Ms. Vi (over 30 years old, China) is a normal office worker, her daily job is to process documents and answer phone calls.The stable and regular work has brought her a relaxed life.
This day, as usual, she made a cup of green tea in the office cabinet and prepared to start the afternoon work.In the tea room, some colleagues gathered to talk about a recent health curriculum.A colleague suddenly mentioned the scary story: "Recently, there is a family of cancer recently because a person washing clothes improperly!".
This news made Miss Vi in confusion, for a long time could not calm down.At home, she always washing.Is some small habits that she has formed for many years can also endanger the health of the whole family?Her heart tightened and she decided to find out more.
Coincidentally, Miss Vi's husband would go to the hospital that night to visit an old friend in the hospital.After thinking, she decided to go with her husband, convenient to consult a doctor to see if there was a terrible relationship between washing clothes and cancer.
At the end of the visit, Ms. Vi went to the hospital's cancer department in the hope of finding the answer.Meeting a middle -aged doctor, Ms. Vi immediately told the doctor the stories she heard and her worries.
After listening, the doctor smiled, then seriously explained: "Miss Vi, the situation that she heard is actually very rare, but it reminds us that some habits seem to be insignificant inEveryday life can cause serious health consequences in the long run. ”
The doctor continued: “In the process of washing clothes, there are indeed some bad habits that can negatively affect human health.
First of allUse too many chemical detergents.On the market today, there are many chemical components added to washing powder, washing water or washing.If you use too much, the chemicals left on clothes can penetrate the body through contact with the skin, certainly not good for the body over time.
Monday,Use inappropriate water temperatureIt is also a problem.The hot water temperature will change some chemical components in detergents and produce harmful substances.
Final,Forgotten hygiene and maintenance of washing machineIt is also very harmful.If the washing machine is not hygienic properly, bacteria, and mold growth can also contaminate clothes.
In addition to the problem of conventional chemical residues, there is also an unusual aspect of being overlooked - the electrostatic phenomenon created by clothing during washing and drying.
Most people may not realize that electrostatic generated during washing and drying clothes can not only damage the cloth but also have a certain impact on the human body.
Especially in the dry winter, the creation of electrostatic will be more significant.And this electrostatic not only makes you feel uncomfortable, such as the feeling of electric shock 'puff' when the clothes are tight on people but in the long run, it can also hinder the function of the physiological balance of the muscle.our body.
The normal activity of our body is based on the transmission of electrical signals between cells.This weak current (physiological electricity) is the basis for the normal activity of the nervous system, heart and other important organs of our.
The sudden accumulation and release of electrostatic release can affect this balance that we do not realize, especially for patients with heart disease or those with more sensitive physiological function in the.The body, this effect can be more clear. "
To solve this problem, the doctor recommends that you can add some special antistatic soft fabrics during the daily washing process or choose natural yarn clothes, such as cotton and linen, materials, materialsThis is not only comfortable with skin but also less electrostatic.
In addition, you must be careful when using the washing machine.Do not stuff too many clothes.This can reduce friction between clothes and reduce electrostatic.
Of course, in addition to electrostatic, the softness and hardness of water when washing clothes are also very important.Hard water not only makes the detergent difficult to dissolve but also leaves mineral sediments on clothes.These mineral sediments can make clothes rough, long -term contact can also cause slight irritation to the skin.Using soft water to wash or add a suitable amount of water softeners can reduce this problem effectively.
