我們都會試著去做我們認為有益身體健康和避免生病的事情。但是你知道有些我們常常做的事，其實並不如我們所想像的那麼有益嗎？過度使用乾洗手是個典型的例子。當然它的殺菌率高達99%，但最強的菌種卻仍存活。那殘存的1%很快就能以倍數成長，且成為藥物無法控制的感染。如同使用太多消毒劑清掃居家環境。那麼夾腳拖呢？不是比尖頭鞋和高跟鞋還要好嗎？如果無法為足弓提供充足的支撐，還讓你暴露於地面的皮膚感染物，並沒有更好。每餐飯後刷牙似乎是您保持微笑的正確方式，但是也同時也磨損了牙齒外層的琺瑯質。把刷牙留給早上和晚上，那時口中的酸性較弱。
對話範例：
(日常習慣) Clarice和Eric是同事。Clarice看到Eric從廁所走出來而且和他講話。一起來聽聽看他們的對話吧。
Clarice：欸，Eric。你臉上有東西。
Eric：喔！那只是牙膏。
Clarice：你是吃飽飯後馬上刷嗎？
Eric：是的。我可不想有蛀牙又有口臭。
Clarice：你知道當你進食的時候，身體會分泌很多酸性物質到的牙齒上。這時立刻刷牙，會磨損許多牙齒的琺瑯質。
Eric：真的嗎？我以為刷牙是你應該要做的事。
Clarice：不是喲。要等至少三十分鐘後。在這段時間你可以用水漱口和嚼無糖口香糖。
Eric：哇，這樣可以讓我省下很多時間。謝謝你！
(Health) Your Habits May Not Be That Healthy
We all try to do things that we think are good for our health and keep us from getting sick. But did you also realize that some of the things we do often are actually not as beneficial as we think? A classic example is overuse of hand sanitizer. Sure, it kills 99% of germsK but the strongest survive. That 1% remaining can multiply very quickly and become an infection that medicine cant handle. Likewise with using too much disinfectant to clean your house. And what about flip-flops? Arent these much better than pointy shoes and high heels? Not if they dont have enough arch support, and expose you to skin infections on the ground. Brushing your teeth after every meal seems like the right way to save your smile, but youre also brushing away your tooth enamel! Save the tooth scrubbing for morning and evening, when your mouth isnt so acidic.
Dialogue Example:
(Daily Habits) Clarice and Eric are coworkers. Clarice sees Eric returning from the restroom and speaks with him. Lets listen to their conversation.
Clarice: Hey, Eric, you have something on your face.
Eric: Oh! Its just toothpaste.
Clarice: Do you brush right after you eat?
Eric: Yes. I dont want to get cavities, or have bad breath.
Clarice: You know that when you eat, your body makes a lot of acid that sits on your teeth. When you brush right after, youre brushing away some of your tooth enamel.
Eric: Really? I thought brushing was what you were supposed to do.
Clarice: Nope. Wait at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, you can rinse with water and chew sugarless gum.
Eric: Wow, that will save me a lot of time. Thanks!
