With the change of the times, people's pursuit of objects is no longer limited to beautiful style, but whether it is non-toxic and healthy materials. From furniture materials to chopsticks, it depends on whether the materials are green and healthy, not whether the colors are beautiful.
Talking about the material of chopsticks, bamboo should be the best. Generally, the material is more natural. Of course, the color style made by bamboo is not very good. It can be painted with bright colors and beautiful styles, but when coated with a layer of paint, it is easy to deform, deteriorate, and even cause cancer due to high temperature. Therefore, for health reasons, bamboo Chopsticks are more congenial. As for silver, although it is not subject to high-temperature deterioration, it is heavy to use and easily conducts heat.
Generally, the chopsticks of the whole family are used together, regardless of you and me. After all, in the eyes of the Chinese, it is more intimate to use together. However, it is unhygienic to use chopsticks in this way, which can easily spread bacteria. Therefore, it is better to have one pair of chopsticks at home. In fact, everyone in foreign countries uses their own tableware, and the food is prepared individually. In China, the common chopsticks are not widely used, and their practical chopsticks and tableware are good habits.
The chopsticks used together are sterilized on the outside and scrubbed at home. It is recommended that the chopsticks be put in boiling water and boiled for a while.
The container for chopsticks at home should also be cleaned frequently and placed in a ventilated place to ensure that the chopsticks are clean. When placing the chopsticks, the head of the chopsticks faces inside and the tips of the chopsticks face outward. It can be air-dried, or the bottom of chopsticks Lou will be wet, and the bottom of chopsticks will be stained with mold.
These daily cares are done well, and chopsticks need to be changed often, about once every six months.
Well, today I have talked about these, these little common senses of life, a lot of understanding, home healthier!

It is difficult to guarantee health if do not change chopsticks for a long time.

Natural bamboo chopsticks are favored by people without any toxins, but it is easy to breed a large number of bacteria. Failure to do disinfection may cause gastrointestinal diseases.

Chopsticks made of plastic are lighter to handle and not easily broken, but if they are too long, they may become brittle and age, easily spill harmful small molecules and eventually induce cancer.

After boiling on high heat, continue to cook for 30 minutes, which can completely kill the viruses and bacteria inside.
2. Reasonable use of drug disinfection
If chopsticks are not resistant to high temperatures, you can use bleach or potassium permanganate disinfectant to soak. When soaking, make sure that the liquid does not pass through the chopsticks. You must soak for about 15-30 minutes. After soaking, rinse with running water.
Tips

