What dietary taboos are not credible?

1, the false folk prescription of word of mouth

1 high-calorie alcohol cooling-not suitable for children

Fever in infants is more common. Many parents don't give their children antipyretics because of the saying that "medicine is toxic in three parts", but choose the physical cooling method of rubbing the body with alcohol. However, physical cooling is not suitable for all patients with fever, and there are hidden dangers in wiping children with alcohol.

Xu Changsheng, deputy chief physician of emergency medicine department of Zhong Da Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said that adults over 16 years old can use alcohol for physical cooling, while children under 16 years old are prone to sudden drop of body temperature and shock. When the body is hot, alcohol will be absorbed quickly, which is easy to cause alcoholism.

The correct way: children with low fever below 38℃ can take a bath with warm water, and scrubbing their limbs, neck, armpits and groin is conducive to cooling down. You can also use a forehead patch or a cold towel to cool down, drink more warm water, and don't "sweat" when the high fever persists. Adults can use diluted alcohol to cool down. The ethanol concentration of medical alcohol is 75%, which needs to be diluted to 25%-50% when it is used to wipe the body with high heat, which is roughly equivalent to one portion of medical alcohol plus the same amount of water; When pouring water, the water temperature is slightly higher than the body temperature, and the principle of testing water with the inside of the wrist is not hot; It is best to choose a small piece of cotton gauze when wiping, which has good water absorption and moderate friction. Wet it with alcohol, twist it until it is half dry, and then wipe your body.

Burn with toothpaste and soy sauce-nonsense.

There are many folk methods for scalding, such as toothpaste, soy sauce, vegetable oil, essential balm and so on, but these are unscientific!

Wang Leyan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Burn Plastic Surgery, Zhong Da Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said that the current popular measures such as smearing soy sauce, vinegar and toothpaste may cause bacterial infection in wounds and aggravate the depth of burns. Some parents immediately take off their baby's clothes and "tear off" the baby's tender skin after the child is burned. This first-aid measure will only aggravate the condition. In addition, applying some powder similar to folk remedies, especially colored powder, not only has the risk of infection, but also is not conducive to doctors to observe the affected area, and it is more difficult to clean the wound in the future.

The correct way: commonly known as "one flush, two drops, three bubbles, four covers and five deliveries": first, "flush" and rinse with running water; Secondly, "take off", carefully cut the clothes in the water, otherwise the heat on the clothes can't be distributed and continue to act on the wound, which will deepen the wound; Followed by "soaking": soaking in cold water for at least 30 minutes; Then "cover": cover the hot place with a clean towel; Finally "send": send it to the hospital as soon as possible.

3 Coma pinch-useless.

In many TV dramas, a person fainted because of anger. Some people habitually pinch people, and those who fall will soon wake up slowly. Is that really the case?

In fact, pinching people can't play the role of first aid, but pinching them incorrectly will harm people. Xu Changsheng explained that pinching people only plays the role of pain stimulation, which has judgment value for patients' consciousness and no therapeutic value. Many people often make fatal mistakes once they pinch the wrong person. Some people pinch with their nails, causing skin damage, only paying attention to the effect of pinching people, ignoring the most core rescue measures, thus delaying treatment.

Correct way: When the public encounters a sudden coma patient, the correct way is to find someone lying in a coma, and after confirming the safety of the environment, pat him on the shoulder and shout at the patient. If there is no response, observe the breathing (whether the chest fluctuates). If breathing is normal, give him a stable lateral position, watch his breathing closely and wait for the ambulance. If there is no response or breathing, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation or simple chest compressions until the emergency personnel arrive. Remember, don't delay calling 120, so as not to miss the rescue opportunity.

4 nosebleeds, raise your head and raise your hand-there is no need.

I seem to have had such an experience when I was a child, and my nose always bleeds inexplicably. At this time, my parents always say, don't move too fast and hold your head up, even though I feel a nosebleed in my throat.

Xu Changsheng said that nosebleeds can not only stop bleeding, but also cause discomfort. Because looking up will make the blood that has flowed out of the nasal cavity flow back to the throat due to posture and gravity, there is no real hemostasis. Not only that, the blood in the throat will be swallowed into the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa to feel uncomfortable or vomit. In addition, when the amount of bleeding is large, it is easy to inhale and choke into the trachea and lungs, blocking the respiratory airflow and causing danger. As for raising your hand, your arm and nose are not on the same blood vessel, but it is not necessary.

The correct way: when nosebleeds, you should sit down immediately, head forward, and then apply a cold towel to your head or neck. You can also put a cotton ball in your nostrils and pinch your nose.

5 cold smoked vinegar-not good for your health.

In the season of high incidence of viral colds, many people will smoke vinegar in their rooms to prevent colds. Acetic acid does have a certain bactericidal effect, but it needs a higher concentration than vinegar. Even white vinegar with the highest acetic acid content in vinegar can't kill indoor bacteria. Moreover, in addition to bacteria, there are also virus infections. Vinegar can't destroy the virus structure.

