Many people have the habit of washing their hair and taking a bath before going to bed, one of the head of the dust washed off, clean bed, and the second is a relaxed, comfortable bed to sleep, to get rid of the fatigue of the day. In fact, after a day of hard work, the night is the most fatigue, but also people's body's ability to resist the lowest time. Wash your hair at night before going to bed habit of people, because there is no serious dry hair, so that a lot of water retention in the scalp surface, especially in winter when the night temperature is low, the residual water is very easy to solidify in the cold air. Long-term residual water coagulation head, which leads to people stagnant blood, meridian blockage, depression into the disease, especially in winter, cold and wet, more prone to disease, is one of the important causes of a large number of chronic headaches.
The internist explained to the people, this headache medically known as scalp subcutaneous venous plexitis. The first stage of this type of disease is the patient's scalp localized stagnation and numbness, most people have numbness at the top of the head, accompanied by a lingering pain. On examination, localized thickening and coarsening of the scalp can be palpated, and even the phenomenon of subcutaneous mass is raised. This kind of phenomenon is mostly seen on the cranial groove suture, in the form of segmental, striated fascia, and some people can also feel granular nodules on the top of the head.
Doctors remind people who have the habit of washing their hair at night, if you often wash your hair at night can not be completely dry in time, and suffer from unexplained dizziness and headache accompanied by a feeling of numbness in the head, may be suffering from this disease, should be timely to the hospital, with the help of the doctor to relieve or alleviate the pain at the earliest possible time. If such symptoms have not yet appeared, you should take early measures, first of all, to change the habit of washing your hair at night, and secondly, to dry your hair after washing, or blow dry with a hairdryer, to ensure that the cleanliness, relaxation, and health are not misplaced.

2 7 Keys to Sleeping Through the Night
November 4
The weather is getting cooler, and it's a major torture to have to crawl out of the warm comforter first thing in the morning.
If you're always about to be late before you bother to get out of bed, and you're listless and yawning throughout the day, what you need is to set up your wake-up rituals as soon as possible, which will help you open your eyes with pleasure without having to set your alarm clock.
Change is always difficult, but think about it: the time you wake up each day is the beginning of the day, and if you can wake up happily, you're bound to be in a good mood all day.
1 Timing
You've heard that it's important to go to bed at a regular time every day, and if you just can't do it, try waking up at a regular time every day, and in less than six weeks, the actual rhythm of your sleep will match your physiological rhythms, "Regularity is very important in setting the physiological clock," according to Marth, a professor of psychology at Cornell University. professor Marth argues.
So don't go back to sleep, either, which will confuse your physiological rhythms even more; don't hesitate to get up as soon as you open your eyes.
It's important to keep this routine even on weekends. If you pull an all-nighter every weekend and then sleep until noon the next day, immediately you'll know the pain and have to wake up wailing again on Monday.
Professor Mars suggests that even if you stay up late on the weekends, you should still get up at a regular time and take a little midday nap to catch up on your sleep, but the less you do this, the better.
2 Sunlight
If waking up early is an impossible task for you, let the sunshine help. That's because those full-spectrum sunbeams regulate the concentration of serotonin and melatonin in the bloodstream. When exposed to light, serotonin causes the body's metabolism to speed up, making you want to go to bed earlier that night and get up earlier the next day.
If you don't have the luxury of waking up early in the morning and wandering off into the sunshine, you can open the curtains to let the sunshine in, or prepare a bright light and turn it on as soon as your alarm goes off. Stick with it, and one day you'll realize that you'll be up and about in good spirits before the alarm goes off.
3 Sound
Have you ever realized that it's easy to press the alarm clock that has been with you for years because your brain is so used to ignoring familiar sounds, so you can prepare two or three alarm clocks to take turns, or be a little more romantic and use music to wake you up, because music promotes the flow of oxygen and blood in the brain, and it makes your body want to move too.
What's the best music to listen to? Nancy Manson, author of 24 Hours of Energy, suggests that if you're looking for a pick-me-up, you should listen to music. Nancy Manson, author of "24 Hours of Energy," suggests that if you're looking for a pick-me-up, go for something like a Mozart violin concerto, or if you want to get energized early in the morning, go for something danceable
4 Breathe Deeply
Breathe y when you wake up to get your body moving through the day. First inhale slowly, as if to the top of the head, and then all the air out, stop for two seconds, and then do it again, can make the body full of fresh air in the morning, the day is also easy to be energized.
5 Water
As soon as you get up, go to the water to drink, will let the body know that a new day is going to start. And humans will sweat about a cup of water during sleep time. If you drank alcohol the night before, it will make your body feel like it's in a desert, so drinking water first and then going into the restroom to get rid of the old waste matter will make your body feel very comfortable.
6 Fragrance
The fragrance will also stimulate the brain, improve perceptual function, and drive away sleep and fatigue. That's why some people make coffee early in the morning and wake themselves up with its aroma. If you have a balcony planted with herb plants, you can also pick a piece of mint to soak in the water after putting water on the washstand, mint has the effect of promoting blood circulation, this move is also beneficial to the skin.
7 Sweet
Waking up early in the morning always feel dizzy, because after a night of digestion, this time the brain is no nutrition, the brain's energy source is glucose, this time immediately supplemented with sweet food, such as bananas, apples, will immediately have an effect.
Try it, a wonderful morning is waiting for you.

