Rumor 1
Drinking light salt water in the morning can detoxify
Drinking salt water on an empty stomach in the morning will raise blood pressure and increase health risks. Under normal physiological conditions, the human body only needs 4-6 grams of salt every day, which can be completely satisfied in the diet. Only under excessive sweating or other special circumstances do you need to drink light salt water. Patients with hypertension, diabetes and heart disease are especially not suitable for drinking salt water on an empty stomach in the morning.
Proverbs 2
You can't eat fruit on an empty stomach.
For healthy people, it is no problem to eat fruit at any time, but for some people with chronic diseases, they should be more careful about the time and types. Eating fruit on an empty stomach does not hurt the stomach, not only does it not stimulate the stomach to increase gastric acid secretion, but it will play a buffering role. However, for people with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric erosion, gastric ulcer and chronic atrophic gastritis, try not to eat fruit on an empty stomach, so as not to aggravate the condition. You'd better not believe that eating fruit before meals can make you full. Although it can help you lose weight, its side effects are also very obvious, such as bloating and diarrhea.
Proverbs 3
Repeated cupping can expel moisture.
Many middle-aged and elderly people like cupping. Many people think that cupping can keep healthy, thus promoting the excretion of harmful substances and avoiding the influence of moisture accumulation in the body. Especially people with heavy moisture want to get rid of moisture in this way.
In fact, whether cupping is beneficial should also be judged according to the actual situation. Cupping many times in a short period of time will also hurt the body, and even damage the skin at the cupping site. In addition, if there are infectious diseases, such as skin lesions, don't blindly cupping.
Proverbs 4
Vegetables are healthier when eaten raw.
Many vegetables are really healthier when eaten raw, because they can best retain nutrition, but eating raw is not suitable for all vegetables. From the nutritional point of view, raw food retains most of the nutrients and active substances in vegetables, with better flavor and color. However, protein in some foods needs to be denatured by heating to be better absorbed by human body. For example, the utilization rate of lycopene in tomatoes will be higher after heating.
From a safety point of view, eating raw food may increase the possibility of getting sick. First, some vegetables contain toxins, such as beans, bitter almonds, day lilies, potatoes, ginkgo and so on. If eaten raw, it may lead to poisoning and must be cooked before eating; Second, there will be more germs left on vegetables. Therefore, it is suggested that when eating vegetables, it is best to rinse them with water.
Proverbs 5
Patients with cervical spondylosis should not use pillows.
Nowadays, many "low-headed people with silver hair" begin to suffer from cervical spondylosis because they are addicted to brushing their mobile phones. Some elderly people saw on the Internet that it would be good to get rid of the pillow and lie flat for a few days for cervical spondylosis. From a medical point of view, it is okay not to use a pillow for a short time, as long as the cervical vertebra feels comfortable, you can sleep quietly. But if you don't use the pillow for a long time, you may feel all kinds of discomfort. Because the cervical vertebra and cervical facet joints are in the hyperextension position for a long time, it is easy to cause the muscles in front of the cervical vertebra to overstretch, which in turn leads to muscle strain and premature degeneration. Therefore, when the pain symptoms disappear, it is best to use a pillow when sleeping. In addition, when cervical spondylosis occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Proverbs 6
Making tea in a thermos cup for too long will be toxic.
It is said that after making tea, it will produce tea scale, corrode the thermos cup, and then precipitate heavy metals, which will eventually lead to chronic poisoning. In fact, a layer of dirt deposited on tea leaves contains no corrosive components. The stainless steel used in the inner wall of the thermos cup is an inert material, which is difficult to be corroded. Therefore, "making tea in a thermos cup will precipitate heavy metals" is not valid. But when using the thermos cup, we should pay attention to prevent bacteria from breeding. Because the inner container of the thermos cup is relatively thick, a large number of bacteria will be hidden in a sanitary corner. After one day of use, it should be thoroughly cleaned. You can put a little baking soda in the cup to wash the liner. After cleaning, the water stains in the cup should be fully dried, and then the cup lid should be closed.
Proverbs 7
Soaking feet with hot water is beneficial and harmless.
Some old people think that as long as they soak their feet with hot water every day, they can keep fit. In fact, soaking feet is not suitable for everyone, such as severe heart disease, diabetic foot or varicose veins of lower limbs. Soaking feet with very hot water will accelerate the development of the disease. First, pay attention to the temperature of hot water. Many people often soak their feet with hot water, which easily irritates the skin of their feet and causes burns. In addition, the time for soaking feet should not be too long. Third, don't soak your feet immediately after eating, because soaking your feet will accelerate the blood circulation of lower limbs and may affect the normal blood supply to your stomach.
