1, cold water keeps women away from health.
Generally speaking, there are three ways for women to contact external water. One is to drink water, the other is to wipe your face, and the third is the most common way, that is, to immerse your body in water, such as bathing, swimming, soaking in hot springs, and doing housework such as washing dishes, washing vegetables and washing clothes with water.
However, according to the "Women's Water Health Survey" in 2004, at present, 92% of households in China have water health problems, and the water health status of couples over 40 years old is more serious, exceeding 98%.
In our country, the vast majority of women have the traditional virtue of diligence and housekeeping. However, this frugality has also cost women. At present, 86% of housewives in China suffer from arthropathy or gynecological diseases to varying degrees, and the "culprit" of illness is cold water, which has a lot to do with women's reluctance to use hot water to save money.
Female health care experts point out that cold water is highly irritating and contains high bacteria. Frequent contact can lead to arthritis, stomach cold, gynecological diseases and other diseases. It is an invisible killer of women's health, and housewives who often wash their faces with cold water are more likely to cause health problems.
Cold water: keeping women away from health
Professor Wang Dongpo from the Institute of Physiology of Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that human body is afraid of cold because "the human body is weak in yang, lacking in qi and blood, and cannot warm muscles to resist the invasion of exogenous cold pathogens". Women are afraid of cold mostly because of their yang deficiency constitution and poor tolerance to colder things. Scientific research also found that "sensors" in women's skin are extremely sensitive. As long as the brain receives "cold" information, the blood circulation system will naturally retreat to the second line of defense and feel cold instantly.
In the water system, many cities in northern China use groundwater. Even in summer, the water temperature is extremely cold, far below the comfortable temperature required for laundry. Once the cold air is inhaled into the body, the hands and feet are extremely cold. Over time, women are prone to joint pain, general fatigue and other symptoms.
According to the organizing committee of "Women's Water Health Survey", there is a real case worthy of attention: a woman in Hebei washed a lot of clothes in the dormitory in winter and soaked in biting cold water, which caused the joint of her right arm to be twisted, and her hands and fingers could not be straightened, and caused severe rheumatoid arthritis.
On the other hand, women's unique physiological cycle and poor resistance also determine that they are often exposed to cold water stimulation, and germs are easy to invade the body, thus causing diseases such as colds.
At the same time, there are still some women who have the misconception that taking a cold bath is good for health and insist on it all the year round. As we all know, for women, taking a cold bath will make some gynecological diseases take the opportunity to "touch" the upper body. According to medical experts, taking a cold bath, because the water temperature is too low, the human body will feel cold, which will produce a series of stress reactions, such as rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, muscle contraction and nervous tension. Especially for women in menstruation, lactation and pregnancy, cold water stimulation will cause a variety of gynecological diseases, which will seriously affect women's future pregnancy and health.
Cold water keeps women away from health. The Women's Health Branch of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association appealed to the director that in order to prevent arthritis and gynecological diseases, women should effectively inhibit germs and enhance human immunity, and use water appropriately in family life.
Hot water: 5 times healthier than cold water.
Statistics show that hot water is five times as effective as cold water in cleaning and sterilization, which is not only comfortable, but also can ensure health. In the survey, we found that 90.8% families think it is necessary to increase hot water in their lives, 84.2% families agree that hot water is five times healthier than cold water, and 60% consumers think that hot water should be extended to housework such as laundry and cooking.
Throughout Europe and the United States, the use of hot water has become quite common. The ratio of hot water to cold water has reached 9: 1, and the bath water in Europe and America is about four times that in China, about 150 liter/person.
In contrast, there is a huge gap in the use of hot water in China. Although in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other large and medium-sized cities, some families choose to bathe alone, surf bath or even steam massage room, but they don't know enough about the wide use of hot water in daily life. In the eyes of China families, only high-end hotels have 24-hour hot water, which is a luxury.
It is understood that the investment of European and American countries in hot water systems has far exceeded the sum of their consumption of color TV sets, refrigerators and washing machines, which is about five times that of China. In the scope of use, European and American countries have extended to the whole household water system, and cold water is only used for drinking and flushing toilets. In China, hot water is only used for drinking and bathing;
In fact, there is a deep-seated reason for China to restrict the use of hot water, which is the energy shortage and rising energy prices in China. However, the high energy cost doomed that the hot water civilization in China could not be realized under the traditional energy background, and the electric and gas water heaters popularized in China for 20 years could not undertake and complete the hot water revolution.
2. How should a woman take care of herself?
1. Insulation
It is the guarantee for all girls to refuse all troubles and keep warm. Girls often have poor body cold and qi and blood, which leads to poor resistance and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is an important task to keep warm anytime and anywhere and prevent yourself from catching cold!
Nourish with water
Women who are smooth inside and outside are all made of water. The water in the body should not be excessively consumed, and the body must always ensure sufficient water metabolism. Therefore, as a girl, whether it is drinking water or moisturizing, it is an important job to nourish the body!
Exercise
Don't relax. You want to keep your skin in the best condition. Exercise is the best panacea for rejuvenation. Insist on doing proper aerobic exercise every day and always keep the best condition. Exercise can best reflect how much you pay and how much you get!
Don't wear heavy makeup
I like light makeup. Try not to wrap yourself behind the powder pile. Just put on a light makeup, and keep it elegant, and it won't bring too much burden to the skin. Do a good job of cleaning the skin, so that the skin has enough space to breathe air!
5. Don't go on hunger strike.
Adhere to healthy and scientific weight loss, and don't use hunger strike to lose weight. Fasting will seriously damage your health and destroy your internal functions. Without health, everything is zero!
