In real life, there are many objects that are unknowingly hurting our bodies, but many times we don't know, do you know? Now let the editor introduce these harmful objects. Maybe you still don't know it, but pay attention now, or you will regret it later!
1. The water you drink from the tap may seriously exceed the lead standard
Maybe many people don't know that our tap water quality is up to standard, but the pipes and faucets carrying tap water are not necessarily up to standard, and there may be lead pollution.
Most household faucets are still cast iron or copper alloy faucets, and the main components of copper alloy faucets are copper and zinc, in addition to lead, aluminum, tin, iron, manganese and other elements. The lead element will precipitate after long-term contact with water. The more lead content in the tap material, the more precipitated.
In addition to faucets, cast iron pipes, copper pipes and plastic pipes also contain more or less lead. If these materials are used in water pipelines, lead pollution will also occur. Data shows that every 100 micrograms/liter increase in blood lead content will reduce the height of children by 1-3 cm. If the blood lead increases by 100 micrograms/liter, the child's IQ will decrease by 6-8 points. Lead can cause damage to multiple organs and systems in children, and even irreversible brain damage throughout life.
2. Crispy food, cardiovascular disease and cancer killer
Are you crazy about the food recommended by celebrities like Louis Koo, Stefanie Sun, Jay Chou and so on before the video, and you will feel flustered if you don't eat it for a day, right? Do you want some of these dry noodles and potato chips every day?
When enjoying the delicious and delicious flavor of crispy food, long-term excessive consumption of such food will cause health problems such as high calorie, overweight, cancer risk, etc. In fact, some developed countries have already taken measures to reject crispy food, such as issuing health tips and restricting advertising.
The problem of crispy food is mainly reflected in four aspects: refined carbohydrates, trans fatty acids, carcinogen acrylamide and various additives. Most of the crispy food is baked or fried. Hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated shortening is used in the processing, which contains more or less trans fatty acids. The molecular structure of trans fatty acids is distorted, and it is difficult for the human body to digest and absorb them, which will increase the triglycerides and bad cholesterol in the blood and reduce the good cholesterol, thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Businesses prefer hydrogenated oil, which can not only extend the shelf life of products and thus extend their sales period, but also make food more crisp and delicious. More importantly, hydrogenated oils containing trans fatty acids are cheap.
3. The culprit of the rising incidence of female lung cancer caused by oil smoke
According to the latest 5-year lung cancer epidemiological survey released by Shanghai Cancer Research Institute, young and middle-aged women who have been exposed to high-temperature cooking fume for a long time will increase their risk of lung cancer by 2-3 times. The damage of oil fume to the lung usually causes chronic bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer. The occurrence of lung cancer is due to the oil smoke particles generated by high temperature. These particles smaller than 0.01 microns will reach the bottom of the lung after being inhaled through the respiratory tract, and will combine with the cell membrane of the lung bubbles to generate oxygen free radicals, thus damaging the genes of the lung cells, inducing gene mutations, and leading to lung cancer. The higher the oil temperature, the greater the danger, and the bad family environment and cooking habits are also accomplices.
When cooking beancurd, you can choose steaming, boiling, slow brine and other methods. It is better not to use fragrant frying, hot frying or high temperature frying. These cooking methods are most likely to hurt our bodies. When cooking, don't wait for the oil smoke to come out. It's already too late. We can use the method of water frying. You can put some water in the middle of the cooking, which will reduce the oil smoke and minimize the damage to female friends' skin.
In addition, installing ventilation equipment in the kitchen and reducing the height of the range hood can also make the cooking fume directly inhaled by the range hood, which is a good way to avoid inhaling the fume.
4. Big handbags hurt your lumbar spine, no discussion
The fashionable "big handbags" (bags as big as travel bags) all over the street are becoming the health killers of modern professional women, which hurt the lumbar vertebrae most. "Most of the people who come to see me are women." Guo Xianfeng, director of the Rehabilitation Department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, said that because of the characteristics of work, such as using computers and working at a desk, office women were originally high-risk groups for lumbar and cervical problems. In addition, more and more popular handbags, laptops, mobile phones, fitness supplies, cosmetics, documents, etc., are all packed into the portable handbags, which makes the lumbar spine of professional women even more unbearable.
The human spine, such as a tower crane, will bend to the left when the left side is loaded. In order to maintain the balance of the spine, the muscles on the right side of the spine will actively contract. Due to the difference between the left and right lever arms, the right muscles will generate several times the force of the left side (like the relationship between the long arm and the short arm of a tower crane). If the weight of the left shoulder and back is 5 kg, the right muscle may need to generate 15~20 kg of force to maintain body balance, and this force will eventually compress the lumbar spine. In addition, if you often wear high-heeled shoes, over time, you will accelerate the aging of your waist and back. In addition to the increasing weight of handbags, the handbags' belts are also becoming longer and longer. This extra long belt is also causing health problems in the neck, shoulders and back of many people.
5. Are you afraid of 94 compounds of air freshener?
If you feel depressed, headache, dizziness or flu like symptoms after using air cleaner, consider the possibility of pesticide poisoning. If you have chest tightness, fatigue, eye and nose tingling, remove the air freshener that is emitting fragrance to see if it will be better.
Fu Xiaoxin, Wang Xinming, et al. from the State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry, Guangzhou Chemical Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, detected and analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 14 brands, 15 different fragrance types, and 26 boxed air fresheners sold in various supermarkets in Guangzhou. It was found that the air freshener contained 94 compounds: 18 olefins, 15 alcohols, 14 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 5 ethers, 1 phenol, 25 esters and 12 other compounds, of which terpenes accounted for about 40% of the total compounds.
