Unhealthy living habits (unhealthy lifestyle)

Some habits in life seem hygienic, but they are not. Not only can they not guarantee good health, but they are also harmful to health.

Unhealthy behavior in life

Wrap food in white paper

White paper is used to package food. In order to make white paper white, many manufacturers often use bleach in the production process. When bleach comes into contact with food, it will cause a series of chemical reactions, produce some harmful substances and easily pollute food.

Toilet paper wipes tableware and fruits.

The results of spot checks by the national quality inspection department show that many kinds of toilet paper are not disinfected or not completely disinfected, and contain a lot of bacteria, which are easy to attach to the wiped objects. Only high-grade napkins that have undergone strict disinfection can meet the hygiene standards.

Spread a plastic sheet on the dining table.

Although the dining table is covered with plastic sheets, it looks good, but it is easy to accumulate dust and bacteria. And some plastic sheets are made of toxic vinyl chloride resin. Tableware and food exposed to plastic sheets for a long time will be polluted by harmful substances, causing many unnecessary diseases and affecting health.

Cover food with a veil

Fly-proof gauze covers the food. Although flies do not directly land on food, they will stay on the gauze cover and still leave eggs with germs. These eggs easily fall from the gauze holes and pollute the food.

Dry pots, bowls, basins, cups and other tableware and fruits with towels.

The tap water used in China is strictly disinfected, and the tableware and fruits washed with tap water are basically clean, so they don't need to be wiped. However, there are many germs on the towel, which will cause secondary pollution.

Sterilize bowls and chopsticks with wine.

Some people often wipe dishes and chopsticks with white wine, thinking that they can achieve the purpose of disinfection. As we all know, the alcohol used for disinfection in medicine is 75%, while the alcohol content of general liquor is below 56%. Therefore, wiping bowls and chopsticks with white wine can not achieve the purpose of disinfection at all.

Food that goes bad by heating and pressure before eating.

Some housewives will cook some spoiled food at high temperature and high pressure before eating, thinking that this can completely eliminate bacteria. Medicine has proved that the toxins secreted by bacteria before entering the human body are very resistant to high temperature and are not easy to be destroyed and decomposed.

Wipe the table with a rag.

You will be surprised at the number of bacteria that grow after using the new rag for a week. Therefore, wipe the table with a rag. The rag should be thoroughly cleaned before use, and the rag should be boiled and disinfected with clean water every three or four days.

Dig out the rotten parts of the fruit before eating.

Some people eat fruit, and when they meet the rotten part of the fruit, they gouge out the rotten part and eat it again, thinking it is hygienic. In fact, even if the rotten part of the fruit is cut off, the remaining part has been introduced into the metabolites of bacteria through juice, and even microorganisms have begun to multiply in large numbers, among which mold can cause cell mutation and cancer. Therefore, although the fruit is only partially rotten, it is better to throw it away.

Fold the quilt after getting up.

People sweat a lot every day, and sleeping is no exception. Fold the quilt after getting up. Sweat stays in the quilt for a long time, which not only smells of sweat and affects the comfort of sleep, but also creates a living environment for pathogens, which is not good for your health. The correct way is to turn the quilt over after getting up, spread it 10 minutes and then fold it, preferably once a week.

Toothpaste using the same medicine for a long time

Medicinal toothpaste has a certain inhibitory effect on some bacteria. However, if the toothpaste with the same medicine is used for a long time, the bacteria in the mouth will gradually adapt and produce drug resistance. Therefore, toothpaste should be changed regularly.

Dry towels with waste fluorescent tubes.

Fluorescent tubes contain toxic substances such as mercury, fluorescent powder and a small amount of ammonia. Some families use waste fluorescent tubes to dry towels and handkerchiefs, thinking it is clean and hygienic. As we all know, under wet conditions, if both ends of the pipe are corroded or there are small cracks in the pipe itself, various harmful substances in the pipe will gradually seep out. Especially when the temperature is high, mercury seeps out more, which can pollute towels and handkerchiefs and endanger human health. If these harmful substances directly enter people's eyes, it will lead to decreased vision or even blindness.
