1. Boiling water overnight and "thousand boiling water" can be drunk as long as it is clean. Even if the water is boiled many times, the nitrite content is far less than that of kimchi, it will not be poisoned, and it will not cause cancer.
2. Overnight tea can also be drunk. Overnight tea discoloration is because the tea polyphenols are oxidized, the taste is worse, and it will not cause cancer.
3. Overnight dishes can also be eaten, provided that the refrigerator is placed. The meat and vegetables at room temperature are fine overnight, and the next meal is hot, but the nitrite of leafy vegetables will increase significantly, and it is best to eat them within 6 hours. (View Details)
4. Overnight foam fungus, white fungus, mushrooms are really dangerous, at room temperature will produce rice yeast acid toxin, will make people coma or even death, cooked can not be extinguished. So it is best not to exceed 4 hours of foam dry goods!
5. Don't rush to put the refrigerator in the refrigerator immediately for hot meals, which may affect the cooling effect, but it does not need to be completely cooled. You can first cover and cool for a while, creating a negative pressure to reduce the entry of bacteria, and then put it in the refrigerator.
6. Tomatoes in the refrigerator will not "become poisonous", but the flavor will become lighter; onions, bananas, honey are not suitable for the refrigerator. Soy sauce is easy to oxidize at room temperature, but it is more suitable for placing in the refrigerator.
7. Bananas will not go extinct in 2050, it is just that production may decrease. Black-spotted bananas are normally oxidized, and the flesh can be eaten without turning black.
8. Ethylene ripening bananas and out-of-season fruits will not lead to premature ripening, and propolis and royal jelly will not lead to premature ripening. What really makes children precocious is obesity caused by overnutrition!
9. Ripe persimmons can be eaten on an empty stomach or with eggs and seafood. Less ripe persimmons have the above contraindications, because they contain a lot of tannic acid, which may react with proteins to produce stomach stones.
10. The nutritional value of red-skinned eggs and white-skinned eggs is almost no different. The color of the eggshell is mainly determined by the breed of hens, and you don't need to look at the "appearance" to buy eggs, don't be fooled by "high-tech and nutritious" eggs.
Body care
11. Nail long barbs are not due to lack of vitamins, but because of dryness or finger labor friction, such as washing clothes, typing, etc., do a good job of moisturizing, timely use nail clippers to cut off.
12. Mouth ulcers may be related to the lack of vitamins, but people who often eat vegetables and fruits have little effect on vitamin supplementation. Swap your toothbrush for a soft tip and use a patch of mouth ulcers to avoid exacerbating inflammation.
13. The relationship between bad breath and Helicobacter pylori is not clear. 80 to 90% of bad breath is caused by oral problems (such as plaque), and electric toothbrushes cannot remove dental calculus, so regular teeth cleaning every year is the most effective.
14. Dark circles are mainly related to heredity, which will be aggravated after staying up late, but sleep can only alleviate and cannot be eliminated. Eye cream may have an effect on some dark circles, but to completely eliminate it, only medical aesthetics can be used.
15. You can eat high-protein foods such as beef and seafood. The so-called definition of "hair" is not scientific. What you should really avoid is a diet that is high in fat, sugar, and dairy.
16. Blackhead stickers do not remove blackheads, but are easy to damage the tissues around the hair follicle sebaceous glands, making blackheads more obvious. If you want to get rid of blackheads, the use of acid topical drugs, lasers and other means has a good effect, but it should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
17. Silicone-free shampoos are not necessarily the best. The so-called "silicone oil" is a softener, high safety, harmless to the scalp, hair. Neutral, dry hair can be shampooed with silicone oil, and oily hair can be used without silicone oil.
18. Nail crescents are not necessarily related to health status and anemia. If you want to judge whether it is anemia, you can see whether the nail color is pale, whether there is fatigue, panic, dizziness, memory decline and other manifestations.
19. Wearing glasses does not cause "bulging eyes". The bulge of the eyes is due to the lack of control of myopia and the rise in degrees. If you do not want your eyes to become bulging, you can use low-concentration atropine eye drops and orthokeratology lenses under the guidance of a doctor.
20. Exercise is not the more sweating the better, the key is still to look at the heart rate. The maximum heart rate of the average person = 220 - age, in a certain range, the faster the heart rate, the greater the exercise intensity, the higher the oxygen consumption.
Disease prevention and control
21. When a sudden myocardial infarction occurs, coughing and patting the arm cannot save itself, but may delay the first aid time and die.
22. True myopia is incurable and can only be corrected by optometry methods such as glasses or myopia laser surgery. All kinds of folk circulation of "acupuncture", "eye mask", "green video", "myopia tea" to reduce the degree of myopia, are all deceptive.
23. Plastic is not the culprit of leukemia and cancer. As long as food-grade plastic boxes and plastic bags are used to hold food, it is safe.

