0 1 The new fashion favorite "shark pants"

"Shark pants" are usually made of synthetic fibers, and the texture looks slightly shiny like shark skin. In order to better show the curves of the legs, they not only require high-strength elasticity, but also have fleece lining to achieve a slimming and warm effect, so they are called "shark pants."

Shark pants meet people's needs for sports comfort and can also show fashion taste and personal charm. Therefore, shark pants have gradually become a popular dressing element in the fashion circle. In recent years, with the rise of sports and leisure style and people's pursuit of healthy life, the popularity of shark pants has become more and more obvious.

02Transformed into new autumn johns

Different from traditional autumn trousers, shark pants have become the new favorite of young people this winter because of their "hip-lifting and abdomen-tightening" features. They are believed to be windproof when worn outside and warm when worn inside, and at the same time do not make them look bloated. They are much better than the loose and fat-making autumn trousers of the past!

but!

Shark pants ≠ long johns!

Long-term wearing may cause health problems!

"Lift the hips and tighten the abdomen" to compress the internal organs

One of the main reasons why people choose shark pants is because of its abdominal-tightening function. Wearing shark pants can make the lower abdomen flatter and make people look much better. However, many people have reported that they feel pain in the abdomen after wearing them for a period of time. This is actually the protest of the internal organs.

Wearing tight pants for a long time will not only make people feel extreme oppression, but also reduce the blood supply to the leg muscles, causing calf swelling and nerve damage. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to damage the nerves.

At the same time, pants that are too tight at the waist will continue to tighten the waist and abdomen, which will increase the pressure on the internal organs. It is easy to cause acid reflux and heartburn after food is swallowed. Over time, problems with the digestive system will also occur.

Skinny legs and tights, skin protests

Compared with traditional tights, shark pants emphasize the functions of tightening the abdomen, lifting the buttocks, and slimming the legs. The main feature is the word "tight". Not only that, some people buy shark pants of a smaller size to outline their figure in pursuit of a thinner and better-looking figure. However, they do not know that when they are obsessed with their figure, their skin has begun to protest.

In winter, the skin is dry, and shark pants wrap the body tightly, so the skin cannot breathe normally. Especially after sweating, the sweat cannot evaporate in time, which can easily cause pores to be blocked, local skin may become red and swollen, causing folliculitis, and also easily lead to rough skin. In addition, wearing shark pants for a long time can easily cause follicular papules due to friction.

In addition, shark pants that are too tight will compress the lower limbs and cause blood circulation disorders. If they are not kept warm properly, they will also cause cold membrane inflammation , that is, cyanotic lumps will appear on the outside of the thighs. The lumps are hard and painful.

03 Don’t wear clothes that are too tight

In many people's minds, the tighter the clothes are, the warmer they can keep. Therefore, in winter, many people choose to wear very tight clothes to keep warm. But in fact, in winter, the peripheral blood vessels contract and blood circulation is poor, so it is not advisable to wear tight clothes.

Wearing a turtleneck sweater or a scarf that is too tight may induce carotid sinus syndrome .

There is a bulge at the junction of the end of the common carotid artery and the beginning of the internal carotid artery, which is the carotid sinus. There are special sensory nerve endings in the carotid sinus that can clearly feel the pressure of the outside world. It is a sensitive human receptor that can regulate our blood pressure and heart rate. If the collar is too high, too tight, too hard, or the scarf, tie, etc. are too tight, it may cause "collar syndrome".

If you don't want to wear long johns in winter, wearing slimming socks instead of long johns for a long time will cause long-term compression of blood vessels in the lower limbs, decline of vascular function, and multiple peripheral vascular diseases of the lower limbs such as varicose veins, phlebitis, vasculitis, and even leg ulcers. If the trouser legs and socks are too tight, it may cause swelling, numbness, and coldness of the lower limbs, and even cause risks such as venous thrombosis.

Although fashion items are fashionable, they cannot be worn as winter warm clothing. Shark pants can be worn for a short time, but they cannot be worn for a long time, nor are they suitable for daily wear in winter. Style and temperature, let's choose temperature first!
