How to prevent static electricity in winter

Winter is here and the weather is very dry. In our daily lives, we are often "harassed" by static electricity: when we comb our hair in the morning, it will become more and more messy, and even stand up; when we take off our clothes, there is often a crackling sound accompanied by blue light; when we touch door handles, pull aluminum alloy windows, or even turn on the faucet, our hands will feel a tingling pain like an electric shock. Such static electricity will cause some trouble to our lives, so how to prevent static electricity in winter? Let's learn how to prevent static electricity.

Improve human body humidity

People who are often "electrically shocked" should drink more water and apply moisturizer. Drinking water can increase the humidity of the skin surface, and static electricity will not be generated automatically in a humid state. Therefore, it is recommended that you use more moisturizer in winter, wash your face frequently, keep your skin moisturized, and prevent static electricity accumulation.

Vitamins and acidic foods can prevent static electricity

Due to the accumulation of static electricity in the body, the blood acidity (pH value) tends to be alkaline. You should consume more foods containing vitamins C, A, E and acidic foods to neutralize the increase in blood alkalinity caused by static electricity. Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat foods such as hairtail and turtle that can increase skin elasticity and moisturizing properties, maintain electrolyte balance in the human body, resist cell oxidation, and protect normal cell membrane potential.

"Discharge" before entering or leaving the door

Before touching the iron door, you can place your palm on the wall or the ground to remove static electricity, or hold a bunch of keys in your hand and then touch the iron door with the tip of a key. In this way, the electricity in your body will be discharged.

Maintain indoor humidity

When the indoor air humidity is lower than 30%, it is conducive to the generation of static electricity by friction. If the temperature is raised to 45%, static electricity will be difficult to generate. Therefore, when low-humidity weather occurs, you may wish to sprinkle some water at home, place one or two basins of clean water in places where it is inconvenient to wet the floor, or turn on a humidifier and plant some potted flowers and plants, which can also achieve the purpose of increasing the indoor air humidity. In addition, place as few electrical appliances as possible in the bedroom and ventilate the room frequently.

Remember to wash your hands after using electronic products

The static charge generated by household appliances will be absorbed and accumulated by the human body. When you turn off the TV and leave the computer, you should wash your hands and face immediately to release the static charge on the skin surface in the water.

Choose cotton clothing

Chemical fiber fabrics are most likely to generate static electricity, so you should try to choose loose and soft clothes. Clothing made of pure cotton and silk materials can reduce the generation of static electricity. This is because cotton cloth does not generate static electricity when rubbed, while other chemical fiber products do generate static electricity when rubbed. The more chemical fiber products are mixed, the more severe the static electricity. In addition, anti-static detergent should be used when washing clothes. Similarly, try to avoid using synthetic carpets, decorations and plastic ornaments in your home.

Try not to play with your hair with your hands

Some people like to run their fingers through their hair and use the gaps between their fingers to comb their hair. However, in winter, if your hands are not well moisturized, static electricity can easily be generated when touching your hair.

The above is my detailed introduction on how to prevent static electricity in winter. Now you have a deeper understanding of how to prevent static electricity in winter. Of course, in our daily lives we should always prevent the generation of static electricity, which is beneficial to our health and at the same time improves our common sense in preventing static electricity.
