"Can you go wash your hands?"
In our daily life, many people are very particular about their habits, such as washing their hands when touching other things, or taking frequent baths.
But in reality, there are things that just look very clean, but in fact they are very dirty.
Frequent bathing and mud rubbing
This may be a little unfamiliar to people in the south, but for people in the north, scrubbing seems to be a must-do in the bathing process.
If some people don't take a bath, they will feel that they have taken a bath in vain.
And when we take a bath, we will always be rubbed off a layer of "mud", many people will think that this is the dirt on the surface of the body, and we must rub it clean.
Therefore, many people will rub hard when taking a bath, and even in summer, they still have to insist on rubbing mud every day.
In fact, this is not actually a clean behavior, but it is very bad for the body.
You must know that when we take a bath, what we rub off is not mud, but the exfoliated cells of the human body, such as the sebum film on the surface of the body, and various secretions discharged from pores when breathing.
And when you take a bath, these things are mixed with water to form the shape of "mud".
If we take a shower every day, it is very easy for us to destroy some of the cuticles on the surface of the body.
In other words, if the protective film on the skin is removed, it is very easy to cause the skin to lose moisture and become drier.
When we take a bath every day in summer, we can actually take a shower or take a shower gel, and we don't need to take a shower every day.
Wrap the food in toilet paper and eat it
When eating fruit or snacks, many people always like to wrap the outer layer in toilet paper and then pick it up and eat it.
I don't know if you have ever had such an experience, when I was a child, I shared spicy strips with my classmates, and I was afraid of getting my hands dirty, so I just took the toilet paper and pinched the spicy strips.
In this way, your hands will not get dirty and will look very clean.
But what we need to know is that although toilet paper looks like a white sheet, it is not paper as its name suggests.
Because when producing toilet paper, in order to make it look white, the merchant will add some "bleach" to it, so as to give people a very clean and hygienic feeling.
However, if we use toilet paper and food in direct contact, then there will be a chemical reaction between the two, resulting in some "harmful substances".
Generally speaking, these bleaching agents are very difficult to be broken down by the human body, and once consumed, they will accumulate in the liver for a long time, thus releasing some carcinogenic factors.
Therefore, the "way to eat" that looks very hygienic is actually not so hygienic.
Flushing while using the toilet
There was an article on the Internet called "Don't flush the toilet on the way to the toilet", which also caused many people to discuss.
In fact, in daily life, when someone goes to the toilet, they will feel a foul smell, so they will flush the toilet halfway and then continue.
In the minds of many people, there is nothing wrong with this practice, if you flush the toilet first, then you can ensure that the bathroom is not so smelly.
However, if you think carefully about this kind of living habit, which looks very clean, you will find that there are actually many shortcomings.
The moment we press the flush button, the water in the toilet bowl will instantly rotate, and in the process, an aerosol will be formed.
And this substance itself contains a lot of viruses and bacteria, which is very bad for people's health.
Experimental data have shown that these aerosol particles can be ejected in the air at a speed of two meters per second.
That is, it only takes eight seconds for them to be sprayed up to a height of 1.5 meters above the toilet.
Besides, we didn't leave the toilet during the halfway flushing process, so it was very easy for the bottom of the water to splash, and if it was serious, it was likely to cause a feeling in the urinary system.
In other words, the dirtiest time in the bathroom is not when people go to the toilet, but when they flush the water.
When you get up in the morning, fold the quilt
In daily life, the first thing many people do when they get up is to fold the quilt.
After all, when the whole quilt is folded, it will make the room look very spacious.
But what many people don't know is that it is actually a very unhealthy thing to fold the quilt just after getting up, and Guangming.com has published similar articles before.
You know, in fact, our human body itself is a relatively large source of pollution, in the daytime, we go out, in fact, our bodies will be contaminated with many bacteria.
If we go home and go to bed without taking a shower, the bacteria on our body will get on the quilt.
Even if we go to bed after taking a shower, our body will still excrete a lot of water vapor during a few hours of sleep.
In this way, our close-fitting quilts are actually "contaminated".
If we fold the quilt as soon as we get up during the day, then the "polluted" area will not be well ventilated at all.
If it takes a long time, it is very easy to breed mites, and then affect our health.
Although a small number of mites do not have much impact on our health, if it continues like this for a long time, it will actually lay a hidden danger for skin diseases.
Therefore, after we get up, we should actually turn the quilt over so that the reverse side is facing up for ventilation, and if we want to fold the quilt, we should wait for a while to fold it.
Wipe the dishes with a towel
After washing the dishes, many people will take a rag to wipe off the remaining water on the bowl, and then put the bowl in the cabinet.
But in fact, wiping dishes with a rag is actually a very wrong way to clean them.
You know, although the rag is only used to wipe the dishes, but after each use, it is actually wet.
In such an environment, it is very easy for bacteria to grow on the rag.
And if we then wipe the dishes with such a rag, then it is equivalent to saying that the originally cleaned dishes are once again contaminated with bacteria, and this is how the "disaster comes from the mouth".
Therefore, when we clean the bowl, we can actually let it drain automatically, and there is no need to wipe it with a rag.
If you really want to use a rag, you must pay attention to changing it regularly, or take it out to dry after using it every day.
