Modern scientific research on clothing and health should first consider the choice of clothing materials, especially underwear that comes into contact with the body. Plant fiber, natural cotton, hemp, straw and silk should be used as raw materials, but many underwear, bras and shirts on the market are not made of healthy materials.
In order to prevent abdominal bulge, tight underwear for slimming obviously compresses psoas and abdominal muscles, hinders arterial circulation and venous return, and will cause diseases of kidney, pelvic cavity and lower limbs.
It is best to use loose, comfortable and natural primary colors instead of printing and dyeing.
There are many processes to make new clothes, from cloth processing, printing and dyeing, cutting, sewing, ironing, inspection, packaging and storage to transportation, wholesale and retail, which often bring harmful chemical and biological pollution.
Moreover, the raw materials of many fabrics are polluted by chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides and defoliants in cotton, plus various dyes, chemicals and heavy metals;
There are also harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde used in ironing, and harmful preparations such as moisture-proof are used in packaging and storage, which makes clothes seriously polluted by bacteria, viruses and chemical poisons, and easily causes allergies, poisoning and cancer.
If you buy new clothes and put them on without cleaning, it will be harmful to your health. Experiments have proved that more than a dozen carcinogens and allergens are related to the production of free radicals in the body.
So new clothes must be washed and dried, or soaked in salt water and washed before wearing.
Clothes should fit loosely, not too tightly, such as tight bras, belts, jeans, etc., which do not meet the hygiene requirements. Young men and women should not wear jeans.
Underwear should be changed every day, cleaned and dried; Especially socks should be washed and dried every day to prevent fungal infection; Shoes should also be washed and dried frequently. Many people wear shoes barefoot, because sweat glands on their feet are very easy to sweat. Without socks to absorb sweat, shoes will be soaked with sweat, which is easy for bacteria and fungi to breed and cause infection.
In particular, it should be reminded that leather shoes, sports shoes and high heels should not be worn for a long time, and shoes made of rubber, plastic and nylon should not be worn, because it is easy to cause pathogenic microbial infection or allergic diseases.
How to use a cleaner washing machine is often overlooked. Few people regularly clean and disinfect washing machines. In fact, after testing, it was found that there were many pathogenic bacteria in the machine and the tank, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and coliform bacteria. Fungal pollution is also very serious, which is often the root of family diseases, especially female pelvic inflammatory disease, urinary tract infection, cervicitis, premature delivery, various gynecological diseases and stillbirth.
Therefore, the washing machine should be opened frequently after use to make it ventilated and dry, every 2? Clean and disinfect once every three months.
Avoid cross-infection when washing clothes, and don't be afraid of trouble. When we went to the school to inspect the dormitory of college students and foreign students, we found that there were many public washing machines. Students threw their underwear, coats, socks and bath towels into the machine to wash them together.
We followed the patient's home and found the same operation, which was not hygienic at all. Because the coat is contaminated by parasites, viruses and other pathogens in the external environment, it will cross-infect through clothes and cause various diseases.
Therefore, it is required to wash the inner and outer coats separately, the clothes of adults and children separately, the sheets, sheets and pillowcases separately, and the dark and light clothes separately; Wash socks by hand alone, and don't use a washbasin with underwear.
The clothes of patients are washed separately from those of healthy people; Wash the changed clothes in time. If you don't have time to wash it right away, lay it in a dry and ventilated place. Don't pile them together or throw them into the washing machine. If a lid is added, bacteria will multiply faster. Dry the washed clothes as much as possible, and don't dry them in the shade indoors.
Dry cleaning is also a chemical cleaning method for laundry. If toxic solvents such as tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene or gasoline are used, it will damage people's liver function or cause cancer. Clothes retrieved from the laundry room should be taken out of the plastic bag immediately and hung in an outdoor ventilated place to volatilize the solution. According to the test, the gas emitted by slightly wet dry clothes is one of the substances that pollute indoor air. It is recommended not to wear dry cleaning clothes immediately.
