Don't squat in this place when you go to the toilet

There are many small details in life. If you do them well, they will ensure your health. If you do them poorly, they may be harmful to your health. Have you achieved these habits?

1. The worst location in a public restroom – the middle toilet

A study by Goban shows that people tend to choose the middle toilet seat when going to the toilet, so the toilet button has more bacteria than the toilet seats at the two ends.

Countermeasure: When going to the toilet, it is best to consciously avoid the middle toilet and choose the toilets at the ends.

2. The worst place to cool food – the refrigerator

Placing a large dish of steaming hot food directly into the fridge can result in uneven cooling and can even cause food poisoning, as the heat from the dish will raise the temperature inside the fridge and allow bacteria to grow.

Countermeasure: After the food is cooked, it is best to cool it on the table for 1 hour, or divide it into small portions and put it in the refrigerator, so that it will cool faster.

3. The worst place to put a toothbrush - next to the bathroom sink

The washbasin is usually next to the toilet. Chuck Gobban, professor of environmental microbiology at the University of Arizona, pointed out that there are 496,000 bacteria per square centimeter on the toilet. When flushing the toilet, these bacteria can be flushed 30 centimeters away and contaminate your toothbrush.

Countermeasure: It is best to place the toothbrush in a cabinet with a door in the bathroom.

4. The worst place to watch TV: the dining room

If you are distracted while eating, you may unknowingly eat too much food. Studies have shown that people who watch TV while eating eat faster and eat 71% more than those who listen to music while eating.

Countermeasure: It is best not to watch TV in the restaurant.

5. The worst place to put your handbag – on the kitchen table

The bags people carry with them may be placed in various places: on the bus, in restaurants, and even in public toilets, which turns your beautiful handbag into a mobile bacteria storage room. The survey found that there were 65,000 bacteria per square centimeter at the bottom of a handbag, and as many as one-third of the handbags carried E. coli.

Countermeasure: Handbags must be kept away from food and never placed on the kitchen table.

6. The worst places to use headphones: on planes, subways and trains

Studies have found that when you use headphones in a noisy environment, you tend to turn up the volume too high. For example, in an airplane cabin, the volume of headphones can reach as high as 89 decibels, causing ear damage.

Countermeasure: If you want to listen to music, you should do so in a quiet environment.

7. The worst location for a bedside lamp – above the bed

Although the light shining directly from the top of the bed is bright enough, it will hinder the secretion of melatonin in the human body, thus affecting sleep.

Countermeasure: It is best to place the bedside lamp next to the bed, which will not affect your reading and will help you fall asleep.
