What harm does oil smoke do to the body

In a family, the kitchen is definitely an important place, because three meals a day are prepared here. However, many housewives, as the absolute protagonists of the kitchen, do not like to cook so much. The main reason is that the fumes are not only choking, but also ruin the skin that you have spent a lot of effort to maintain. But is this the only harm that fumes can cause to the body? Of course not only that, let’s talk about this issue below.

A large number of studies have shown that people who are exposed to oil fumes for a long time are as likely to develop respiratory diseases as long-term smokers, and may also develop a variety of mutation symptoms. Therefore, we must never ignore the harm of oil smoke to our body. According to statistics, when cooking in an unventilated kitchen, the harmful gases in the oil smoke are equivalent to 6 boxes of cigarettes, 96 cigarettes burning.

1. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

A large number of scientific investigations and clinical case analyses have led scientists to conclude that fat oxides in kitchen fumes can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Middle-aged and elderly people are more susceptible to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

2. Lung cancer and breast cancer

According to the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, lung cancer is the world's number one cancer killer, and about 400,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in China every year. The main culprits of lung cancer in women are "second-hand smoke" and kitchen fumes

3. Respiratory diseases and skin injuries

Oil smoke invades the respiratory tract. Acrolein, the main component of oil smoke, can cause chronic pharyngitis, rhinitis, tracheitis and other respiratory diseases. Oil smoke is more harmful to women's skin. Oil smoke particles adhere to women's skin, causing pores to be blocked, accelerating the aging of women's skin tissue, causing the skin to become rough, wrinkles to appear, melanin to increase and turn into spots

4. Damage to the reproductive system

Kitchen fumes also contain 74 chemicals that can cause cell mutations and lead to infertility. Scientists have found that when fruit flies were fed condensed oil from kitchen range hoods, the mutation rate of their cell chromosomes was 0.54%, and 2.8% of the fruit flies became infertile, with their reproductive systems severely damaged!

The above introduces the harm of oil smoke to the body. I believe that after understanding it, many female friends will be more reluctant to enter the kitchen? Indeed, being exposed to oil fumes year after year and day after day will cause great harm to the body, but there are solutions. First, do a good job of ventilating the kitchen, and then don't measure the temperature too high when cooking, so as to reduce oil fumes.
