Beware of 7 fashionable diseases in summer. Love beauty but also love health

Fashion Patient 1: Cool belly-baring outfit

Navel-baring outfits are youthful, bold and avant-garde, and are very popular among young women today. But while showing off their charm, young women should not neglect the care of their navel, even in the hot summer!

Health warning:

People say that "the navel is the root of the internal organs and the origin of vital energy." In traditional Chinese medicine, the navel is an important acupuncture point - the Shenque point. The navel connects to the internal organs and is the gateway to resist external evil. It has the function of transporting Qi and blood to the whole body. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and kidneys, restoring Yang and rescuing adverse conditions, harmonizing the stomach and intestines, promoting Qi and diuresis, dispersing nodules and relieving stagnation, and activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation.

The navel is also the part that is most afraid of catching cold. Protecting the navel regularly and preventing it from being invaded by wind and cold is very important for health. Especially for young women, especially those during menstruation, their blood vessels are in a state of congestion. Wearing belly-exposing clothes is most likely to cause pelvic blood vessels to contract due to cold, resulting in menstrual blood flow disorders. Over time, it can cause dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation, irregular menstruation, etc.

In addition, wearing belly-baring clothes will expose the waist and abdomen, which are easily affected by cold and heat stimulation, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, leading to the invasion of pathogens, and causing gastrointestinal system diseases such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Moreover, the skin of the navel is delicate and easily damaged, and dirt easily accumulates in the navel, which may cause infection if not handled with care.

Fashion Patient No. 2: Skinny Jeans

Jeans syndrome, also known as jeans disease, is caused by tight jeans that wrap the hips too tightly and the belt that is wrapped tightly around the waist, which will compress the nerves in the pelvis and affect blood circulation. Over time, it will lead to pain and discomfort in the waist and legs, numbness, soreness, difficulty in flexion and extension, etc. Therefore, you should be careful not to wear tight jeans for a long time. Jeans are called the "shadow killer" of health. Jeans that are popular all over the world hide health killers. Jeans may have adverse effects on the sciatic nerve and human reproductive system.

Health Tips:

If you have a hard time putting on your jeans when you get up in the morning and you feel like pouring a can of lube into your pants, you should be aware that your pants are a little too tight. Think of your shapewear, leggings, and other super-tight clothing, and don't forget those super-high heels, all of which put a lot of pressure on your legs. When you're wearing those drawstring leggings all the time, chances are that after a long day, you'll miss your loose, comfortable pants so much.

Of course, as long as you choose the right jeans and pay a little attention to your life, the above terrible diseases will not easily "come to you". The first thing to consider is the fit. The right style for you should be one that fits your body perfectly without any discomfort when you put it on. When trying them on, after buttoning them, lift your knees toward your chest to see if they are comfortable. Second, the fabric.

The fabric of jeans should be elastic and breathable, fit the body and be comfortable. Again, model number. When trying on jeans, squat down and look at your back in the mirror. If most of your buttocks are exposed or there are more than three horizontal stripes of fat on your abdomen, it means that the waist of the jeans is too low or the size is too small. Finally, don't wear it often. You should prepare some loose cotton pants to wear as replacements.

Fashion Patient 3: Fashion Accessories

When you wear jewelry, have you ever thought that these beautiful-looking necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. are actually very dangerous. They may be mixed with metal components such as nickel and chromium, which can easily cause skin allergies, itching and burning sensations, and even form ulcers in severe cases. Moreover, studies show that women are about 10 times more allergic to chromium and nickel than men.

There are three main types of "jewelry diseases": one is skin allergies caused by inferior jewelry. Since the ingredients of the products are very complex and the processing technology level is low, they often contain some elements that are harmful to the human body.

The second is skin diseases caused by not paying attention to ring hygiene. Some people develop skin diseases such as tinea manuum after wearing rings for a period of time. This is because rings are often worn on the hands, and sweating in the summer can easily cause local moisture around the rings, allowing mold and bacteria to grow and multiply in large numbers. In addition, there will often be some soap, laundry detergent, cosmetics and other dirt left on the contact area between the ring and the skin. If it is not removed in time, it will easily cause skin infection over time.

The third is infection caused by "piercing" jewelry. Due to the constant friction and contact between the damaged local tissue and the jewelry, skin infection is very likely to occur.

Fashion Patient No. 4: Flip-flops

In the summer, sprained ankles become common because of people's love for flip-flops. Moreover, when wearing thin-soled flip-flops, the body's center of gravity will unconsciously lean forward, greatly increasing the pressure on the ankle, easily leading to calf muscle sprains and plantar fasciitis. Over time, the cartilage tissue between the ankle and knee bones will also degenerate, leading to bone hyperplasia and even the appearance of bone spurs.

The soles of flip-flops may look soft and comfortable, but most flip-flops are designed with a completely flat and thin sole, so your foot will end up sinking in too much. The soles of normal people's feet have a certain curvature, which can also help us cushion the vibration when walking. Walking in shoes is like directly contacting the ground without wearing shoes. It can neither fit the curvature of the soles of the feet nor provide enough support for the feet. This can cause pain in the back of your heel, arch, and toes. Flat shoes that are too flat can easily hurt your feet for this reason and are not as comfortable as they look.