4 Long-term computer use harms women
June 2
Women who have been involved in computer-related work for a long period of time have a 43 percent higher risk of developing breast cancer than the average non-computer work practitioner. That's according to a research study in Taiwan, where there are currently about 3 million computers and most of the people working with computers are women. If you work in front of a computer for a long time, it will increase the chance of breast cancer; pre-menopausal women have a higher chance of developing breast cancer than post-menopausal women.
The study also found that human beings exposed to certain electromagnetic radiation for a long time are prone to leukemia, cancer and even miscarriage. Experts pointed out that the correct use of computers can reduce the side effects of computers on the human body. The human body should maintain a distance of no less than 80 centimeters from the computer screen and no less than 120 centimeters from the back and sides of the computer.

5 ABC's of preventing computer dry eye
March 10
Do not "look away" and pay attention to frequent and complete blinking on your own, often blinking reduces the amount of time that the eyeballs are exposed to the air and avoids the evaporation of tears.
Don't blow the air conditioner for too long, avoid air currents blowing over the seat, and place tea near the seat to increase the humidity of the surrounding area.
Eat a variety of fruits, especially citrus fruits, as well as green vegetables, grains, fish and eggs.
Drinking plenty of water is also helpful in reducing dry eyes.
Keep good living habits, get enough sleep and don't stay up late.
Avoid continuous operation of the computer for a long time, pay attention to the middle of the rest, usually continuous operation for an hour, take a break of 5 to 10 minutes. When you take a break, you can look away or do eye exercises.
Maintain good working posture. Maintain a most appropriate posture, so that the eyes look flat or gazing downward lightly at the fluorescent screen, which can make the neck muscles relaxed, and minimize the area of the eyeballs exposed to the air.
Adjust the fluorescent screen distance position. The recommended distance is 50-70 centimeters away, while the fluorescent screen should be 10-20 centimeters slightly below eye level, making a downward viewing angle of 15 degrees to 20 degrees. Because the angle and distance can reduce the demand for refraction, reducing the chance of eye fatigue.
Create and maintain good working conditions. The light in the surroundings should be soft, the brightness of the computer fluorescent screen should be appropriate, the clarity should be good, and the height of the desk and chair should match the height of the computer.
The brightness of the display can be adjusted to half of the maximum brightness, in order to see the content clearly but slightly darker than the surrounding objects as appropriate.
If you originally have little tear secretion and your eyes tend to be dry, contact lenses are not suitable for use in front of a computer, and you should wear frames. For those who wear contact lenses in front of the computer, it's also best to use varieties with a high degree of oxygen permeability.
People over the age of 40 are advised to use bifocal lenses, or to wear glasses with a lower prescription when typing.
If there is redness in the eyes, burning or a foreign body sensation, heavy eyelids, blurred vision, or even a swollen eye or headache, which does not get better after resting, then you need to go to the hospital for medical attention.

7 Early Salt Soup Like Ginseng
Army, Sept. 24
If the body sweats more, it can lose some of the body's sodium ions and potassium ions, producing hyponatremia or hypokalemia. This requires replacing sodium and potassium, usually by drinking more lightly salted water and foods and beverages high in potassium. However, many people are after sweating, or even when the body appears to be tired and weak, dry mouth, dizziness, muscle pain, numbness in the hands and feet and other symptoms of sodium deficiency, only to drink some light salt water. This passive sodium, the body's metabolism slows down, the burden on the kidneys increased, often do not play a role.
The folk proverb says, early drink salt soup such as ginseng soup, late drink salt soup such as arsenic. If people take the initiative to make up for the sodium, before sweating a lot or when it is hot in the morning when you get up to drink some light salt water, to ensure that the body after sweating sodium content is still basically meet the requirements, can maintain the normal cellular metabolism, stabilize the intra- and extracellular osmotic pressure, regulate the body's acid-base balance, to maintain a more vigorous energy, not to appear body fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms. In addition, drinking a cup of light saline water in the morning can be quickly absorbed by the body and play a role in diluting the blood, increasing blood flow and preventing cerebral thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. Drinking salt water in the morning is also a good way to prevent habitual constipation and health care.

