form a good habit in daily life. That is, love hygiene, take a bath, change clothes, wash hands, etc. This is also the embodiment of the degree of human civilization. It is to ensure physical health and not to be troubled by harmful bacteria and endanger yourself or others. According to the relevant investigation and confirmed by experts, the following six things are the dirtiest of some bad habits in people’s daily life.
1. No bath lotion
the survey shows that nearly one-third of women don’t use bath lotion every day, but use water. Experts point out that it is best to decide whether to take a bath or not according to your sweating. The bacteria that cause human body odor live on sweat, especially the sweat discharged from armpits and groins. When you sweat a lot, you can’t wash it with water alone, which will lead to the retention of bacteria. The longer the retention time, the more “smelly” people are.
2. Wash hands without soap after going to the toilet
in the survey, only 38% of people wash hands with soap after going to the toilet, and 2% of people wash their hands for no more than 10 seconds. Experts say that when you wipe the toilet, your hands are very close to the source of E. coli, which is most likely to cause bacterial infection. If you don’t use soap, you can’t completely remove the bacteria on your hands.
III. underwear is not changed every day
in the survey, 52% of women admitted that their underwear is not changed every day. Dr. Charles Geba, a microbiologist, pointed out that about 0.1 g of excreta will be left on underwear after wearing it for a day, which is equivalent to about 100 million E. coli. These bacteria will attach to your hands at any time. If you rub your eyes or even eat without washing your hands, you will catch diseases. Therefore, for your health, you must form the habit of changing underwear every day.
4. Pick up the food and eat it
in the survey, more than 40% of women said they had eaten the food picked up just after it fell on the ground. In the past, there was also a saying called the “5-second rule”, which means that as long as the landed food is picked up and eaten within 5 seconds, it is safe. The researchers point out that this statement will greatly mislead people. Experiments have proved that after food falls to the ground, it will be contaminated by bacteria in only two or three seconds. Therefore, all food falling on the ground should be thrown into the dustbin immediately.
v. going to fitness barefoot
the survey found that 32% of people do fitness barefoot, especially when doing aerobics or belly dancing. Experts suggest that it is best to wear a pair of light shoes at this time. Because your feet will sweat a lot during fitness, the humid environment is most conducive to the breeding of bacteria. These bacteria will be left on the floor through other people’s feet. When your feet step on it, you may be infected with bacteria. Especially tinea pedis (commonly known as “Hong Kong foot”) or plantar wart (a kind of plantar wart) and so on.
6. Do not gargle or brush their teeth before going to bed
43% of the survey admitted that they occasionally forget to brush their teeth before going to bed. Experts remind that people’s saliva secretion will be greatly reduced during sleep, and these saliva is the main force to kill bacteria. Therefore, an accidental failure to brush teeth may cause oral bacteria to take advantage of the situation, resulting in a great increase in the risk of dental caries and periodontal disease. In addition, many studies have confirmed that the bacteria that cause periodontal disease can also cause your heart problems.
