Doctor tells about those 3 toxic things in bedroom which are making you sick!

News Topical, Digital Desk : Do you wake up tired every morning, as if you haven't slept the whole night? Do you often suffer from allergies, colds or breathing problems without any reason? If the answers to these questions are 'yes', then take a look at your bedroom. It is possible that the place which you consider your solace, there may be some hidden 'toxic' things there which are slowly making you sick.

Old Pillows

Do you remember when you last changed your pillow? If not, then this is a warning signal. Doctors say that pillows older than 1-2 years can cause allergies and asthma.

In fact, millions of dust mites grow in pillows over time. These are very small organisms that thrive on our dead skin cells. Their feces and body fragments can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. Moisture from our sweat, facial oils and  dead skin cells  accumulates in the pillow, which creates an ideal environment for bacteria and fungus to grow.

• What to do: Change your pillows every 1-2 years. Wash pillows regularly and expose them to sunlight if they are washable.

Synthetic Air Fresheners

We often use air fresheners to make our bedroom smell nice, but did you know that these scented sprays are actually full of harmful chemicals?

Synthetic air fresheners contain chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene. When you spray them, they get mixed in the air and enter our body through breathing. These chemicals can cause headaches, dizziness, eye irritation, sore throat, and even serious lung diseases. Some studies have also linked them to hormonal imbalances.

• What to do: Use natural alternatives instead of chemical air fresheners. Keep the room ventilated, let fresh air in. You can use essential oil diffusers or dried flowers.

Worn Out Mattresses

An old and worn out mattress can have a bad effect on both your sleep and health. Yes, over time the support system of the mattress weakens, due to which your spine does not get the correct alignment. This can cause back, neck and  joint pain  . In such a situation, like pillows, dust particles, dead skin cells and fungus also accumulate in old mattresses.

These can make allergy and asthma symptoms worse. Generally, the life of a mattress is 7-10 years. After this, its support starts to wear off and it is also not good from the hygienic point of view.
