In autumn and winter, we recommend you wear 3 types of clothes and stop wearing 5 types of clothes

We wear clothes every day, but did you know that there are some things to pay attention to when wearing clothes?

Some clothes should be added in time, but some clothes should not be worn anymore. Not only will they hurt the body, they may also take the child's life!

01

In autumn and winter, these 3 types of clothing should be added in time

1. The importance of long johns

The primary reason for wearing long underwear is to keep warm. Our knee joints prefer warmth and fear cold. Although medical research shows that there is no direct causal relationship between cold and the onset of osteoarthritis, it may aggravate existing osteoarthritis symptoms and affect the treatment effect.

That is to say, if you don't have osteoarthritis, the cold won't directly make you sick, but if you already have osteoarthritis, the cold will make the symptoms of the already sick person worse. For the general population, frequent colds will also have adverse effects on blood vessels, muscle tissue, etc. , so it is still important to wear long underwear in time to keep warm.

In addition, the elderly, people who sit for long periods of time or have poor peripheral circulation (such as women and diabetics) are more likely to feel cold legs and need to wear thermal underwear in advance compared to ordinary people.

suggestion:

When choosing long johns, pure cotton long johns are the first choice . Because pure cotton long johns have good sweat absorption, breathability, high comfort, wearing pure cotton long johns will not be too wet after sweating, which will reduce comfort or cause skin problems.

2. The importance of hats and scarves

● Head: When the temperature is around 4℃, about 1/2 of the body's heat is dissipated from the head, and when the temperature is around -10℃, about 3/4 of the body's heat is dissipated from the head.

● Neck: If the neck gets cold, cervical spondylosis and pharyngitis will follow.

suggestion:

In autumn and winter, it is best to wear a hat and scarf when going out. In addition to keeping warm, it can also block the wind. However, it should be noted that it should not be tied too tightly.

If it is tied too tightly, it may irritate the carotid sinus and cause carotid sinus syndrome, leading to a decrease in heart rate and insufficient blood supply to the brain, which in turn causes symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and black eyes. People with poor physical fitness may even faint.

3. The importance of long socks

Many people, especially young people, like to wear short socks or boat socks in autumn and winter to look good, so that their ankles can be exposed. However, the foot is the "second heart" of the human body, and the ankle is an important gateway for blood circulation in the foot, and it is difficult to resist the cold.

Once the cold invades from here, the blood vessels will contract and the blood vessel pressure will increase, which will cause the blood pressure to rise. If you already have high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, etc., it may cause more serious consequences.

In addition, the ankles are also home to important tissues such as lymphatic vessels and nerves, which are also very fragile. If you suffer from arthritis, dysmenorrhea, etc., exposing your ankles and catching cold may aggravate your condition.

suggestion:

When going out in autumn and winter, you must keep your feet warm. It is best to wear a pair of longer and slightly thicker socks. If you are particularly afraid of cold, it is also necessary to wear a pair of warm cotton shoes. After coming back from going out, you can soak your feet in hot water to drive away the cold.

These 4 types of clothes are not recommended for you to wear

1. Tight jeans – dangerous

Many people like to wear tight jeans, thinking that they can show their figure better. However, if they are too tight, the harm they cause cannot be underestimated.

● Nerve damage

Too tight jeans will not only make people feel extremely oppressive, but also reduce the blood supply to the leg muscles, causing calf swelling and nerve damage. If you squat for too long, the thigh and groin area will cause numbness and tingling. If you do this for a long time, it is easy to damage the nerves.

● Indigestion

Clothes that are too tight around the waist will cause increased pressure on the internal organs, leading to acid reflux and heartburn after food is swallowed. Over time, problems with the digestive system will also occur.

● Private part infection

Women: Wearing tight jeans for a long time may cause urethritis, cystitis, vaginitis. If the symptoms recur, there is also the risk of gynecological diseases such as cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Men: Wearing tight jeans for a long time may cause inflammation of the reproductive tract, affect blood circulation, lead to penis curvature, reduce sperm motility, and even infertility.

suggestion:

When buying jeans, choose slightly larger, breathable, and made of cotton. When wearing them, they should not be too tight whether you are squatting or raising your knees.