The mothballs in your closet could be the "invisible killer" in your home. Mothballs contain a chemical called "p-dichlorobenzene", which is classified as the sixth category of toxic goods, and there should be a warning sign on the packaging of its products, but according to the survey, mothballs containing this ingredient are rarely marked with a warning sign on the packaging. According to the survey of 400 Harbin residents by Creative Trust, only 5.5% of the consumers know that camphor pills contain p-dichlorobenzene, while 94.5% of the consumers do not know. In addition, 95.5% of the people do not know that p-dichlorobenzene may be harmful to human beings, and only 4.5% of the people know that it may be harmful to human beings. In some supermarkets on the shelves of the vast majority of mothballs contain PDCB (p-dichlorobenzene), but most do not have warning signs to remind consumers to use caution.

----According to Xinhua News Agency on March 13, as an endocrinologist, Teng Weiping, a representative of the Ninth National People's Congress and vice-president of China Medical University, carried out a two-year research on iodine nutrition, which proved that: at present, the majority of Chinese people are not iodine-deficient, but iodine-excessive. The results proved that most Chinese people are not iodine deficient, but are suffering from iodine overdose, which has led to an increase in thyroid disorders. The monitoring results also showed that in 1999, the iodine content in the urine of Chinese residents had reached 306 micrograms per liter, exceeding the international standard of 300 micrograms per liter "warning line".
After reading the news, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If Teng Weiping's findings are true, then, from now on or from 1995 when China began to promote universal salt iodization, billions of Chinese people have been or are being salt iodization "experiments" in confusion! As we all know, "experiments" cannot, are not allowed, and cannot go beyond their specificity and unknowns and be universally applied under specific conditions outside of "experiments"; otherwise, those who have not been discovered at the "experimental" stage will be subjected to the "experimentation" stage of the "experimentation". Otherwise, the problems that have not been discovered or have been discovered but not proved to be in accordance with the scientific laws in the "experimental" stage will produce a series of unpredictable results in the further general application due to its uncertainty.
Take salt iodization as an example. Iodine, as a chemical substance, is indispensable to most organisms, including man. However, "indispensable" does not mean "lacking". Crops "indispensable" water, but does not mean that it "is missing" water, it may be at a certain time, somewhere is being flooded to death! The same goes for people. Even if billions of people are really "are lacking" iodine, you also have to come up with authoritative scientific evidence, how can you "say" lack of lack, not only immediately in the country on the universal promotion of "universal salt iodization ", but also must be 365 days a year to make up non-stop it? Who has so much power to use all the people as "experiments"? And why do you have so much power?
"Universal salt iodization" is a major event that concerns the quality of life of billions of nationals, and why can't it be demonstrated more before it is officially launched? Perhaps when it comes to diseases caused by salt consumption, people will mostly think about how much salt they consume, but Prof. Teng Weiping, a deputy to the 9th National People's Congress, vice president of China Medical University and a renowned endocrinologist, would like to tell you that even if you consume a normal amount of salt every day, it can still cause some diseases in your body, because the problem does not lie in the salt, but the iodine added to the salt is too much.
Professor Teng began his interview by introducing the substance iodine to reporters. Iodine, one of the halogen elements, the most basic elements that make up a living organism, is widely found in the environment where people live, including air, water, food, soil and other most basic elements of life. This means that iodine firstly affects the human body through the natural environment, and it can also be said that the amount of iodine people need to obtain from the outside world every day is related to the environment you live in. The amount of iodine needed by the population is different and stable in different areas due to the natural environment.
So how much iodine does a person need under normal conditions? According to the latest international research report, the thyroid gland in order to synthesize the physiological needs of the thyroid hormone on the iodine requirement is 60 micrograms, even if someone suffers from iodine deficiency, to eliminate all the symptoms of iodine deficiency, the amount of iodine supplementation required per day is 100 micrograms. The recommended international standard for iodine intake is 90 micrograms for infants aged 0 to 59 months, 100 micrograms for children aged 6 to 12 years, 150 grams for the population older than 12 years, and 200 micrograms for women during pregnancy or lactation. This recommended dose by international organizations is already 2.5 times the basic amount needed by the human body.In 2001, the international authoritative academic organization gave the first definition and dose range of adequate iodine intake, super-adequate iodine intake and excessive iodine intake to human beings. That is, the median urinary iodine (the amount of iodine contained in each liter of urine) is less than 100 micrograms/liter for iodine deficiency, 100 to 199 micrograms/liter for adequate iodine intake, 200 to 300 micrograms/liter for super-adequate iodine intake, and more than 300 micrograms/liter for iodine overdose. In the early years of our country's establishment, we were a country with a relatively serious iodine deficiency, with a population of 425 million in the sick area, and the State attached great importance to the prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency. In 1979, a document was issued stipulating that the policy of salt iodization was "iodization for residents of sick areas and no iodization for residents of non-sick areas". According to statistics at the end of 1992, after 13 years of efforts, the incidence of thyroid disease caused by iodine deficiency had been reduced to a level recognized internationally as effective in the prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency. And the results of the 1995 survey show that the amount of iodine put into our national salt has been slightly greater than the internationally recognized level.
In the report, the international health authority also specifically pointed out that iodine intake of more than 300 micrograms per liter should not be encouraged, especially in iodine-deficient areas. This is because excessive iodine can lead to adverse health effects, including iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (I IH) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). A similar article was published in 2002 in the prestigious American Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, which argued that an increase in iodine intake could lead to an increase in the incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease and papillary thyroid cancer. Prof. Teng said that according to internationally recognized iodine research results, the relationship between iodine intake and thyroid disease is found to be in a U-shaped relationship. That is, both too high and too low iodine intake will lead to an increase in thyroid disease. He explained that since iodine is an important element in the ecological environment for human survival, great care must be taken to change this ecological environment. Some developed countries in the international salt iodization also have different views on this issue, for example, most of the countries in Europe, residents are voluntarily consume iodized salt, Denmark is a legislative ban on iodized salt, but there are still 32 countries in Europe are iodine-deficient areas, so Europe is currently one of the lowest iodine intake of the international region.

