The most popular health care model in the circle of friends is destroying the Chinese

This is an age of popular wellness

The younger you are, the more afraid of death

I only dare to eat half an egg every day, for fear of high cholesterol

Come to my aunt and only eat ice cream with red dates

After soaking in the nightclub, insist on going for a night run when slightly drunk

Wear ripped pants and put a warm baby in the hole

The days go by, and the “birth” is nurtured every day

“Huh? Why is my body getting worse and worse?!”

Small Science Time

Whether it’s staying up late, or wearing a mask to stay up late

All are easy to damage skin function

Accelerate skin aging[1]

Because staying up late will reduce the repair ability of the skin barrier

Also affects hormone secretion

Hormones in turn affect the secretion of sebaceous glands

Causes oily, acne-prone, enlarged pores, etc.

Furthermore, the mask has only a short-term moisturizing effect

Not long-lasting moisturizing, nor curing acne-prone skin

Daily application makes the skin barrier fragile

So, you must sleep in beauty sleep~

National Sleep Foundation Recommendations

Sleep 7-9 hours a day[2]

Small Science Time

We all know that smoking and drinking are not good for burning your head

How bad is that?

About 3 million people worldwide die from alcohol consumption every year

5.3% of total deaths

Over 200 diseases and injuries are associated with alcohol[3]

Tobacco kills more than 8 million people worldwide every year

Causes a range of diseases such as cancer, lung disease, cardiovascular disease, etc.[4]

Dyeing and perming is not so toxic

But may cause allergic skin reactions

Causes hair changes, hair loss

Prolonged and repeated exposure to hair dye,

May also cause liver and kidney damage

There have been such case reports

A 24-year-old boy

Severe liver damage due to repeated hair dyeing[5]

Importantly, young people who have already carried the banner of health care

Don’t think that taking health supplements can “detox”

Abusing supplements can also cause liver damage[6]

That would make things worse

Small Science Time

Vegetables are a favorite among dieters

Rich in vitamins and dietary fiber

Eat 300~500 grams of vegetables every day

Can help reduce cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and more

Risk of chronic disease[7]

Add a ‘icing on the cake’ salad dressing

It tastes so good, I eat a big pot…

But in fact, the main raw material of salad dressing is vegetable oil,

Water, egg products, acidic ingredients

Traditional salad dressings typically contain a minimum of 50% fat[8]

This means that for every spoonful of salad dressing

It’s like drinking half a spoon of oil!

If you don’t believe me, microwave the salad dressing for 1 minute

See if it turns out

Might as well replace it with low-sugar or xylitol yogurt, which is healthier~

Small Science Time

Girls can’t quit milk tea

Just like men can’t quit smoking

But I am afraid of getting fat after drinking, what should I do?

Reluctant to add pearls, no sugar!

But, you still missed the most important “cream”

Because there are many milk tea shops on the street

Actually neither milk nor tea

It is blended with various powders!

1 pack of 18 yuan creamer powder can make 80 cups of milk tea

It’s for milk

If no creamer is added

It’s just a drink of loneliness

The main ingredient of the creamer is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which contains trans fats

Excessive intake can increase ‘bad cholesterol’ in the body

Increased risk of arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease[9]

It’s better to use real milk and tea at home

Boiled like thisIsn’t milk tea more fragrant~

Small Science Time

Red dates, wolfberry

It is a must-have product for the work and life of contemporary young people

But they contain limited nutrients

Lutein in Lycium barbarum is rich in “improving eyesight”

But many vegetables and fruits can be substituted

The utilization rate of iron in red dates is low

It’s better to eat more red meat

3 dates, 10 wolfberries

One ​​Bubble One Day

In the end, it tastes like drinking boiled water

Intake of nutrients is also very limited

Of course, drinking plain water every day is a good habit

Cold drinks are different

Large cold drinks can cause gastric mucosal vasoconstriction

Reduces gastric secretion, causing decreased appetite and indigestion[10]

At that time, no amount of hot water could cure it

Small Science Time

“Keep Your Mouth” Painful

“stretching my legs” is too hard

Weigh in and skip weekday dinners

Have a great weekend meal

Did you do that too?

This is a big mistake!

If you eat much fewer calories than usual every day

The body thinks it has encountered a “famine”

reduces basal metabolic rate

Slows fat digestion and tends to store fat

Guaranteed to survive “hard times”

So dieting alone is not enough to lose weight

Once the original diet is restored

Easy to bounce back and gain back more fat

What’s more, it’s a jerk

Small Science Time

I don’t know when

Wearing long johns has become a sign of aging

Don’t wear long johns to be a young teenager

You who don’t wear long pants

You must have experienced the dilemma of “basically shaking for heating”

Shaking and shaking, do you feel a dull pain in your knee?

The knee joint plays an important role in bearing weight

And the fat layer that protects it is the thinnest, so it is most afraid of cold

If there is no protection from long pants in the cold wind

In just a few minutes, the knee joint can get cold

Although there is no evidence that “cold legs cause arthritis”

However, the cold causes local vasoconstriction and insufficient blood supply

Reduced synovial fluid secretion

Injury more easily during activities

The function of foot bath is to promote blood circulation for a short time

A soak before bed may help you fall asleep

But not much help with “cold hands and feet”

Because the double script is far from the heart

It is normal to feel cold in winter

Just wear warm long johns and socks

So while the weather is still cold, hurry up and stock up on long johns

Don’t be blind in winter~

Health is a technical activity

It’s not just anecdotal evidence
