Everyone’s life cannot be separated from five things:
Eat, drink, pull, scatter and sleep
Everyone wants to eat well, sleep soundly and be in good health every day. However, there are some misunderstandings that have fooled many people.
You must have heard of these 20 minor misunderstandings in life.
Eat
1. Red dates and brown sugar do not [enrich blood]
Many women have iron deficiency anemia and like to eat red dates and brown sugar to make up for it.
However, although red dates and brown sugar are red, their iron content is not high:
- 96.6% of brown sugar is sugar, with very little iron content. The iron content in red dates is about 2 mg/100g, which is not a good source of iron.
Thin red meat, blood products and animal liver are really good foods for supplementing iron and blood.
2. Potatoes are a staple, not a dish
The starch content of potatoes is about 17%, a little lower than that of rice (26%).
Sour and spicy potato shreds with rice are actually two meals…
However, potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, with strong satiety and low calories, and are a good staple food choice.
3. The food is moldy and cannot be eaten where there is no mold.
Once the food goes moldy, there will be invisible mold where there is no mold.
Mould may also produce toxins, which spread in food. It is impossible to see how large the range is with eyes. Even if heated, it may not be able to remove them.
Life safety is the most important thing. Throw away the moldy food.
4. The food should be put in the refrigerator while it is hot.
Many people think that it is not good for the refrigerator to put hot dishes directly in the refrigerator, so they always wait until they are cold.
However, the cooling process will provide a good opportunity for bacteria, especially in summer, when the number can double in less than half an hour, and the food may be broken before it is put into the refrigerator.
For the sake of your health, the food should be sealed while it is hot and put in the refrigerator.
Drink
5. Repeated boiling water does not cause cancer.
Tap water contains nitrate, which does produce some nitrite during repeated boiling.
But! After determination, even if boiled water is boiled 20 times repeatedly, nitrite is still far lower than the national nitrite content standard for drinking water.
Drink water that has been burned several times.
6. Juice is not a healthy drink
The sugar content of fruit juice is usually about 10% ~ 16%, which extracts sugar from fruits, but nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber are seriously lost.
Compared with fresh fruits, fruit juice has no nutritional advantages.
In 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics clearly pointed out in its guidelines that babies under 1 year old cannot drink fruit juice.
7. Bone Soup Can’t Supplement Calcium
Bones do contain high calcium, but they are not easy to dissolve in water. Even if stewed for a long time, it is difficult to enter the soup.
Some studies have determined that the calcium content in bone soup is only 2 ~ 4 mg per 100 mL, even less than that in some drinking water.
The thick white color of bone soup is not rich in calcium, but full of fat.
8. Get up in the morning and drink light salt water without detoxification.
Getting up early to drink saline will not only fail to detoxify, but will aggravate the water shortage of the body, which is not conducive to blood pressure and kidney.
The salt intake of Chinese residents generally exceeds the standard, so don’t drink more salt water.
Especially for people with hypertension, heart disease and renal dysfunction, don’t drink it.
Pull
9. Poo does not come out [squatting for a while]
The longer the defecation time, the easier it is to have problems.
The best time to go to the toilet (defecation) is about 3-5 minutes. I really can’t go out. Go out for a stroll and try again.
Books, newspapers, cell phones, tablets… don’t take them into the toilet.
10. It is normal to poop 3 ~ 21 times a week.
Poop is not necessarily pulled every day, it is normal to poop 3 ~ 21 times a week.
Don’t think that if you don’t pull for two days, you will be constipated and start to [defecate] [clear intestinal poison].
Good poop, the most important thing is: to be regular.
As long as you have a regular poop habit, it is not a big problem.
11. There is no best time to poop
After food is digested, the body will expel the remaining residue, which is defecation. It has nothing to do with detoxification, and it is not only morning poop that is healthy.
No matter in the morning or at night, as long as you have the feeling of defecation, it is the [best time] to defecate.
12. [Toilet] is a pseudo-concept
[Subian] is compiled by merchants, and there is no such statement in medicine.
The formation of poop lasts for dozens of hours, and all poop is at least one day ago, which is normal.
For healthy people, there is no stool and no so-called toxin. Do not use all kinds of products [expelling intestinal toxin and clearing stool].

Urine may have other colors. If it appears occasionally, first think about whether you have eaten anything special from what.
If the color continues to change, or there are very heresy situations such as blood color, soy sauce color, milky white and black, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
16. Wipe with paper after urination, you will not get vaginitis.
Using clean toilet paper will not cause vaginitis.
Of course, the toilet paper we use everyday is not completely sterile, but under normal circumstances, a clean toilet paper will not contain trichomonas or other pathogenic microorganisms.
Worried that the paper is not hygienic, it is better to pay attention to whether the direction is wrong: you must wipe your ass from the front to the back.
Sleep
17. The longer the nap, the better.
Sometimes the more you sleep in the nap, the more tired you become, usually because you sleep too long.
If you take a nap for more than one hour, you will easily lose your spirits for a period of time after waking up. Moreover, taking a nap for too long may also affect your sleep at night.
If you want to sleep, it will take about 20 minutes.
18. Drinking before going to bed will lead to poor sleep.
Although drinking before going to bed can make people drowsy, it will seriously affect sleep quality, become easy to wake up, appear dreaminess, headache and other phenomena, and even affect the performance of the next day.
To have a good sleep, try not to drink alcohol 6 hours before going to bed.
19. Snoring is not sleeping soundly, it may be illness.
Snoring (snoring) during sleep is a sign of poor breathing.
Intense and irregular snoring may indicate sleep breathing disorders, which not only make people easily sleepy and lose energy during the day, but also risk sudden death in severe cases and require treatment.
20. Pillows are not [pillows]
A person’s neck has a slightly forward radian and needs pillow support.
The most critical function of pillow is not pillow [head], but pillow neck! It is best to support the back of the head, the back of the neck and the back of the shoulder at the same time.