Professor Teng said that in order to further prove the effects of excessive iodine intake on the human body, he was commissioned by the Chinese Medical Association to conduct a universal iodine nutritional examination with the world's most first-class equipment and the most advanced means and methods in the three regions of China where the iodine content is significantly different. The results found that iodine intake led to a significant increase in the prevalence of hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis, and that the average annual incidence of thyroid cancer in the most serious high iodine region, Huanghua, Hebei, was 13.12/100,000, significantly higher than the incidence in the United States, which was 4.5/100,000. Of course, the Huanghua area may fall into the category of severe iodine excess, but the existing state of iodine overnutrition in China is also a real cause for concern. Ever since the promulgation of the national regulation in 1994 that all salt should be iodized and that only iodized salt should be allowed to be sold on the market, there has been a danger of iodine overdose for a population that was originally about 500 million people with an adequate iodine nutritional status. As we have already mentioned, iodine affects the human body through the environment in the first place, and it is the part of iodine that cannot be obtained from nature that needs to be compensated for from other sources, so universal iodization will inevitably lead to iodine excess in a part of the population. There is a misconception here about the safe dose range for iodine intake. For many years, international organizations have maintained that "an iodine intake of 1000 micrograms per day is safe for healthy adults". In fact, the concept of "healthy population" is difficult to define. It is difficult to identify a large group of susceptible individuals with a predisposition to thyroid disease in the general population without a census. With the implementation of the universal salt iodization policy, the incidence of thyroid disease has also increased dramatically, and the views of international authorities have begun to change, and in 2001, the international authorities for the first time to define iodine overdose.
Professor Teng believes that another reason for iodine overdose is that the concentration of iodized salt in China is grossly excessive. According to national regulations in 1996, China's iodized salt content standards are 50 mg/per kilogram for processing; no less than 40 mg/per kilogram for factory; no less than 30 mg/per kilogram for sales; and no less than 20 mg/per kilogram for users. According to monitoring reports at the national level, the median household iodized salt intake in China reached 37 mg/kg in 1997 and 42.3 mg/kg in 1999. In other words, if you calculate on the basis of 10 grams of salt consumed by an adult every day, the amount of iodine obtained from salt alone every day has already reached the standard of iodine overdose.