Flip-flops do not have a complete shoe design, they only have two thin straps, or only a V-shaped belt across your toes. When walking, they cannot provide enough support for the instep to lift the slippers, and you can only rely on the strength of your toes to "clamp" the two straps. When you walk, you lift your toes last, so the muscles and tendons have to do all the work. In order to hold the shoes more firmly, the toes will unconsciously tense for a long time and curl up to "grab" the soles of the shoes. If this twisted state continues for a long time, it will cause tendon strain under the toes and even nerve inflammation.

Fashion Patient No. 5: Poor Quality Sunglasses

Will wearing sunglasses with plastic lenses in summer harm your eyes? If you wear unqualified sunglasses, the darker the color of the lenses, the greater the damage to your eyes. The hospital's ophthalmologist said that it is best for citizens not to wear low-quality sunglasses. Because low-quality sunglasses cannot block ultraviolet rays at all, you should buy sunglasses from regular eyewear stores, and it is best to wear sunglasses with lighter colors.

It is reported that wearing dark or low-quality sunglasses made of resin will dim the light in front of your eyes, and in the dark, your pupils will become larger, thereby increasing the light entering your eyes, while low-quality sunglasses cannot block ultraviolet rays. Therefore, the amount of ultraviolet rays entering the eyes will also increase. Furthermore, the coating of inferior sunglasses is easily damaged, the lens surface is irregular, and the external objects you see are deformed and distorted, causing sore and swollen eyeballs, and gradually leading to symptoms of visual fatigue such as nausea, loss of appetite, forgetfulness, and insomnia.

Wearing low-quality sunglasses for a long time may cause dry eyes, fatigue, burning, pain, tearing, or dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts; in severe cases, it may cause irreversible damage to the cornea, lens and retina of the eyes, and may even easily cause diseases such as cataracts and retinal light damage.

Fashion Patient No. 6: Suspender Skirts and Hot Pants

Many young women often wear suspender skirts and backless clothes. Recently, I have encountered many women who became ill as a result in the outpatient clinic. Data from a certain hospital showed that this year, it had prescribed herbal medicine to hundreds of fashionable women who had arthritis due to wearing too few clothes and seeking coolness. Now, coupled with the cold caused by air conditioning, you may not feel any discomfort in your twenties or thirties, but when you are forty, your shoulders will start to hurt. Therefore, you should be careful not to let your shoulders and back get cold often.

Periarthritis of the shoulder, also known as "leaky shoulder", is mostly caused by wind, cold, dampness or long-term overwork. In the past, frozen shoulder was called "fifty shoulders", but now many young women often wear suspender skirts and backless dresses, and catch cold from air conditioning. They may not feel any discomfort in their twenties and thirties, but when they reach forty, their shoulders start to hurt, which is considered "forty shoulders."

In fact, whether it is "fifty shoulders", "forty shoulders", "thirty shoulders" or "twenty shoulders", they are all mainly related to the stagnation of qi and blood. When Qi and blood stagnate, blood flow slows down, meridians become blocked, and pain occurs. To make an inappropriate analogy, stagnation of Qi and blood is like the freezing of Qi and blood in the shoulders and back. It can be seen that the best way to relieve periarthritis of the shoulder is to dissolve the frozen Qi and blood.

For example, you can use a hot water bottle for hot compress. The method is: before going to bed every night, pour 80℃~90℃ boiling water into the hot water bottle, wrap a layer of towel around it (if it is too hot, you can wrap it with two layers of towels), put it on your shoulders at night, and lie down to sleep. Slowly, let your shoulders absorb the heat from the hot water bag. The blood will flow smoothly when it is warm. The pain will naturally be relieved. Generally speaking, people with mild symptoms can be cured within one day, and people with severe symptoms will see significant pain relief after a week.

Fashion sickness No. 7: Hair removal

Summer is here, and "hair removal" has been listed as a compulsory beauty course just like whitening and sun protection. In order to get rid of body hair, girls who love beauty have used many methods, such as waxing, depilatory cream, and clipping. These methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but can also cause physical harm if used improperly. Experts say that you must be cautious when choosing a hair removal method. Beauty is important, but safety comes first. For example, laser hair removal is safer and more effective than other hair removal methods.

When using depilatory cream, redness, swelling, heat and pain are manifestations of allergies and people should use it with caution. The chemical ingredients in depilatory creams are irritating to the skin. Frequent use or skin sensitivity can cause redness, swelling, allergies, and even rashes. Therefore, people with sensitive constitutions should use it with caution, and it should not be used during menstruation or when there are wounds. In addition, depilatory cream only removes the hair on the surface of the skin, and the remaining body hair remains in the pores. Once the half-broken hair ends penetrate into the hair follicles, it can easily cause folliculitis. However, using tweezers to pull out the hair roots will cause the pores to open, making it easy for bacteria to invade, and it may also cause folliculitis, which will cause small red papules and pustules. If you want to use depilatory cream, people who are prone to allergies should do an allergy test before use.

Many people believe that body hair will become thicker the more they shave, but this worry is actually unnecessary. The growth trend of body hair is thick at the root and thin at the tip. Cutting the hair at the root will make the pores appear to become wider; the newly grown body hair will grow upward instead of diagonally, which will also create the illusion that the body hair has become thicker. It is best to trim the body hair to 0.5 cm in length. It is difficult to remove hair that is too long or too short. At the same time, reducing the intake of greasy and irritating foods and eating less condiments such as MSG can also help inhibit the growth of body hair.
