Myth 1: Brush your teeth immediately after meals.
No! According to the latest research by dentists, brushing your teeth immediately after meals is harmful to your teeth health. There is a layer of enamel on the surface of the crown. Just after a meal, especially eating acidic food, the enamel will soften. Brushing your teeth at this time is easy to cause enamel damage. Over time, the enamel of teeth will gradually decrease, which is easy to make people allergic to teeth. When eating, teeth will have symptoms of acid and pain. Therefore, the dentist reminds that it is best to rinse your mouth with clear water after meals and brush your teeth after 1-2 hours.
Myth 2: Intestinal lavage, fasting, detoxification and beauty.
Many people obviously insist on bowel washing beauty, the purpose is to keep their bodies away from feces and toxins, avoid embarrassment in social occasions, and make their skin transparent and shiny, which is better than simple external cosmetics. People who are not used to this method can choose fasting to detoxify, that is, eating only fruit or drinking honey water one day a week can also play a role in eliminating toxins in the body.
No! Chinese medicine also stresses detoxification. In addition to normal defecation, urination and sweating, the ancients even said that bloodletting and detoxification were carried out during the Spring and Autumn Period. However, intestinal lavage is easy to thicken the intestine, and repeated stimulation for a long time will paralyze the intestine, which will eventually lead to some human-induced diseases. The method of fasting and detoxification should also vary from person to person. Some people have spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and if they eat cold things such as fruits, they will have flatulence in their stomachs. If you are an overworked worker, if you don't eat when you should eat, you will have symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness and hypoglycemia, which will have an impact on your health.
Myth 3: Body-shaping underwear can have a good figure with no effort.
Listen to the TV shopping column, what does the shopping guide lady say about shaping underwear? Body fat can be moved. Let's look at Japan, which is the earliest place to shape underwear in fashion. The first fans are all 60-year-olds now, and their bodies are still dressed more than 30 years ago. Who do you think can resist such temptation?
No! Body-shaping underwear clings to the body, which not only affects normal blood circulation and sweat excretion, but also leads to vulva dampness and bacterial reproduction. In particular, girls wearing tights for a long time will not only affect their development, but also induce diseases such as breast hyperplasia or cysts. Therefore, health care experts remind that women have many important organs in the abdomen, such as uterus and ovaries. Wearing corsets for a long time will make muscles tense and affect physiological functions. Waist girdling may also affect blood circulation of lower limbs. If you spend eight hours a day "shaping" and are in a state of abdominal hypoxia, it is harmful to your body.
Myth 4: Pay attention to diet and exercise is equal to losing weight.
If you think that doing these two things well is enough to ensure weight loss, you are all wet. You may have overlooked another major factor: sleep problems caused by weight loss. Dr Evie Van Cooter, who studies sleep at the University of Chicago, said: "Americans are also the most overweight and obese. Maybe we should consider the possibility between obesity and sleep. Lack of sleep will lead to our appetite disorder. " Everyone has their own normal sleep time. If the sleep time is less than this time, even if it is only one hour, it will lead to hormone imbalance in his body.
After analyzing the blood of these sleep-deprived people, it was found that the leptin content in their blood, which controls people's appetite, decreased. When we eat to a certain extent, leptin will "tell" that we are full. At the same time, the content of plasma hunger hormone in blood increased. The function of plasma hunger hormone is that when our body is short of heat supply, it will send out hunger information and urge us to start eating.
Myth 5: Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health.
With the increase of age, the earlier melatonin related to sleep is secreted, so the elderly tend to go to bed early and get up early, which is more in line with the natural physiological clock. Young people (especially teenagers who are still developing) only need to work and rest according to their own physiological clock; But it is better not to exceed 1 1 pm, because it is the secretion time of growth hormone in vivo from 1 1 pm to 1 am. If you don't sleep at this time, the developing young people will not grow tall, and adults will easily get old.
Myth 6: Chinese medicine is hot to drink.
Generally, traditional Chinese medicine decoction should be taken "warm", that is, the decoction should be filtered out immediately after boiling, and then drunk when it is dried to 30℃-37℃ at room temperature; Pills and powdered Chinese patent medicines should be taken with warm water, which is also a warm service. Traditional Chinese medicine for dispelling cold should be taken while it is hot. After taking it, you can eat some hot porridge and hot water to help the medicine. Drugs that detoxify and clear away heat, especially Chinese medicines that relieve summer heat, have better effects. In southern China, some "herbal tea" that is often drunk in summer actually belongs to a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. As the name implies, many herbal teas are drunk cold, and it is better to drink cold.
Myth 7: Muscle will become fat if you don't exercise.
For people who spend three or four days a week doing physical exercise, if they stop exercising, will their muscles get fat? Dona Richardson-Yule, a health care guru, said, "This will not happen. Muscle is muscle and fat is fat. There is no mutual transformation between the two. " Walter Thompson, a professor of sports science at Georgia State University, said that muscle is a relatively dense substance, while fat has a relatively high density. When you stop exercising, your muscles will become a little slack, but they will not become fat. Is the reverse true? It's a pity that physical exercise won't turn fat into muscle. Lal Sz mansker, a member of a sports club, said: "Although fat will not be converted into muscle, if you want to have developed muscles, you must do stretching exercises to eliminate excess fat in your body."
