Throw these 3 things out of your bedroom today itself, they secretly harm your health

News Topical, Digital Desk : Our bedroom is the most personal space in our home. We use many things to make our room comfortable. But do you know that some things present in your bedroom (Toxic Items in Bedroom) can also harm your health? Yes, if you want to sleep well and stay healthy, then you should remove these 3 things from your bedroom today. 

Old pillows

Pillows are an important part of our bed. Pillows are used to give comfort to the neck, but do you know that old pillows can be harmful to your health? If your pillow is more than 1-2 years old, it should be replaced immediately.

Why?

• Old pillows accumulate dust, dirt, sweat and allergens, which can cause skin infections and respiratory problems.
• Dust mites start breeding in them, which can trigger asthma and allergies.
• Over time, pillows lose their shape, which prevents the neck and head from getting proper support.

What to do?

• Change pillows every 1-2 years.
• Use a memory foam or latex pillow.
• Wash pillow covers regularly.

Synthetic fresheners and room sprays

To make the room fragrant, we often use synthetic fresheners or room sprays, but these can be very harmful for health.

Why?

• They contain phthalates and VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can cause hormonal imbalance.
• These chemicals can enter the body through breathing and cause asthma, headache and respiratory problems.
• Being exposed to these for a long time can also reduce fertility .

What to do?

• Use essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint).
• Use natural remedies like rose water, poppy seeds or lemon-baking soda mix.
• Keep the room ventilated and plant indoor plants, which purify the air.

Old mattresses

Mattresses wear out after prolonged use, but we often hesitate to replace them. If your mattress is more than 7-10 years old, it can affect both your sleep and health.

Why?

• Old mattresses lose their shape, which can cause back and neck pain.
• Dust mites, bacteria and fungus accumulate in them, which can cause allergies and skin problems.
• Bad mattresses impair sleep quality , which can lead to fatigue and irritability.

What to do?

• Change the mattress every 7-8 years.
• Choose memory foam or orthopedic mattresses, which provide proper support to the body.
• Vacuum the mattress regularly and dry it in the sun.
