Serious can be cancerous! Beware of changes in 2 physical examination indicators, which are usually easy to ignore! Don't let the medical exam go in vain

Good lifestyle habits are the key to staying healthy. However, many people don't realize that some of the "good habits" that we take for granted can be all wrong, and some people even repeat these habits every day!

[Myth 1]

Soak your feet in winter, the hotter the water, the better the effect

Soaking your feet before going to bed in winter is a good habit. When soaking their feet, some people feel that the hotter the water, the better the effect, and it is not hot or hot or even considered foot soaking.

If the water is too hot, even if you don't feel hot, soaking for a long time can cause low-temperature burns, whitening, redness, swelling, peeling or blisters, and in severe cases, tissue necrosis.

The best water temperature for adults to soak their feet is about 40°C~0°C; Children are extremely sensitive to temperature, and the elderly are sluggish to temperature, so the best water temperature for soaking their feet is about 0 °C ~ 0 °C, and the water temperature should be tested by the family first to prevent burns.

[Myth 2]

A spoonful of lard is equal to five pairs of medicines, and lard is more nutritious

Compared with other oils, lard has a special flavor that cannot be replaced, which can stimulate people's appetite and make dishes more delicious. In particular, the old people often say: a spoonful of lard is equivalent to five pairs of medicine! Some people think that eating lard regularly is more nutritious and healthy.

"One spoonful of lard equals five doses of medicine" is nonsense. Animal fats such as lard, butter, and sheep fat contain more cholesterol, and excessive intake will lead to an increase in blood cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Vegetable oil should be the main part of the diet, and the type of cooking oil should be changed frequently to make it more nutritious.

[Myth 3]

Often with low back pain and back pain, it is better to sleep on a hard bed

Nowadays, many people have the problem of low back pain, and some people give advice on this is "go home and sleep on a hard bed, a hard bed is good for the waist", so some people remove the mattress and sleep directly on the bed board with a sheet.

Due to the "S" shaped physiological curve of the normal human spine, sleeping on a hard bed in the supine position will lead to the suspension of the human waist, which will lead to the inability of the waist muscles to relax in the long run, resulting in tension and soreness, spinal stiffness, and then leading to strain or straightening of the curvature of the spine.

It is advisable to choose a mattress of medium firmness: the 1:0 principle. That is, for every 0 cm mattress, you can press down 0 cm by hand. At the same time, the mattress needs to have the ability to support the physiological curvature of the human spine evenly.

[Myth 4]

A light diet means a long-term vegetarian diet

The most common thing we hear is that doctors always advise "pay attention to a light diet". However, many people have a misunderstanding of a light diet, believing that a light diet is "trying to be vegetarian and not eating meat".

A light diet is not only about eating vegetables, but it is recommended not to eat foods that are too greasy, sweet, and have a strong taste.

A light diet should also try to eat both meat and vegetables, and pay attention to a balanced diet every day, including vegetables, fruits, grains, protein sources and moderate amounts of fat. On this basis, we should advocate a light taste, less oil, less salt and less sugar.

[Myth 5]

The longer you brush your teeth, the cleaner your teeth will be

Brushing your teeth for more than 5 minutes does not remove more tartar from the surface of your teeth. Conversely, prolonged brushing can also damage tooth enamel and form wedge-shaped defects.

Brushing your teeth for 3~0 minutes a day is idealThis is enough to adequately clean the mouth of bacteria and food debris without over-irritating the oral tissues.

[Myth 6]

Earth-pressed oil is pure and natural, and the nutrition is healthier

When it comes to the choice of cooking oil, many people think that self-pressed oil is more natural and safer, but is this really the case?

Unlike the refined oil sold in supermarkets, earth-pressed oil must be tested for mycotoxins, and the toxins must be controlled within a certain limit. The oil crops and oil extraction process of soil oil may be contaminated with yellow yeast yeast mycotoxin, resulting in excessive yellow yeast mycotoxin, so try not to eat soil oil extraction.

[Myth 7]

Pluck your ears regularly, clean and healthy

From childhood to adulthood, people habitually use various tools such as cotton swabs or ear spoons to remove earwax from the ear canal. This behavior is often seen as necessary to keep the ear canal clean and comfortable. But what is the truth?

Although the ear has no feet, the ear canal has the function of cleaning itself, and the ear may take the opportunity to roll out of the ear canal with a little help in life, such as talking, eating or sneezing.

Without ears, you are equivalent to a layer of protection, and you will be more likely to be injured by noise, cause otitis media, etc.In addition, the tools we use to pick out our ears are too rough, and the ear canal is too fragile, which can easily perforate the eardrum eardrum.In severe cases, it can even lead to intracranial infection and deafness。