25. Garlic is not cancer resistant. Although garlic has an active ingredient, the clinical evidence of anti-cancer effects is not sufficient. In addition, the active ingredients in garlic may also lose their effectiveness over time, processing, and processing.
26. Diabetics can eat fruit, but the daily intake should be controlled between 100-200 grams, and it is best to choose fruits with less sugar content and slow sugar rise, such as pomegranates, cherries, kiwis, strawberries, etc.
27. Patients with gout can eat tofu. Although soybeans are high in purine content, after making tofu, a part of the purine will be removed, and if it is not during the acute attack of gout, it can be eaten in moderation.
28. Kidney stone patients can also eat tofu. High-calcium foods such as tofu and milk can combine with oxalic acid in the digestive tract, which reduces the risk of kidney stones produced by the combination of urinary calcium and oxalic acid.
29. To prevent colds, vitamin C supplementation and drinking plate blue root are useless. It is better to wash your hands more and reduce exposure to the virus; stay up late less to ensure adequate sleep.
30. Measure blood glucose Do not collect blood on the fingertips, choose both sides of the fingers. Because the pain receptors on both sides of the finger are less distributed, it will not hurt so much when the blood is collected.
Women's health
31. The safety of HPV vaccine has been verified for many years, which will not lead to a decline in female reproductive function, let alone induce cervical cancer. The so-called "serious adverse reactions" are conspiracy theories of anti-vaccine groups.
32. Simple HPV infection and pelvic effusion do not need to be treated. "Cervical erosion" is not even a disease, let alone a cure.
33. The dark color of women's nipples and private parts is a manifestation of high sex hormone levels, which is related to age, developmental maturity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and sexual experience.
34. Uterine fibroids are not "no baby tumors", but related to estrogen and family genetics. The high number of births only makes estrogen low for a long time during pregnancy and lactation, but it is not an absolute factor.
35. The appearance of flesh-like blood clots during menstruation is not the so-called "palace cold". When menstruation is large, it is normal for anticoagulants to not be produced fast enough, and there are coagulated blood clots, or fragments of the endometrium that may fall off.
36. Fat women do not necessarily have good children, obesity is even related to some infertility diseases. A large ass is not necessarily easier to have a smooth birth, but is related to many factors such as the pelvis, and being too fat will also increase the risk of dystocia.
37. "Today's crowds, tomorrow's work" are all lies. The flow of people is a major injury to the body and takes at least 2 weeks to recover. The "painless abortion" is only to reduce the pain during the operation, and it will still hurt after the operation.
38. Vitamin E milk in Peking Union Medical College Hospital is not called "Concord Brand". Although vitamin E milk has a certain moisturizing and hydrating effect, it does not have the miracle effect of removing spots and repairing scars, and it is not suitable for everyone.

40. Anti-glycation products are unreliable, and healthy young people do not need anti-sugar.
Men's health

42. Ginger, black sesame seeds, massage, anti-hair shampoo can not cure hair loss. Most of the male hair loss is caused by heredity and high androgens, which will not lead to a decline in sexual performance, and anti-hair loss drugs will not make men become "mothers".
43. Regular shaving doesn't make the beard grow faster, thicker, and harder. The color, texture, and growth rate of the beard are only related to genetic and hormone levels, and are not affected by shaving.

48. Drinking a small amount of alcohol every day is not a good habit, and drinking can hurt the body. The safest way is not to dip a drop of wine.
49. "Nicotine anti-cancer" is an outright rumor. The nicotine in e-cigarettes is equally addictive, no healthier than cigarettes, and there is no evidence that it can help smokers quit smoking, but it makes young consumers want to smoke cigarettes more when they become adults.
50. It is true that some people who exercise regularly and do not smoke have lung cancer. But smoking accounts for more than 80 percent of male lung cancer patients, and tobacco remains the number one risk factor for lung cancer.
