16种储藏物品怎么放置才好Location, location, location: Store owners arent the only ones concerned with finding the perfect spot in which to situate their stuff. Researchers in a wide variety of fields know that how you organize your environment from where you stand in fitness class to the place you choose to store your meds has a surprising effect on everything from your weight to your chances of staying well. In other words, when it comes to how you feel, its not just what you do, its where you do it. Here, surprisingly bad locales for your health and the best places to optimize it.The worst place for your toothbrush: on the bathroom sinkTheres nothing wrong with the sink itself but its awfully chummy with the toilet. There are 3.2 million microbes per square inch in the average toilet bowl, according to germ expert Chuck Gerba, PhD, a professor of environmental microbiology at the University of Arizona. When you flush, aerosolized toilet funk is propelled as far as 6 feet, settling on the floor, the sink, and your toothbrush. Unless you like rinsing with toilet water, keep your toothbrush behind closed doors in the medicine cabinet or a nearby cupboard,Gerba says.The worst place to set your handbag: the kitchen counterYour fancy handbag is a major tote for microbes: Gerba and his teams swabs showed up to 10,000 bacteria per square inch on purse bottoms and a third of the bags tested positive for fecal bacteria! A womans carryall gets parked in some nasty spots: on the floor of the bus, beneath the restaurant table even on the floor of a public bathroom. Put your bag in a drawer or on a chair, Gerba says anywhere except where food is prepared or eaten.The worst place for your sneakers and flip-flops: in the bedroom closetWalking through your house in shoes you wear outside is a great way to track in allergens and contaminants. A 1999 study found that lawn chemicals were tracked inside the house for a full week after application, concentrated along the traffic route from the entryway. Shoes also carry in pollen and other allergens. Reduce exposure by slipping off rough-and-tumble shoes by the door;store them in a basket or under an entryway bench. If your pumps stay off the lawn, they can make the trip to the bedroom otherwise, carry them.The worst place to try to fall asleep: under piles of blanketsBeing overheated can keep you from nodding off, researchers say: A natural nighttime drop in your core temperature triggers your body to get drowsy. To ease your way to sleep, help your body radiate heat from your hands and feet, says Helen Burgess, PhD, assistant director of the Biological Rhythms Research Laboratory at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Don socks to dilate the blood vessels in the extremities then take the socks off and let a foot stick out from under the blankets.The worst place to cool leftovers: in the refrigeratorPlacing a big pot of hot edibles directly into the fridge is a recipe for uneven cooling and possibly food poisoning, says O. Peter Snyder Jr., PhD, president of the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management in St. Paul, MN. The reason: It can take a long time for the temperature in the middle of a big container to drop, creating a cozy environment for bacteria. You can safely leave food to cool on the counter for up to an hour after cooking, Snyder says. Or divvy up hot food into smaller containers and then refrigerate itll cool faster.The worst stall to pick in a public