Gold and silver jewelry have radiation, will wearing it for a long time cause cancer? Reminder: Wear 5 kinds of jewelry as little as possible, which can easily harm your health

"Doctor, I recently heard that gold and silver jewelry have radiation, and wearing them for a long time can cause cancer. Is this true?" Aunt Wang's voice was a little uneasy. A middle-aged woman with a worried look walked in, wearing a glittering gold bracelet on her wrist and a string of delicate pearl necklaces around her neck. Her name is Aunt Wang, she is fifty years old and a jewelry lover. I asked her to sit down and patiently explained: "Aunt Wang, gold and silver themselves are not radioactive, so they will not release radiation. However, some jewelry may contain other metal components, or certain chemicals are used in the processing process, which may have a certain impact on the human body. However, when it comes to carcinogenicity, there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence that wearing gold and silver jewelry can cause cancer." Despite this, I still reminded Aunt Wang that there are five types of jewelry that are best worn less or not because of their materials or production processes, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to the body:

Lead-containing jewelry:

Some cheap alloy jewelry may contain lead. Long-term exposure to lead can cause damage to the nervous system, especially children, who are more susceptible to it.

Symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, abdominal pain, memory loss, etc. In severe cases, it can even damage brain development.

1. Gold Plated Jewelry:

The metal layer on the surface of gold-plated jewelry is easy to fall off, and the exposed underlying metal may cause an allergic reaction to the skin.

Common allergic symptoms include rash, itching, redness and swelling.

Magnetic therapy jewelry:

Although magnetic therapy jewelry claims to have health benefits, its efficacy lacks scientific basis, and long-term wearing may interfere with the normal operation of medical equipment.

For example, magnetic materials may affect the function of medical devices such as pacemakers.

Jewelry made of plastic or synthetic materials:

These materials may decompose at high temperatures, releasing harmful substances, and are difficult to clean and prone to breeding bacteria.

Long-term wear may cause skin infections or other health problems.

Heavy jewelry:

Wearing a heavy necklace or bracelet for a long time will put extra burden on the cervical spine and wrists, which may cause muscle fatigue or even injury.

Especially when exercising or sleeping, heavy jewelry may cause accidental injuries.

I told Aunt Wang that when choosing jewelry, she should pay attention to the safety of the material and avoid wearing products that may cause harm to the body.

At the same time, it is also very important to clean your jewelry regularly and maintain personal hygiene.

Next, I would like to explore other considerations when choosing and wearing jewelry:

People with allergies should choose carefully:

If you know you are allergic to certain metals, you should avoid wearing jewelry containing that metal.

Common metals that may cause allergies include nickel, cobalt, etc.

You can choose medical steel, titanium, or pure gold or silver jewelry that does not contain allergens.

Pregnant women and children should be careful when wearing:

Pregnant women and children have more sensitive skin and should avoid wearing jewelry that may contain harmful substances.

Pregnant women should be especially careful because some substances may be absorbed through the skin and affect the fetus.

Pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of jewelry:

Clean your jewelry regularly with a professional jewelry cleaner or mild soap and water, then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid using chemical solvents or rough cloths as they may damage the surface of the jewelry.

Avoid wearing in certain occasions:

Jewelry should be removed during sports activities, bathing, swimming or sleeping to avoid damage or loss.

Chlorine and other chemicals in water can damage jewelry, while friction and impact during sports can also cause damage to jewelry or physical injury.

Choose the right jewelry style:

Choose jewelry of appropriate size and weight, and avoid styles that are too tight or too heavy, which can reduce pressure on the skin and burden on the body.

Pay attention to the quality certification of jewelry:

When buying jewelry, you should choose products with quality certification. These products usually undergo strict safety testing and are more secure.

Learn about the origin of your jewelry:

Find out where the jewelry is made and who manufactured it, choose reputable brands, and avoid buying jewelry from unknown sources, which may pose safety risks.

In short, the selection and wearing of jewelry should be based on safety and beauty.

I hope that every beauty-loving person can show their unique charm while ensuring health.
