More lung damaging than smoking: if you change the habit of cooking earlier, your lungs may feel better

It is known that the lung is an organ responsible for gas exchange, and also helps the body generate blood, so that the body's blood and nutrients are kept adequate. The lung quality and human health have a great relationship. Because modern people usually neglect to maintain the lung, long-term inhalation of harmful substances lead to lung damage, so that the incidence of lung disease greatly increased.

To talk about what is harmful to dirty inhalation, you think about cigarettes in your first reaction. Because cigarettes contain a large number of harmful substances, when burning, these harmful substances will enter the air, and will cause stimulation and damage to the lungs after being inhaled.

In fact, there is another habit that hurts the lungs more easily than smoking, that is, the range hood is not used correctly when cooking.

First, you should know that the kitchen fume contains more than 300 kinds of harmful substances, such as dinitrophenol, benzopyrene and aldehydes. When people fry vegetables in the kitchen, if they don't turn on the range hood in time and smoke out the harmful gases in the air, people will suffer serious damage to the lungs after a large amount of inhalation of these harmful substances.

Secondly, kitchen oil smoke is the source of PM2.5, especially when stir-frying onion, ginger, garlic, deep-frying or fried scrambled eggs, PM2.5 will increase greatly in air concentration, which leads to air pollution to different degrees. These PM2.5 are inhaled into the lungs and can damage the health of the lungs and increase the risk of inflammation or cancer.

The following 2 habits should be developed when using the range hood.

1. Turn on the range hood in advance

Everyone in the first step of cooking, that is, when pouring oil, should be the range hood on, so that the smoke can be timely discharged, reduce the amount of people inhale the smoke. When cooking, don't wait until a lot of smoke has been emitted in the pan before putting in the ingredients, so as to avoid excessive harmful gas, and cause irritation and damage to the respiratory system after inhalation.

2. Turn off the range hood after 5 or 10 minutes of stir-frying

Many people immediately turn off the range hood after cooking. This behavior is not correct. Because the range hood is turned off immediately, the smoke in the kitchen is still in a large amount of detention, and people will inhale a large amount of harmful gas in the kitchen, causing damage to the body. The right way to do this is to keep the range hood unit working for 5 to 10 minutes before it can be turned off, which will improve the air in the kitchen.

In addition to the correct use of the range hood, we should try to choose the regular manufacturers to produce better quality, exhaust function is stronger range hood, so that can help people to exhaust the harmful gas in the kitchen in a short time, avoid people excessive inhalation of harmful substances to cause more damage to the lungs.

To keep the lungs healthy, people can also enhance their vital capacity by doing more aerobic exercise. Usually, eating more white radish, snow pear, tremella, water chestnut and other foods can play the role of clearing lung heat, expelling lung toxin, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and pay attention to the light diet and balanced operation and maintenance, and do not often eat too spicy and stimulating food.

If you find that you have cough, chest tightness, asthma, physical weakness and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital to do CT and other examinations in time, after the clear etiology, under the guidance of the doctor to treat the disease, so as to improve the condition as soon as possible.
