Experts told, what’s wrong with what we wear.
By what criteria do we choose clothes? It should be fashionable, comfortable, beautiful, approach to the figure by the cut and our skin and hair color. All the way. But often we forget about one more necessary as things wear – for their own safety. In fact, many fabrics can distort the skin, causing irritation, allergic reactions, fatigue and even headaches.
Synthetic – no?
It is believed that clothing made from synthetic harmful, as the body in her “not breathing”, but is should be natural fabrics: cotton, silk, wool and linen. Indeed, once it did. But today created a synthetic material that is perfectly breathable, absorb sweat, dry quickly. An example can be the so-called membrane materials from which sew sportswear.
At the same time in the manufacture of fabrics from natural materials are often used harmful chemicals. Did you know that in the production of fabrics used more than 8 thousand chemicals? These substances may penetrate the skin. That is why the fabric of cotton, for example, the processed can be hazardous to health.
And yet the most dangerous to the skin fabric is a synthetic.
Nylon
This synthetic fabric, invented about a hundred years ago, is made from polyamide. It is very durable, wear resistant and does not crease, it is easy to wash. Use nylon for the production of stockings, pantyhose, swimwear, underwear and blouses, shirts and other clothing. But nylon is almost NOT breathable and does not absorb sweat. Leather nylon does NOT breathe, too hot, moistened. And this leads to allergies, irritation, spread of infection, including fungal.
Acrylic
Also purely synthetic fabric that is derived from natural gas. Clothes made of acrylic can be confused with wool. It is warm, soft, bright and beautiful, but only until a new. When washing acrylic fabric is stretched, slipping and losing their form.
The main drawback of acrylic is It is not breathable and body in this “not breathing”, which leads to severe perspiration. The sweat accumulating under her clothes, irritate the skin, in addition, acrylic is highly electrified.
Polyester
A very popular material of it and sew underwear and outerwear. Manufactured from products of oil refining.
Clothing from polyester it doesn’T crease and holds its shape, pleasant to the body, it is easy to wash.
At the same time, this fabric is NOT breathable, does not allow the body to breathe that, especially in the summer, causing significant discomfort: heavy sweating, skin irritation and even rashes.
In addition, polyester accumulate static electricity, so stick to the body and collects dust.
But the greatest danger of polyester – monomer. This molecule, Which for some reason were NOT vovlechennye in an inert polymer chain. They can interact with air or water, releasing Toxic substances and causing injury.
Viscose
Viscose cannot be fully attributed to the synthetic materials: it is Made of cellulose – a natural material, but by chemical means. In the same way as natural fabrics, rayon is breathable, absorbs moisture. From it produce various clothes, including children’s and underwear.
In the production of viscose consume various chemicals used for processing fabric, to give it wear resistance. It is these substances and can cause allergies, irritation, especially if skin has a high sensitivity.
Bamboo
Clothing made of bamboo fiber appeared on the shelves of our stores recently. Sew it from the bottom, and linens, and hosiery, and sportswear. Bamboo things are strong, soft, pleasant to the body, they are breathable and perfectly absorb moisture.
It would seem that the bamboo is 100 – percent natural material and should NOT be harmful to health. Is it really so?
Bamboo fiber is quite tight, so in the production of fabric, it is subjected to chemical treatment. And there just may lurk a danger. Produce fabric in China. Exactly how its made, what color, what substance are used is unknown.
It is likely that chemical compounds used for processing bamboo, and can cause allergies and irritation, and rash. If after wearing the underwear made of bamboo or use of linens you have these symptoms or other symptoms of ill health from THESE products you need to refuse.
