Troubled by Everyday Dilemmas: Debunking Common Health Myths

March 18, 2024

Have you ever been troubled by this? Before going to bed, you want to eat a fruit, but suddenly you remember someone saying that it's not good to eat fruits at night. You find yourself caught in a dilemma, wavering between eating or not eating. Suddenly, you think of eating something else and worry about whether it will clash with what you've already eaten. The list of questions goes on. Today, I will tell you about the things you are troubled about!
 


 

1. Should toothpaste be wet before brushing?

   Actually, it's fine whether it's wet or not, but you must have toothpaste. Generally, toothpaste that is wet is easier to foam, and abundant foam helps to clean the teeth.

2. Should honey be refrigerated?

   Some people like to refrigerate honey, thinking that it can prolong its shelf life. This practice is not correct because honey will crystallize and separate glucose at low temperatures. Although it does not affect its safety, it will affect the taste and quality.

3. Can fruits be eaten at night?

   There is a rumor that eating fruits in the morning is like gold, in the afternoon is like silver, and at night is like poison. It's all a lie because once you eat something, your digestive system starts working, and your digestion and absorption functions are not limited by the "routine time" we define.

   4. Can you eat bananas, milk, persimmons... on an empty stomach?
 


 

   No problem, just take a small bite, and you are no longer on an empty stomach. Eat with peace of mind.

5. Can cling film be heated?

   Cling film comes in different types. Some can only be used to package low-temperature or room-temperature food, while others have better performance and can withstand high temperatures of 140-180°C.

   To determine whether cling film can be heated, just check the temperature tolerance and applicable range on the packaging. By the way, the kind of "heating" on fire is definitely not possible.

6. Should you drink water in the morning after waking up?

   It is recommended to drink a glass of water. During the long night, the body loses a lot of water through sweating, breathing, and urination. Drinking about 200ml of water in the morning can quickly replenish water, which is good for you.
 


 

7. When taking a shower, should you scrub the body?

   It's up to you, just clean yourself. The mud that falls off when scrubbing during a shower is mainly dead skin flakes, dust, and sweat. It is good to scrub properly. However, if you clean excessively, such as scrubbing until your skin turns red, it may damage the skin's protective barrier, causing the skin to become sensitive, dry, and itchy.

8. Should raisins be washed before eating?

   Although you don't spit out the skin of raisins, whether to wash them before eating depends on the situation.

   If you buy them in bulk, wash them before eating. If you buy them in sealed packaging, you can eat them without washing.

   Friendly reminder: A good life requires management, and it is also necessary to learn some home health care methods, which can help you increase the joy of life.