2. One-piece body-shaping garments - beware of diseases caused by "wrapping"

Many women like to wear body shaping garments, thinking that they can make them thinner and show off their figure. However, the thick and strong fibers tightly bind the upper abdomen, waist, lower abdomen, buttocks and legs from top to bottom, which is quite harmful and makes people feel suffocated just by looking at them.

● Cause gynecological diseases

Shaping pants will cause vulvar secretions to accumulate in a humid environment and be unable to dissipate, irritating the vulva and causing vulvar inflammation.

● Affects skin respiration

Body shaping underwear fits tightly to the body, preventing the skin from breathing normally. Especially after sweating, the sweat cannot evaporate in time, which can easily cause blockage of pores, redness and swelling of local skin, causing folliculitis, and easily lead to rough skin.

● Produce hypoxic reaction

An ill-fitting bra binder will affect a person's breathing. The chest cannot fully expand, and the lung tissue cannot fully stretch due to microcirculation disorders. The amount of inhaled air is reduced, thereby hindering the body's oxygen supply, which can easily cause cerebral hypoxia and symptoms such as dizziness and numbness in the head.

suggestion:

Shapewear should be worn as little as possible, for a maximum of 3 to 5 hours a day. It must be comfortable, breathable, elastic, and the sensitive parts must be made of pure cotton. Women should not wear shapewear during menstruation to avoid aggravating dysmenorrhea.

3. Wearing the wrong underwear will cause harm to your whole body

● Muscle compression

If the underwear is tight, it will put pressure on the chest muscles, causing symptoms such as numbness, pain, and fatigue in the arms; if the side straps and shoulder straps of the underwear are too tight, it will also compress the vertebral blood vessels and nerves, causing symptoms such as dizziness and nausea.

● Affects blood circulation

Tight and narrow underwear will affect the blood circulation in and around the breasts, easily causing toxic and harmful substances to remain in the breast tissue, affecting its normal function and even increasing the risk of diseases such as breast cancer.

suggestion:

When buying underwear, don't rely on your own feelings. It is best to ask the salesperson to help you measure it. Also, choose natural and soft materials such as cotton, silk, etc., which should be comfortable and breathable, and light colors are preferred.

4. Slimming socks - can easily cause hidden dangers

Although the slimming socks currently sold on the market are based on the same principle as varicose vein socks, they often pose health risks to users due to different motivations for use.

● Vascular disease

Wearing slimming socks for a long time will cause long-term compression of the blood vessels in the lower limbs, decline in vascular function, and the occurrence of varicose veins, phlebitis, vasculitis and even chronic leg ulcers and other peripheral vascular diseases in the lower limbs.

● Skin allergies

Since slimming socks often contain spandex, they are not very breathable and may cause skin allergies. People who are prone to allergies should be especially careful.

suggestion:

For your own health, it is best not to wear shaping stockings often. If you really want to wear stockings, you can choose stockings that suit your leg shape and have good elasticity to reduce health threats.

What suits you is the best. Don’t deliberately wear uncomfortable clothes in pursuit of beauty, which will threaten your health.

The invisible "killer" in children's clothes

Many parents choose such clothes as their children's regular coats, believing that hoods with drawstrings are not easily blown off by the wind and are very practical.

In fact, if children's and infants' clothing has drawstrings, and the drawstrings are too long, or easily form noose, loops, etc., once they are entangled or clamped by protrusions or gaps on furniture, elevators, vehicles or slides and other amusement facilities, there is a great possibility of suffocation or even death of children.

This is because the tension when the hat rope is tightened is equivalent to 5 to 6 times the child's weight, and this force will cause spinal cord injury at the time, and then lead to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. This injury often lasts for a long time, enough to cause brain hypoxia and even brain death.

Because it is too dangerous, China issued the "Technical Specification for Safety of Infant and Children's Textile Products (GB 31701-2015)" in 2015, which stipulates that clothing for infants and children under 7 years old should not have any straps on the head and neck.