restroom: the one in the middleThe center stall has more bacteria than those on either end, according to unpublished data collected by Gerba. No, you wont catch an STD from a toilet seat. But you can contract all manner of ills if you touch a germy toilet handle and then neglect to wash your hands thoroughly.The worst place for a workout reminder: stuck on your post-it laden fridgeA visual nudge can help but only if you notice it, says Paddy Ekkekakis, PhD, an exercise psychologist at Iowa State University. In one study, a sign urging people to use the stairs rather than the nearby escalator increased the number of people who climbed on foot by nearly 200 percent. Put your prompt near a decision point, Ekkekakis says keep your pile of Pilates DVDs next to the TV;put a sticky note on your steering wheel to make sure you get to your after-work kickboxing class. Just remember: The boost you get from a reminder is usually short-term, so change the visuals often.The worst place to sit on an airplane: the rearAvoid this section if youre prone to airsickness, says retired United Airlines pilot Meryl Getline, who operates the aviation Web site . Think of a seesaw,Getline says. The farther from the center you are, the more up-and-down movement you experience.Because the tail of the plane tends to be longer than the front, thats the bumpiest of all,she says. The smoothest option is sitting as close to the wing as you can.The worst place to pick up a prescription: the pharmacy drive-thruIn a survey of 429 pharmacists, respondents ranked drive-thru windows high among distracting factors that can lead to prescription processing delays and errors, says survey author Sheryl Szeinbach, PhD, professor of pharmacy practice and administration at Ohio State University. If you dont want to give up the convenience of a rolling pickup, be sure to check that both drug and dose are what the doctor ordered.The worst place to stand during your first few fitness classes: front and centerYou might think that youd want to be near the mirrors so you can check your form, but your sweat session will be more motivating if your view is obstructed, suggests a 2003 study at McMasters University. In that research, 58 sedentary women all exercised at similar intensity levels. But those who did it in a mirrored room reported feeling more anxious about their bodys imperfections after their workout than women who sweated without mirrors distracting them.The worst place for a nighttime reading light: overheadThese fixtures put out relatively bright light enough to significantly delay the bodys secretion of melatonin, showed a 2000 study. That can wreck your night, since rising melatonin levels are a major cue for your body to prepare for sleep. A low-power light clipped to your novel will let you read but leave the room dark enough for your brain to transition into sleep mode.The worst place to keep medicine: the medicine cabinetIts not uncommon for the temp in a steamy bathroom to reach 100F well above the recommended storage temperatures for many common drugs. The cutoff for the popular cholesterol drug Lipitor, for instance, is around 77F. To stay out of the red zone, store your meds in a cool, dry place, such as the pantry.The worst place to set fruit before washing it: the kitchen sinkOf all the household germ depots, the kitchen sink sees the most bacterial traffic even more than the toilet, says Kelly Reynolds, PhD, a professor and environmental microbiologist