Women, is your fashion also a health threat?
On the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, we bring to your attention some fashion trend that may only be your hidden health threats.
Yes women, this is true. Your fashion may lead you to suffer from small ailments to big painful diseases.
• Wearing high heeled shoes on a daily basis is an orthopaedic disaster as it can lead to joint fractures, backaches, sprained ankles and torn foot muscles. To avoid these problems, ensure that you do have some high-heeled free days during your week. Flat, low lying shoes are not only comfortable but they can also be fashionable.
• Pregnant women should avoid wearing high heeled shoes as these pose a risk of injury, swollen feet and pressure in knees and joints. Wear flat, or low, wide heels with good arch support which will be more comfortable and healthy for you and your baby.
Your clothing
• Wearing of tight fitting clothing on a daily basis can lead to skin infections. This is because sweat gets accumulated more in various body folds and is difficult to evaporate. Tight fitting clothing can also restrict blood circulation.
Your toiletries
• Varieties of soaps and face washes are available in the shops. Choose those that are neutral or with a ph range of 5-6 since those with bigger ph are harsher on the skin and even removes the protective layer of the skin causing dryness.
• Continuous use of hair dyes and bleaches are damaging to the hair. They irritate your scalp and cause skin eruptions. Limit use of these products or go for natural henna.
Body piercing & tattooing
• The majority of health risks associated with body piercing and tattooing are related to infectious complications and localized skin reactions. The potential for blood borne diseases is also present. Medical complications include swelling, bleeding, nerve damage, loss of sensation and bacterial infections. Use of unsterilised equipment may result in infections such as Hepatitis B and C and HIV. To enjoy your body piercing and tattooing, ensure that professional, hygienic practices are being used.
Your diet
• Being slim and looking good is very important for many women. But when loosing weight, it is important to do so healthily. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about any major changes you intend to make about your diet. Remember exercising is also important for good health.
