8 useful things in the home for those who care about health

Blackout curtains and a pillow - for a good sleep, an air purifier and humidifier - for the correct microclimate, a kitchen scale - for controlling the amount of food. It seems that all these things cannot have a positive effect on our health, but this is a fundamentally incorrect assumption.

We tell you what you need to purchase to reduce the risk of developing various diseases and increase your immunity.

Blackout curtains

Sound sleep is not only the key to excellent health, but also an important component of a healthy nervous system. People who never get enough sleep often experience low mood, stress, blues and even depression. In addition, the lack of quality rest is directly related to our health - the less we sleep, the more often we get sick.

But what do curtains have to do with it? Everything is very simple. During sleep, our brain reacts to any changes, including indicators, glare, and the light of lanterns. It is for this reason that experts advise turning off all equipment in the bedroom so that nothing prevents a person from sleeping soundly. There are several good reasons to buy blackout curtains for windows, which will completely block the flow of light into the room:

• darkness in the bedroom promotes the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, which has a positive psychological effect on a person’s mood, while its deficiency leads to anxiety, fatigue and hostility;
• any light glare from the street will not wake you up in the middle of the night or, conversely, interfere with falling asleep;
• It will be much easier to fall asleep during the day in a darker room.

Air purifier

This device is ideal for people who live in areas with poor environmental conditions or suffer from an allergic reaction to dust or pollen. The purifier does an excellent job of trapping microparticles from the air that pose a serious threat to the human body.

Orthopedic mattress and pillow

These accessories also directly affect the quality of your sleep. Moreover, sometimes a strange situation arises: a person pays more attention to the choice of the bed itself, rather than the mattress or pillow. But this is also wrong. Properly selected accessories help you get a good night's sleep, reduce the load on the spine and cervical region, distributing it evenly.

Humidifier

This device is especially necessary during the heating season or when you use climate control systems. Dry air negatively affects the skin, mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and throat. The result is frequent colds.

When choosing a humidifier, it is extremely important to pay attention to its capacity - it must be suitable for the area where you plan to use it.

Electronic kitchen scales

This device, surprisingly, will be useful not only for those losing weight, but also for those who monitor their health.Thanks to the scales, you can control calories, estimate the volume of liquid, and measure the weight of ingredients for a specific dish.

Steam cleaner

Thanks to the device, you can say goodbye forever to household chemicals, which, as you know, are often made on the basis of aggressive components that can cause various diseases from allergies to oncology. In addition, the use of steam in some cases is even much more effective in terms of removing difficult stains and greasy deposits.

The device is designed for very thorough treatment and disinfection of any surfaces. It solves just a lot of problems:

• removal of dust and dirt, including hard-to-reach places - narrow cracks, radiators;
• cleaning and ironing of linen;
• polishing glass and mirrors;
• combating unpleasant odors;
• washing tiles and tile joints;
• disinfection of plumbing fixtures, stoves, hoods, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators and other household appliances;
• removal of mold, mildew, parasites.

Carbon dioxide detector

The device helps to assess the CO₂ concentration in the room and the quality of ventilation. It will be especially useful in the room where family members spend a lot of time.

The analyzer has three scales:

• green - everything is normal;
• yellow - ventilation required;
• red—gas level is hazardous to health.

Toilet stand

This may seem very strange, but this subject is very important for those who care about their health.

It has long been proven that the position that a person often takes while sitting on the toilet directly affects the process of defecation, and not in the best way - you position the intestines at the wrong angle, from a physiological point of view, which helps to immobilize the puborectal muscles, which are directly involved in progress. An unhealthy anorectal angle increases intestinal and intra-abdominal pressure (danger of developing hernias!), and becomes a risk factor for the appearance of many pathologies: from constipation and hemorrhoids to irritable bowel syndrome.

The use of a special support promotes the correct position of the intestines and reduces pressure on important organs.
