People pay more and more attention to health problems, but those who spread all kinds of false knowledge and rumors on the internet under the banner of health also make us hard to guard against.
So as a health science expert, I summed up some knowledge points about health and wellness. Please collect them yourself. Don't panic when you encounter problems in the future, and don't be fooled when you meet fools ~
one
1 level carcinogen-alcohol
Alcohol is directly related to many cancers, such as esophageal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Especially in China, our alcohol metabolism genes are defective and there is no way to effectively degrade acetaldehyde, so drinking alcohol is more dangerous.
So you can stop drinking.
two
Obesity increases the risk of cancer.
Obesity is closely related to rectal cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and many other tumors. Statistics show that obesity will increase the cancer incidence of 13.
Fortunately, obesity is a reversible carcinogen, so act quickly.
three
Runny nose and stuffy nose can be washed with normal saline.
When the nose is itchy, stuffy and runny, washing the nasal cavity with normal saline can not only clean the nasal cavity, but also maintain a healthy and normal nasal environment.
It is especially effective for relieving allergic rhinitis.
four
Snoring means not sleeping soundly.
It doesn't matter if you snore slightly, but if you snore strongly and irregularly, it may be that your body is reminding you that you have sleep apnea. If the situation is mild, the quality of sleep will deteriorate and you will be very tired during the day. If the situation is more serious, you will have a high risk of cardiovascular disease and even sudden death.
If you are a comrade who snores like thunder, go to the hospital for a check-up.
five
Sweating is not equal to detoxification.
Our sweat is 99% water, and other components are less than 1%, including sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, urea nitrogen and so on. Only urea nitrogen can stick "poison", but urea nitrogen is mainly excreted through urine, and the amount in sweat can be basically ignored.
If someone keeps sweating to detoxify, it is not good for the health. For example, if you sweat too much, you will be dehydrated, dizzy and uncomfortable.
six
Wash your teeth once every six months or once a year.
When brushing your teeth, it is difficult to brush off all the dirty things on your teeth, and the minerals in saliva will calcify and deposit, forming tartar. You need to wash your teeth at this time. Tooth washing is an important treatment for gingivitis and periodontitis, and it is the first step to restore gum health.
seven
No food can fight cancer.
Eating more vegetables and fruits every day can indeed reduce the risk of cancer, but no single food has anti-cancer effect, whether it is garlic and onions, tomatoes or cabbage.
If you want to prevent cancer, keep a balanced diet and develop good eating habits, it is the best way.
eight
Don't drink light salt water in the morning.
When sleeping, breathing, urinating and sweating will consume a lot of water, so it is recommended to drink a glass of water first after getting up.
Never drink light salt water, it can not only "detoxify", but also make the body more dehydrated, especially those with heart disease, high blood pressure and abnormal renal function.
nine
Brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar ... even less.
The minerals in brown sugar are a little more than those in white sugar, but they are still very few. The main component is sugar.
Eating too much polysaccharide will not only make you fat, but also increase the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia.
The World Health Organization once suggested that you should not eat less than 50 g of sugar every day.
ten
Vitamin D should be supplemented from childhood to old age.
Vitamin D, which promotes calcium absorption and bone growth, is very important for people, whether adults or children.
Bask in the sun to supplement calcium. Ultraviolet rays can help the skin produce vitamin D. Proper sunlight exposure is an effective way to supplement vitamin D. ..
However, according to relevant surveys, we people in China are generally not exposed to the sun. We go out early and come back late every day for fear of sunburn. It is difficult to completely supplement vitamin D through our daily diet. At this time, additional supplements are needed to meet the demand.
This 10 knowledge point about health should be collected.
Every bit of life is closely related to our health. I hope everyone can develop good living habits and have a healthy body.
