When it comes to toothpaste, many people fall into choice difficulties.
(Actually.... It comes down to .... Poor)
Toothpastes with similar prices have their own functions, some can prevent moths, some can whiten, some can stop bleeding, and some can target tooth sensitivity... There are even toothpastes that claim to be resistant to Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori infection may happen between you and me
As a class 1 carcinogenic factor of stomach cancer, Helicobacter pylori is also the culprit of many stomach diseases.
According to the Conservative Estimates of the World Gastrointestinal Organization (WGO), at least 50% of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori.
As a populous country, China is naturally the country with the largest number of infections, with an infection rate of up to 59%, which is equivalent to nearly 700 million infections.
That is to say, for every 5 Chinese, 3 have been infected with Helicobacter pylori.
Once infected, if timely treatment is not taken, it is easy to increase the probability of chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, and even stomach cancer.
Is anti-Helicobacter pylori toothpaste really effective?
Nowadays, there are many toothpastes on the market that can kill Helicobacter pylori, can this toothpaste really play a role in anti-Helicobacter pylori?
Since November 2020, there have been many anti-Helicobacter pylori toothpastes on several online shopping platforms. The price of each toothpaste is not the same, ranging from a dozen yuan to hundreds of yuan.
But in fact, once infected with Helicobacter pylori, this bacterium will survive and multiply in the gastric mucosa, and it is necessary to take scientific and standardized quadruple therapy for treatment, with all aspects of daily life, in order to play a role in eliminating this bacterium.
No matter what kind of toothpaste is priced, it cannot kill Helicobacter pylori directly to the stomach, and there is no treatment or relief effect for this bacterium.
Therefore, no matter which kind of toothpaste, it will not play a role in treating Helicobacter pylori. Once infected with this bacterium, it is necessary to quickly go to a regular hospital for scientific and standardized treatment.
How to prevent Helicobacter pylori infection?
In daily life, it is necessary to do a good job in preventing Helicobacter pylori infection.
1. Prevention of personal hygiene
Before eating, before eating, after going to the toilet, and after going out to return home, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with running water and hand sanitizer or soap, and Helicobacter pylori can be transmitted through fecal-mouth, mouth-mouth and other ways.
Of course, after-toilet hand sanitizer not only prevents Helicobacter pylori, even if you do not have poop on your hands, but it may also stain the "regular customers" of the intestines such as E. coli, if you accidentally infect the stomach, it may also cause diarrhea and other discomfort.
Second, dietary prevention
Helicobacter pylori is highly contagious, and in addition to being infected by intimate and indirect contact with an infected person, it can also be infected through diet.
In daily life, do not eat any unclean food, and do not use unclean tableware. Also, don't eat raw and cold foods, such as raw steak, raw meat, or sashimi.
Family prevention
If one person in the family is infected with this bacterium, the odds of the other person getting it will be very high.
In daily life, it is necessary to adopt a meal sharing system, and each person must have their own set of utensils, dental appliances or other personal items.
For adults, do not feed your baby mouth-to-mouth. All cutlery must be disinfected regularly. If there is no disinfection cupboard, it can be boiled in hot water for 30 minutes, which also has a certain disinfection effect.
Use chopsticks to prevent not only Helicobacter pylori
For adults, kissing, eating and other ways to infect Helicobacter pylori is not much, at present many medical scientists prefer: infection with Helicobacter pylori is basically in childhood, adult infection is not much,
However, it is recommended that you use public chopsticks at dinner, not only for the prevention of Helicobacter pylori, but because there are too many pathogens transmitted by saliva, such as influenza, chickenpox, measles, open tuberculosis, hepatitis A, hepatitis E... The current coronavirus may also be transmitted through saliva contact.
So, it's still the old saying---- don't be bothered, prepare a pair of chopsticks for dinner!
