Winter self-care guide: These 5 things are more harmful to the body than staying up late

In winter, wrapped in a blanket, I brush my phone until dawn, and on the second day, I confess with dark circles under my eyes, 'I won't stay up late anymore'? Don't rush to set a flag yet, you may be repeating more harmful actions than staying up late every day. Those health assassins hidden in the details of life are quietly depleting your immunity, and some behaviors can even make staying up late look like a child.

1. Use heating as a sauna

1. High temperature baking heating

When the indoor temperature exceeds 24 ℃, the air humidity decreases by about 5% for every 1 ℃ increase. Staying in a hot and humid environment for a long time, the nasal mucosa becomes like a dried sponge, and the probability of the virus breaking through the defense line doubles directly. Suggest placing a basin of water next to the radiator and setting the humidifier to 50% humidity level.

2. Closed doors and windows without ventilation

The ventilation rate of residential buildings in winter is only in summer One third of the season, excessive carbon dioxide concentration can make people feel groggy. Opening windows for 10 minutes at 10am and 3pm every day creates diagonal air convection, which is more efficient than simply opening large windows.

2. Replace hot water with milk tea

1. High sugar trap

A certain brand of hot drink, caramel milk tea, has a sugar content equivalent to 14 yuan of cube sugar. The moment you drink it, your blood sugar will ride a roller coaster, and frequent insulin overtime will result in a 30% increase in fat storage efficiency.

2. False Warmth

The fever illusion caused by caffeine can only last for 20 minutes, after which blood vessels contract and become more sensitive to cold. Homemade cinnamon apple tea can warm the body without disrupting the metabolic rhythm, and the hot water stirred with a cinnamon stick can be brewed three times.

III. Mistakes made while taking a shower Misfortune

1. High water temperature

Hot water above 42 ℃ can dissolve protective oils on the surface of the skin, which is often the cause of winter prurigo. Testing the water temperature with the elbow is more accurate than with the palm, and the safe temperature is when the skin does not turn red.

2. Excessive shower gel

Weak acidic shower products with a pH value of 5.5 should not exceed 10ml per day. Non critical areas such as the back should be rinsed with clean water. The best effect is to apply lotion within 3 minutes after bathing.

4. Retaliative Bedtime

1. Weekend Sleep Paradox

Sleeping 2 hours more than usual can disrupt the biological clock, and the pain level of waking up on Monday increases by 45%. Setting a floating alarm clock is smarter, delaying it by no more than 1.5 hours compared to weekdays.

2. Bedding hypoxia

When sleeping under a hood, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blanket can reach 5%, which is equivalent to sleeping on a plateau at an altitude of 3000 meters. Choose a down comforter with a fluffiness of 800+to keep warm and not stuffy.

V. Insufficient emotional warmth

1. Sunshine debt

The incidence rate of winter depression increased by 27%, which is directly related to insufficient vitamin D. Sunbathing for 20 minutes on a sunny day at noon is equivalent to supplementing 2000IU of vitamin D.

2. Social hibernation

Long term solitude can increase stress hormone levels, requiring at least 3 face-to-face conversations per week. Participating in handicraft activities such as baking classes not only creates social opportunities but also provides a sense of achievement. The scariest thing about these invisible health killers is that they are all cloaked in a 'comfortable' cloak. Starting from today, turn down the heating by two degrees and replace the third cup of milk tea with red date tea. You will find that you can also keep warm in winter without overdrawing your body. The moment when the fingers no longer dry and peel, and wake up naturally in the morning, is truly understanding the tenderness of the season.
