Bypass 7 annoying health problems that trap you in life and easily break them

Find out what little troublemakers are lurking in your life so you can fix them yourself.

Toothpaste that freshens your breath may cause: Mouth ulcers

Sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS for short, is a common cleaning product that may be in your toothpaste. It can change the distribution of bacteria in your mouth, irritate tissues, and cause ulcers.

Solution:

Change your toothpaste to one that does not contain SLS. Also, be careful with pungent fruits, such as pineapple.

Sugar-free chewing gum, refreshing and safe May cause: diarrhea

Sugar-free chewing gum usually contains sorbitol or mannitol, neither of which is easily absorbed by the body. The small intestine will help you excrete more water, causing you to feel sticky when you go to the toilet. Solution: Eat less sweets, or at least eat them slower

Coffee always makes you energetic. It may cause: stomach pain

Caffeine causes more stomach acid to be produced, which is irritating to your stomach and may cause stomach pain.

Solution:

Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach. Eating something at the same time can help you share some of the stomach acid; or choose charcoal-roasted coffee.

Cheese is a good calcium supplement. It may cause: headaches

Cheese contains an amino acid called tyramine, which changes blood flow to the brain and causes abnormal contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. This abnormal pulsation can give you headaches.

Solution:

Avoid foods that contain tyramine: nuts, cured meats, pickles, overripe fruits, and alcohol.

Fashionable small shoes may cause: foot cramps

Muscle movement requires a certain amount of space. If you always make things difficult for yourself, your muscles will feel like they are in a clamp and your movements will be affected.

Solution: If you really can't bear to part with that pair of shoes that are a bit too small, just put a tennis ball under your feet from time to time. This can promote blood circulation in the soles of your feet, relax your muscles, and save you money on foot massage.

A nice, hot bath may cause: Dry skin

Hot water and traditional bath products strip away the cells on the skin's surface that have the ability to retain moisture. They also strip away oils from your skin's surface, which can cause your skin to become dry and itchy.

Solution:

Switch to a shower gel with moisturizing ingredients; or shorten your bathing time and try steam baths more often. Pat yourself 80% dry with a towel, leaving some moisture for the skin to absorb. Finally, apply some body lotion.

Mint tea after a meal may cause: heartburn

Mint tea is a great drink, but not ideal after a big meal. Because a full stomach is under considerable pressure, and mint relaxes muscles, it may relax the structure called the cardia between the stomach and esophagus, leading to acid reflux. Solution: Eat your food in smaller portions and avoid other substances that can trigger heartburn: fried foods, chocolate, high-fat foods, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and acidic foods like citrus and tomatoes.