Experts teach you how to choose bamboo chopsticks
Recently, disposable chopsticks have been exposed again: Addition of additives that are not allowed by national standards-sodium metabisulfite and industrial paraffin-are used for whitening and polishing of chopsticks. These illegally added additives are carcinogens.
Dong Jinshi, secretary-general of the International Food Packaging Association, emphasized that most consumers are aware of the disadvantages of disposable chopsticks, but in fact, reusable chopsticks in homes and restaurants have hidden safety hazards, but they are often overlooked.
■ Market research
Multi-lacquered bamboo and wooden chopsticks on the market
As daily necessities, there are many types of chopsticks on the market, with different shapes, and prices are uneven. However, from April 11th to 13th, the reporter visited some supermarkets and farmers' markets in Chaoyang District and found that most of the chopsticks currently on the market are made of bamboo and wood, but they are coated with various materials. Color paint.
In the Jingxian Supermarket Jiuxianqiao store, the reporter saw that most of the chopsticks sold in the store were bamboo chopsticks, and some were wooden chopsticks, such as sandalwood chopsticks. In a farmer's market near Jiuxianqiao, the reporter saw that there are more types of chopsticks sold here. In addition to bamboo and wooden chopsticks, there are some imitation porcelain chopsticks and stainless steel chopsticks on sale.
Among the consumers who come to choose chopsticks, many people not only pay attention to the material of chopsticks but also care about whether the chopsticks are beautiful. The reporter found that even the chopsticks of the same material have different prices. Some chopsticks that are close to the original color of bamboo and wood are relatively cheap, while chopsticks coated with different colored paint are more expensive.
However, even if the chopsticks are also close to the original color, the reporter found that some are marked as painted, and some are marked as unpainted and original. Generally speaking, lacquered chopsticks sold on the market will mark the lacquer used as environmentally friendly paint on the outside of the package, which is non-toxic and harmless.
■ Safety Tips
Chopsticks should be washed before washing
Choosing the right chopsticks is not the end of using chopsticks safely. Dong Jinshi emphasized that the way and cycle of using chopsticks are also important factors affecting health.
Many households just wash the chopsticks casually. Dong Jinshi said that the correct way to wash should be to soak the chopsticks with detergent for a while and then rinse. The big head should be facing up during the rinsing process. After the rinsing is completed, it is best to wipe it with a clean dry cloth, or it can be filtered and disinfected in a home disinfection cabinet.
After washing the chopsticks, put them in the chopsticks cage with the small head facing up, and pay attention to the cleanness and ventilation of the chopsticks cage.
In addition, many households change chopsticks before they are used. Dong Jinshi suggested that chopsticks should be replaced every six months. Because in addition to metal and other chopsticks,
The chopsticks made of the material will basically form small grooves on the surface, which are easy to leave bacteria and cleaning agents, and should be replaced regularly.
■ Expert opinion
Chopsticks do not choose "naked chopsticks"
Many people like "original" when choosing goods, so when choosing chopsticks, they also tend to buy unpainted "naked chopsticks" in original colors. However, Dong Jinshi disagreed, saying that "naked chopsticks" may not be the safest.
According to Dong Jinshi, the "hygienic standard for reusable chopsticks" that was under active preparations has not been approved due to unclear regulatory authorities. Therefore, the non-disposable chopsticks currently used in households do not have national standards in terms of production, packaging, and transportation, and special care needs to be taken when purchasing.
Dong Jinshi said that from the comprehensive consideration of safety, economy, and hygiene, bamboo chopsticks are the best choice. Because bamboo chopsticks are made of natural materials, they are not easily deformed. And from the perspective of environmental protection, the growth cycle of bamboo is shorter than many trees and more environmentally friendly.
The same is bamboo chopsticks, different colors, how to choose? Dong Jinshi said that when choosing chopsticks, it is necessary to choose a natural color, so that harmful substances will not remain due to treatment processes such as dyeing, and once the painted paint or pigment is peeled off during use, it is not good for health.
But choosing natural colors does not mean choosing "naked chopsticks". Dong Jinshi said that if not coated with raw lacquer, chopsticks are easy to wear and crack, and food residues are easily left in the gaps and breed bacteria. Therefore, it is best to choose bamboo chopsticks coated with raw lacquer.
How to judge whether chopsticks are "naked chopsticks" or lacquered chopsticks when buying? Dong Jinshi said that lacquered chopsticks are waterproof and shiny, which can prevent dirt and dirt, while unpainted chopsticks do not have these characteristics.
Wooden chopsticks with similar colors to bamboo chopsticks are not as good as anti-corrosive and environmentally unfriendly, so Dong Jinshi does not recommend them. As for the silver or stainless steel chopsticks that many people prefer, although it is relatively easy to clean, it is easy to conduct heat and is heavy. In addition, there are imitation porcelain chopsticks in different colors and exquisite packaging on the market. Dong Jinshi emphasized that it is necessary to choose melamine materials. The QS mark on the packaging can identify authenticity.

Why do the Chinese who advocate environmental protection prefer to use bamboo chopsticks instead of steel chopsticks?
Chopsticks are the most commonly used tableware in China, a unique symbol of Chinese food culture, and a manifestation of Chinese traditional culture. More and more foreigners like to visit or live in China. They have discovered a very strange phenomenon. China, which has always advocated environmental protection, likes to use chopsticks made of trees or bamboo. Why?
Chopsticks were invented by China. They were first discovered more than 3,100 years ago, during the Shang Dynasty period. They are handed down to the present day because they are easy to use. Until today, people's lives are inseparable from chopsticks.
As for why Chinese people prefer to use wooden chopsticks or bamboo chopsticks? First of all, because the Chinese are used to it, they have used things for thousands of years. Secondly, the Chinese like to eat hot food, especially soup and hot pot. Steel chopsticks have a heat conduction effect. When eating hot food, the mouth is easily burned, and the hand holding the chopsticks may be slightly Burns, so Chinese people are more inclined to wooden or bamboo chopsticks.
At this time, people are in doubt, isn't China advocating environmental protection? Steel chopsticks are not environmentally friendly, isn't it more worth promoting?
First of all, most of the materials used to make chopsticks are bamboo. Bamboo is a very viable and fast-growing plant. It can completely supply the raw materials for chopsticks in China's billions of people without causing quantity and quality. Impact. Even if some chopsticks use trees as materials, they also use easy-to-grow trees. Therefore, the use of chopsticks does not cause random cutting.
Secondly, steel has a certain weight, and chopsticks made of steel are relatively heavy, and people can easily feel tired or uncomfortable holding them. The steel chopsticks have a smooth surface and are not easy to control. For example, if you eat powder and slip, your powder will run back to the bowl before it reaches your mouth. It is also difficult to clamp meatballs and peas. There will be a sound during use, which is very impolite, and bamboo chopsticks do not have such a problem at all.
Therefore, Chinese people do not like to use steel chopsticks, and bamboo chopsticks are the tableware that makes people eat easily.

