For people who value health, they will pay attention to various details in their lives, fearing that if they do not pay attention to hygiene, bacteria will invade and cause diseases. Indeed, hygiene is a good lifestyle, but the method must be appropriate. If you put in a lot of effort on some useless things, it will be futile. You should understand what is truly meaningful to your health and do it firmly.
What seemingly hygienic habits are useless?
1. Scalding bowls before meals
Many people pay attention to disinfecting tableware. When you go out to eat, wipe the desktop with a tissue. Then these bowls and chopsticks will be scalded with hot water. They feel that with hot water and high temperature sterilization, they will naturally keep the bowls and chopsticks clean and hygienic, which can reduce the risk of germs spread and invasion.
However, if you simply rinse it with hot water, the time is very short. This method and cannot achieve the sterilization effect . To kill microorganisms , you need hot water to soak these bowls and chopsticks for more than half a minute, and the temperature should reach 100 degrees Celsius .
2. Brush your teeth after meals
Maintaining oral hygiene can reduce the prevalence of disease and protect gums and teeth to the greatest extent. Some people brush their teeth after eating, and think that during the meal, they have to participate in chewing, and food residues will be hidden in the gaps, and other parts of the teeth. If they do not brush their teeth in time, soft dirt will continue to accumulate, which will subsequently cause tartar and even produce plaque bacteria.
However, 's mouth quickly acidifies after eating, and the enamel on the surface of the teeth becomes fragile. Brushing the teeth immediately will wear the teeth, which is not conducive to the protection of this layer of enamel . The correct way is to rinse your mouth with clean water and reduce the accumulation of food residues, rather than just brushing your teeth.
3. Pick your nose with your hands
often pick your nose with your hands. If you want to clean up the secretions inside, this is a habit that many people have. You may pick your nose once every two or three days. It seems that a good habit of hygiene will actually cause harm to the body.

In addition, some people have sharp nails, which can easily damage the nasal mucosa during the nose picking process. The fragile mucosa is repeatedly stimulated. Once the capillary ruptures and bleeding , 1, nosebleed , nasal pain , etc., these pathogenic bacteria enter the nasal cavity as the nose picks, and will also increase the prevalence of the disease.
4, frequent cleaning of private parts
Some women focus on cleaning private parts in order to prevent gynecological diseases. cleaning frequency is high , and often use 1 shower gel and detergent . This practice is inappropriate.
If you want to ensure that the private parts are clean and hygienic, you can clean with clean water during the bathing process. flowing warm water can achieve good cleaning effect. In addition, the part itself has the ability to clean self-cleaning, and there is no need to over-clean . If various cleaning fluids are used for a long time, it will destroy the local acid-base balance , thus making the number of pathogenic bacteria more and more, and the body does not have enough resistance to fight germs. gynecological diseases will attack.
