Misunderstandings about trivial matters in life can harm your health

1. Don’t take a hot bath just before going to bed

Too high a body temperature can also inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the brain and affect your sleep quality. Therefore, it is never wise to take a hot bath just before going to bed. The smart thing to do is to take a bath 90 minutes before going to bed, so that by the time you go to bed, your body temperature will have dropped to the most suitable temperature for sleeping. If you have to take a shower before going to bed, apply a cold compress to your forehead at the end to help lower your body temperature quickly.

2. Be sure to disinfect before renting a house

If you are still a renter, then you must be careful! Because "second-hand houses" are the source of most disease transmission, especially in spring when the virus is most easily transmitted. In China, almost no property owner will disinfect the house before renting it out, and mites, influenza virus, hepatitis B virus, mold, etc. can survive for a long time at room temperature. Especially places such as walls, beds, wardrobes, toilets, and sinks must be carefully disinfected. As for air conditioners, washing machines, and water dispensers, special personnel must be hired to disinfect them.

3. Don’t exercise in a gym with bad air

Of course, this refers to gyms with poor air circulation. Because such gyms are filled with waste gases and toxins exhaled by others, and you are most likely to absorb these waste gases and toxins when you are exercising, which will not only fail to have a fitness effect, but will harm your body. Therefore, either choose a gym with good air circulation, or simply exercise outdoors, especially in parks with lush green plants, which are not just places for grandpa and grandma to exercise.

4. You can’t not drink water, but you can’t drink unlimited water

Drinking an appropriate amount of water every day and maintaining water balance in the body are the keys to ensuring good health. However, you cannot drink unlimited amounts of water. Dr. Chen Nan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong said: Drinking more water every day is not necessarily better! Your body is a balanced system, and your kidneys can only excrete 800-1000 ml of water per hour. Drinking more than 1000 ml of water in 1 hour can cause hyponatremia.

5. Don’t drink coffee or smoke when you are tired

Try not to drink coffee or smoke to refresh yourself when you are particularly tired. Otherwise, it will cause irreparable damage to your cardiovascular system. Palpitations and heart palpitations are serious symptoms. In particular, do not drink coffee and smoke when you are tired, otherwise not only will the damage to your body be doubled, but the unique aroma and ingredients of coffee will also increase your desire for cigarettes!

6. Brush your teeth at noon

You insist on brushing your teeth every morning and evening, but the reproduction rate of bacteria in your mouth during sleep is actually only 60% of that during the day. In other words, your mouth also needs care during the day, and you should brush your teeth at noon, especially after a nap. But don't brush your teeth immediately after a meal. It's best to brush your teeth half an hour after a meal to prevent damage to the tooth enamel. Especially after eating French fries or potato chips, you should pay more attention to brushing your teeth.

7. Do not drink alcohol while taking the medicine

New Zealand physiotherapist Smith said: You must abstain from alcohol while taking medication, even if you are just taking simple cold medicine or vitamins, even if you are just drinking the mildest champagne or red wine! Because alcohol will not only affect the efficacy of the medication, it will also amplify the side effects of the medication several times, and is more likely to react with the medication to produce poisons.

8. Always wash your face with warm water

If you develop a habit of washing your face with cold water for a long time, this is fine. However, if you don't have this habit, please be sure to wash your face with warm water. Don't use cold water to save trouble. Otherwise, the pores will be stimulated and suddenly shrink, and the oil and dirt in them cannot be removed in time, which will cause acne. Also, don't use water that is too hot, otherwise the facial skin will expand rapidly, causing premature wrinkles.