How to use chopsticks to be healthier?
The living standards are getting higher and higher, people are paying more and more attention to the diet, not only the pursuit of food color, fragrance, taste but also chopsticks should be carefully selected. At present, there are many kinds of chopsticks on the market, and there are all kinds of chopsticks. How can I choose chopsticks that can be used healthily? What should I pay attention to when using chopsticks?
How to use chopsticks for healthier
When using chopsticks, there are some choices. I think that sometimes, during our selection of chopsticks, bamboo chopsticks are the first choice and the best choice. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and it is also the cheapest among all the chopsticks. Good quality bamboo chopsticks will not be deformed when exposed to high temperatures.
Use chopsticks to change after a period of time. When using chopsticks, we should make sure to use them every 3 months or change them once every six months. Don't think that chopsticks can be washed. The bacteria on it are also Don't be underestimated. After cleaning the tableware after meals every day, do not put the chopsticks directly into the cabinet or drawer. Be sure to dry the water thoroughly before storing it. It is best to keep it in a ventilated place. The chopsticks bucket sold in the supermarket has a sink at the bottom and a lid on it. Be sure to note that before the chopsticks are dry, do not cover the lid, but also clean the sink every day, otherwise, it is a sanitary corner, it is easy to breed bacteria and moldy long hair.
When using chopsticks, some colored chopsticks are best not to be used. The chopsticks of the painted chopsticks are very beautiful, and the shape is also changed a lot, but it is precisely these beautiful chopsticks that I do not recommend in everyday life. Because of the heavy metals in the paint, lead and organic solvents such as benzene, there are many hidden dangers to the body that affect health.
Use chopsticks to prevent infection
When eating, people often have a couple of pairs or dozens of chopsticks on the same dish. In fact, when chopsticks are mixed, it is easy to contaminate various bacteria. The study found that many pathogens are transmitted through chopsticks. According to tests, a pair of unclean chopsticks may carry tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bacteria and viruses. Once people use such chopsticks, they are susceptible to related diseases such as hepatitis, dysentery, typhoid, acute gastroenteritis. When parents use such chopsticks to feed their children, or when many people at the table use the chopsticks to clip the same dish, these pathogenic microorganisms will spread through the chopsticks, causing cross-infection. This should not be underestimated, the chopsticks at home should be dedicated to special personnel.
The practice has proved that washed chopsticks are not "clean." After a pair of chopsticks have been used for a long time, the surface is no longer smooth, and it is easy to make the chopsticks rough when it is often washed. There are many bacteria and detergents left in the small grooves on the chopsticks. In this case, there are many chances of causing illness. It is recommended that the chopsticks in the home be changed once every six months.
New chopsticks should be thoroughly cleaned
In addition to removing the viruses and bacteria that accumulate during production and transportation, the newly purchased chopsticks also remove certain chemicals left on the packaging. After the chopsticks are bought a home, first rinse them with water, then rinse them with cleansing detergent, and finally put them in boiling water for 30 minutes. In addition, there will be some fine thorns on the newly bought bamboo chopsticks, which should be carefully removed. If the newly bought chopsticks have an odor, they can be soaked in vinegar for 30 minutes or boiled for 30 minutes. If the trademark on the chopsticks is difficult to remove, you can use a hairdryer to blow the heat, so that the trademark can be removed. You can also use medical alcohol, high-alcohol, and wind oil to remove the trademark, and the effect is very good.
Always clean the chopsticks thoroughly, try not to put the whole chopsticks under the faucet, so the chopsticks that are cleaned are easy to breed bacteria. The correct cleaning method should be to first rinse the surface of the chopsticks with clean water, then clean it with detergent, and finally put it into the disinfection cupboard for disinfection and drying. If there is no disinfection facility, you can thoroughly remove the chopsticks from the body. Drain and put in the chopsticks box.