Improper fumigation of vinegar is harmful to health. Xu Changsheng said that smoked vinegar can stimulate human respiratory tract, leading to increased secretion of respiratory epithelium, especially in some patients with chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma, which may lead to aggravation of the disease.

The correct way: pay attention to indoor ventilation at home and pay attention to cold and warmth. Xu Changsheng introduced that eating more foods rich in vitamin C in daily diet has a good effect on preventing colds.

6 sprained ankle hot compress-the more it is applied, the more swollen it is.

After an ankle sprain, many people regard it as a "piece of cake" and continue their daily life or exercise the next day; There are also some people who sprain their ankles for the first time and then apply hot compress and rub the sore place with activated oil, and finally they can't walk because of the pain.

In fact, it is not appropriate to treat a sprained foot in this way, because local small blood vessels rupture and bleeding together with oozing tissue fluid will form a hematoma, which generally takes about 24 hours to stop bleeding and oozing blood. If you rub, compress, burn and force yourself to move immediately after the injury, you will accelerate bleeding and exudation while rubbing some congestion, and even aggravate the rupture of blood vessels, resulting in a larger hematoma.

Correct way: Ice should be applied in time after sprain to reduce local body temperature, contract subcutaneous blood vessels, reduce vascular permeability, and achieve the effects of reducing metabolism, stopping bleeding and reducing swelling. Xu Changsheng introduced that when the sprain has passed the acute injury period (24-48 hours), hot compress can be used to relieve pain, increase local blood circulation and accelerate the metabolic rate of the injured part. In severe cases, MRI examination (magnetic resonance imaging) or even surgery is needed. The purpose of this treatment is to repair the injured ankle ligament and avoid frequent sprains caused by ligament relaxation in the future.

7 heart attack, severe cough-suicide

There is a "magic" self-help method for heart disease in WeChat. "Don't panic! Keep coughing, cough hard! Every two seconds or so, take a breath and cough until the ambulance arrives or feels normal. " But is it really effective?

Xu Changsheng said that when angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, severe cough is harmful, which will further aggravate myocardial oxygen consumption and worsen the condition.

The correct way: once a heart attack occurs, be sure to let the patient lie flat immediately, reduce exercise and avoid increasing the burden on the heart. Be sure to call 120 as soon as possible to clarify the address, patient status and other information. In addition, it is best to give patients aspirin or nitroglycerin as soon as possible during the first aid.

8 diarrhea eating garlic-looking for sin

Do not eat some irritating food during acute diarrhea, including garlic, especially raw garlic.

Eating garlic can indeed sterilize and prevent diarrhea to a certain extent, but it should be eaten when you are not sick. On the contrary, when you are already in a state of diarrhea, if you eat spicy food such as garlic again, it may aggravate the stimulation to the intestinal wall, thus aggravating diarrhea.

If you want to use garlic, it is better to try the method recommended by Dr. Koro Yunfeng in the Second People's Hospital of Fujian Province: in life, acute diarrhea often occurs due to cold and eating discomfort, and stool flows downwards like running water. There is a trick: use a bag of tea, boil water at one end of garlic and drink it in one breath, and diarrhea will soon be cured. Special reminder: if you are dehydrated, you should go to the hospital in time to prevent shock.

9 beauty service pearl powder-body cold is not suitable.

The beauty effect of pearl powder has been circulating for a long time. It is said that Cixi eats pearl powder every ten days, which can make her skin smooth and shiny.

Professor Li Bin from the Department of Dermatology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine pointed out that pearl powder belongs to cold medicine, and only people with hot and dry constitution are suitable for oral administration of pearl powder. In daily life, many women are of cold constitution. If they take pearl powder for a long time, it may cause symptoms such as indigestion, diarrhea, cold limbs and sallow complexion. In addition, patients with cold constitution, stomach cold and lithiasis are not suitable for taking pearl powder. Therefore, before taking pearl powder, you must first seek medical advice to determine whether it can be taken orally.

In addition, pearls must be processed and ground into very fine powder like flour, otherwise it may cause harm to internal organs, especially the spleen and stomach.

2. Incredible dietary taboos

1, pregnant women should not eat rabbit meat: otherwise the child born will have rabbit lips.

2, avoid eating crabs: the children born in this way will not lick the foam and drool, saying that eating crabs makes the fetus dystocia. In fact, it is right for pregnant women not to eat crabs, but the reason is that crabs are cold and have the effect of promoting blood circulation. Pregnant mothers are in danger of miscarriage, so they fast.

3, avoid eating cocks: the children born in this way will not cry at night.

4, do not eat ducks: think that eating ducks, children should shake their heads and be sick.

5, can not eat donkey meat: otherwise, in the future, children will be "donkey-like" and disobedient.

6, do not eat ginger: in case the baby has six fingers. Pregnant women should not eat ginger because it is irritating, not because the baby left after eating ginger has six fingers.

7. Don't eat dog meat: Otherwise, children will love to bite people in the future, and they will also love to bite nipples when they are breastfeeding.
