diligence and cleanliness, but in fact, this practice is not scientific, and may even affect our health.
If your parents think that you are making excuses for not folding the quilt, then you must carefully look at the following scientific evidence and explain it to your parents.
When we sleep at night, our body sweats, and this sweat is absorbed by the quilt, causing the quilt to become damp. This moisture not only makes the quilt uncomfortable to sleep on, but also leaves ** taste and metabolites.
If you fold the quilt immediately after waking up, the moisture in the quilt will be compressed inside and cannot be dissipated in time. When we sleep on this quilt again at night, these moisture and residues will be reabsorbed by our body, which is not good for health.
Therefore, after getting up, you should first turn the quilt over to allow it time to dissipate moisture before tidying it up. At the same time, you can also open the window for ventilation to allow air circulation and help the quilt dry faster.
In conclusion, it is important to keep your quilt clean and dry. There is an opportunity to take the quilt to bask in the sun, and at the same time, it is also necessary to change and wash it frequently**.
Many people hang a towel next to the sink to wipe after washing their hands, and they think it is very clean and hygienic, but this towel is washed only once in a long time.
To put it mildly, this will only make your hands dirtier and dirtier, and if you don't wash and dry your towel often, it will become a gathering place for bacteria and viruses, and maybe even a vector for them.
Because the towel is cotton, its special structure makes it easy to absorb oil, sweat, dander, dust, etc., and the towel will become damp after wiping your hands, providing conditions for bacteria and viruses to grow. Wiping your hands with a towel will only get your hands stained with bacteria and viruses again.
If you're used to towing your hands, I recommend that you wash your towel frequently and keep it in the sun to dry.
Alternatively, you may consider wiping your hands with disposable tissues or allowing them to air dry to reduce the risk of bacterial and viral infections. Maintain hand hygiene and stay away from bacteria and viruses to better protect your health.
Some habits in daily life may seem insignificant, but really, these small actions can quietly damage our health! Therefore, you have to review your living habits and make changes to protect the health of yourself and your family!
I'll admit that I've had these bugs before, such as flushing the toilet in the middle of the toilet or being too lazy to clean my phone and doorknob. But now I really understand that these habits can be annoying!