4. Plastic chopsticks. Plastic chopsticks are cheap and brightly colored, and the chopsticks of the owner and the guest can be distinguished by different colors. However, plastic chopsticks are relatively brittle and will deform and melt when used for a long time at high temperatures, thereby producing substances harmful to the body.
5. Ceramic chopsticks, stainless steel chopsticks. Stainless steel chopsticks are somewhat heavy to use, especially for children and the elderly. Ceramic chopsticks are fragile and can't be bumped. It is not recommended as common tableware.
How should chopsticks be used healthily?
1. Wash in time after use. Chopsticks should be cleaned in time after use. If not cleaned in time, the bacteria on the table and the chopsticks will have the first intimate contact. Even if it is cleaned later, it is only the bacteria that have removed the surface of the chopsticks, and the bacteria that permeate it inside are difficult to remove if not disinfected.
2. chopsticks should be changed frequently. In many families, it is common for a pair of chopsticks to be used for two or three years. Once the chopsticks are used for a long time, they are easily roughened, and many small grooves and cracks appear. Some microorganisms that can cause disease are easy to remain and grow inside. Therefore, chopsticks are best replaced like a toothbrush every three months to six months.
3. chopsticks light dry is not enough. Just take a rag to wipe the water on the chopsticks, but the rag may be covered with bacteria. In this way, chopsticks will be polluted. Therefore, in general, you should prepare a clean cloth to wipe chopsticks, and dry and dry chopsticks should be opened to avoid cross-infection.
4. Wash with detergent. Many households wash their chopsticks only with water. The correct way is to use a detergent to soak the chopsticks for a while and then rinse. When rinsing, the head should be facing up, then wipe the water with a clean dry cloth, or put it in the household disinfection cabinet for water filtration and disinfection.
5. Place the small head up. It is also important to store chopsticks. It is easy to get infected with bacteria. People with poor resistance may cause infectious diarrhea and vomiting. Therefore, when placing chopsticks, put chopsticks upright, and the small side of the head is facing upwards, which is conducive to evaporation of water without residual bacteria. Chopsticks are easy to mold when placed horizontally. In addition, chopsticks should be placed in a cool, ventilated place, regularly cleaned and disinfected.

Once the chopsticks are used for a long time, they are easily roughened, and many small grooves and cracks appear. Some microorganisms that can cause disease are easy to remain and grow inside. Therefore, chopsticks are best replaced like a toothbrush every three months to six months.
3. chopsticks light dry is not enough. Just take a rag to wipe the water on the chopsticks, but the rag may be covered with bacteria. In this way, chopsticks will be polluted. Therefore, in general, you should prepare a clean cloth to wipe chopsticks, and dry and dry chopsticks should be opened to avoid cross-infection.
4. Wash with detergent. Many households wash their chopsticks only with water. The correct way is to use a detergent to soak the chopsticks for a while and then rinse. When rinsing, the head should be facing up, then wipe the water with a clean dry cloth, or put it in the household disinfection cabinet for water filtration and disinfection.
5. Place the small head up. It is also important to store chopsticks. It is easy to get infected with bacteria. People with poor resistance may cause infectious diarrhea and vomiting. Therefore, when placing chopsticks, put chopsticks upright, and the small side of the head is facing upwards, which is conducive to evaporation of water without residual bacteria. Chopsticks are easy to mold when placed horizontally. In addition, chopsticks should be placed in a cool, ventilated place, regularly cleaned and disinfected.

Whether it is metal chopsticks or bamboo chopsticks, hygiene is the most important thing.
There are many types of chopsticks now. Is it good for metal chopsticks? Or is it good for wooden chopsticks? The friends are already stupid and unclear. Let’s see if the metal chopsticks are healthy or the bamboo chopsticks are healthy?
This comparison is mainly from the point of view of microbial contamination. Wooden or bamboo chopsticks are not so smooth. Some small pits or scratches are easy to hide and breed bacteria or mold. Metal chopsticks are generally made of stainless steel, which is relatively smooth and relatively difficult to breed microorganisms. However, things have two sides, metal chopsticks are too smooth, so sometimes the vegetables are not easy to clip, and often heavier, not everyone is suitable.
Natural wooden or bamboo chopsticks are good, but pay attention to hygiene is the key:
1. Brush it thoroughly after each meal, instead of just like a lot of people, simply grab a slap, smash it, and rinse it a few times.
2. chopsticks should often be hot water or boil, or microwave oven to treat, to disinfect, for example, our family basically cooks 1 or 2 times a week.
3. At the same time, the chopsticks tube holding the chopsticks should be cleaned frequently. If it is not washed for a long time, the chopsticks will be repeatedly polluted.
4. chopsticks should also be replaced regularly, it is best not to replace it once more than half a year.
Finally, I remind everyone that chopsticks and plastic chopsticks of colored paint are relatively not recommended for purchase. In particular, the chopsticks may fall off slowly during use.
Whether using bamboo chopsticks or metal chopsticks, you should pay attention to why, if you do not pay attention to hygiene, it is no good.
