Women should avoid the five major health misunderstandings

Nowadays, urban white-collar workers try every possible means to maintain their health. Do methods such as colon cleansing and fasting really have health-maintaining effects? Given the high pressure in daily work and life, it is certainly important for white-collar workers to maintain their health. However, the methods must be used correctly. One cannot blindly believe in some health advertisements, which may affect the normal functioning of the body and organs at any time.

[Misconception 1] Detoxification and beauty care through colon cleansing and fasting

In order to detoxify and beautify their skin, many celebrities choose to do colon cleansing to clear toxins from the body, which not only avoids embarrassment in social situations, but also makes the skin more transparent and radiant. People who are not used to colon cleansing can also choose fasting, regularly choosing one day a week not to eat, and only eating fruits or honey water to eliminate toxins from the body.

Misconception analysis: Colon cleansing will make the intestines thicker. If you do it frequently, it will cause intestinal paralysis and lead to some man-made diseases. In addition, the use of fasting detoxification method also varies from person to person. Different people have different physical constitutions. Some people have weak spleen and stomach. If they do not eat and eat cold foods such as fruits all day, it will cause bloating. If you are a person who needs a lot of physical strength to do work, fasting will cause fatigue, dizziness, and symptoms of hypoglycemia.

[Misconception 2] Natural aloe vera is a "tonic"

With the increase of social pollution, people pay more attention to green and natural health. Natural food and skin care products are widely favored by people. Aloe vera is a health food and beauty product that is deeply loved by people.

Misconception analysis: People should not generalize. At the same time, for aloe vera, there are only more than ten species among more than 500 species that can be used as medicine, and only a few species are edible. Therefore, people should not blindly label all aloe vera as "tonic", "health food" or "beauty product", and they should not eat aloe vera as a tonic. You should know that the aloe-emodin contained in aloe vera can easily cause diarrhea in people. The properties of different varieties of aloe vera can also vary greatly, and the effects after consumption by people with different physiques are also different.

[Myth 3] Brushing your teeth immediately after a meal can protect your teeth

Many people have been taught since childhood to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths after meals to remove residues and protect the health of their teeth. Children in particular are forced to brush their teeth every day. There are also some white-collar workers who, after a dinner party, while others are busy preparing for the next round of entertainment activities, they leisurely take out their toothbrushes and brush their teeth in the bathroom.

Misconception analysis: The latest research by dental experts shows that brushing your teeth immediately after a meal will not only fail to protect your teeth, but may also damage them. Because there is a layer of enamel on the surface of the tooth crown, after eating, especially acidic food, the enamel of the teeth will become soft. Brushing your teeth at this time will cause damage to the enamel. Over time, the habit of brushing your teeth after meals will make the enamel of the teeth become less and less, and it will also make people's teeth become abnormally sensitive. When eating, you may feel sour, soft, or painful. The most scientific time to brush your teeth after a meal should be 1-2 hours after a meal.

[Misconception 4] Don’t worry if you don’t have a good figure, I have shaping underwear

Today's society is one where thinness is considered beautiful, and women are scrambling to lose weight. However, some lazy girls are used to using shaping underwear to reshape their bodies, forcing excess fat in to highlight their "beautiful" figure. You see, you can have a good figure without dieting or exercising, who wouldn't be tempted?

Misconception analysis: You might want to think about why shapewear can hide fat? It's because shapewear is tight enough! Wearing shapewear for a long time will affect blood circulation and sweat excretion, causing women's private parts to become damp, providing conditions for bacterial reproduction. Especially for white-collar workers who have to sit in front of the computer in the office all day, if they wear body-shaping underwear, it will affect blood circulation due to excessive restraint, which will not only cause cold hands and feet, but also lead to irregular menstruation.

[Myth 5] Gym fitness is most suitable for white-collar workers

Because white-collar workers are usually busy with work and life, they have little time for exercise. However, after becoming a member of a gym, they can arrange their own exercise time at will. Except for working hours, they can go whenever they like. Moreover, working out with colleagues and friends in the gym allows you to exercise and have a small gathering at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Misconception analysis: White-collar workers often spend their daily lives and work indoors, but when they exercise and need a lot of oxygen to breathe, they also do it in a closed gym. As a result, the body's cells cannot get the bathing of nature outdoors, which can easily lead to white-collar workers suffering from sub-health, low resistance and other problems. Therefore, if white-collar workers want to exercise and keep fit, going outdoors on a sunny day to get close to nature, running or doing exercises are very beneficial to health.