at the University of Arizona. If the perfect berry drops while youre washing it, pop it in the trash not your mouth.The worst place to use earbuds or headphones: on an airplane, train, or subwaySure, musics a better traveling companion than your seatmates cell phone conversation. But studies show that if you listen through a headset in a noisy environment, you probably crank the volume too high. Harvard researchers found that in reasonably quiet surroundings, volunteers tended to keep the volume at an ear-friendly level. But when the researchers added background noise the loud rumble of an airplane cabin 80 percent boosted the volume as high as 89 decibels, a level that risks long-term hearing damage. If you must have music, consider noise-canceling headphones only 20 percent of listeners in the study who used a set got close to the danger zone.The worst place for your coffee: the refrigerator or freezerThink that youre preserving freshness by stashing it in the fridge? Think again. Every time you take it out of the fridge or freezer, you expose it to fluctuating temperatures, which produces condensation. The moisture leeches out flavor its like brewing a cup of coffee each time,says John McGregor, PhD, a professor in the department of food science and human nutrition at Clemson University. The best spot to store beans or grounds: in an opaque, airtight container kept on the counter or in the pantry.The worst place for your TV: wherever you dineStudies show that distraction is your waistlines enemy it can keep you from noticing how much youre eating. In a 2006 study, volunteers ate faster when watching TV than while listening to music consuming 71 percent more macaroni and cheese when watching a show. If you have the tube on while cooking, turn it off before dinner at the kitchen table, and avoid being tempted into eating in front of the TV in the living room. The best place for your television: up or down a flight of stairs, so you have to workto get a snack youll be much less likely to munch.位置、位置、位置:商店店主不是唯一关心找到放置他们物品的最佳地点的人。广大领域的研究人员明白,如何安排你周围的环境从在健身课上站在哪里,到选择什么地方放置药品 对你的一切都有着惊人的影响从你的体重,到你保持健康的机会。换句话说,当说到你的感受时,不仅你怎么做去重要,你在哪里做也一样重要。下面就是一些对你健康很不利的储物地点,以及做出改变的最好选择。放牙刷的最差地点:浴室的洗手池上方洗手池本身没什么不对,但是它跟马桶太过亲密了。按照亚利桑那大学环境与微生物学教授查克戈巴博士的说法,每平方英寸马桶有320万病菌。你冲马桶的时候,成雾状的马桶臭气能被冲出6英尺远,落到地板上、洗手池上、和你的牙刷上。戈巴说,“除非你喜欢用马桶水来漱口,否则把牙刷放在带们的药品箱或近旁的壁橱里。放手袋的最差地点:厨房柜子上你的漂亮手袋是一种主要的病菌携带物:戈巴和他的研究小组用棉签检测表明,钱包底部每一平方英寸有10000个细菌三分之一的检测的袋子上粪便细菌阳性!妇女的大手提袋搁在各种肮脏的地点:巴士的地板上,饭店桌子下面甚至是公共卫生间的地上。把你的手袋放在抽屉里或是椅子上,戈巴说除了准备食物的地方以外,哪里都行。放置胶底运动鞋和夹趾拖鞋的最差地点:卧室壁橱里穿着在外面穿的鞋子在屋里走是把过敏源和污染物带进家中的“好办法”。一份1999年的研究发现,在施用草皮化学药品一周后,在房子里还能追踪到药品的踪迹集中在沿着进门的路线。鞋子也会带进花粉或其它的过敏源。要降低屋子暴露在外面污物的风险,把乱哄哄的鞋子脱在门旁边,存放在鞋篮子里,或是放在门口长凳下面。如果你的轻便鞋不踩草皮,你可以穿着它们进卧室,否则还是提着它们吧。睡觉的最差地点:在厚厚的毯子下面研究人员说,过于暖和,会让你睡不着觉:夜晚身体内部温度的自然降低触发你的身体变得昏昏欲睡。海伦伯格斯芝加哥拉什大学医疗中心的副主任,说,要让你容易入睡,就要让你的手脚散热。先穿上袜子使你的血管充分膨胀,然后脱掉袜子,让一只脚从毯子下伸出去。放凉吃剩食物的最差地点:冰箱里将一大罐子热吃的直接放到冰箱里是造成不平均降温的办法,还有可能导致食物中毒。小奥彼特施耐德博士说,他是明尼苏达圣保罗的技术管理疗养院院长。其原因是:冰箱中间降温要花很长时间,这就为细菌的孳生创造了舒适的环境。做完饭,你可以放心地把食物放在柜子上搁一个小时,施耐德说,或者你把食物分放到更小的容器里,然后冷冻那样能凉得更快。公共卫生间里最差的小隔间:中间的那个根据戈巴采集的未发表的数据,中间的隔间比两头的具有更多的细菌。你不会从马桶座位染上STD(性传播疾病),但是如果你摸了沾有病菌的马桶把而又忘了彻底洗手,你可能感染各种疾病。贴提醒字条的最差地点:粘满字条的冰箱上可视的提醒能有所帮助但是只有你注意到才行,依阿华州立大学从业心理医师帕蒂艾克卡凯斯说。一项研究中,敦促人们使用楼梯而不要坐边上电梯的指示牌让徒步爬楼梯的人增加了几乎2倍。将你的提醒条放在需要做决定的地方边上,艾克卡凯斯说把你成堆的Pilates DVD放在电视旁,将粘贴条贴在方向盘上,提醒你下班后去上跆拳道班。记住一点:你从提醒单得到的刺激是短暂的,所以要经常更换提醒单的式样。飞机上最差的座位:后部的座位正在运营的飞行网站的联合航空公司退休飞行员梅林盖特林说,如果你容易晕机,要避免坐在飞机后面。“想想跷跷板,离中间越远,你经历的上下运动就越多。因为飞机的尾部比前部长,所以是飞机上最颠簸的地方。她说,“最平稳的选择是尽可能坐得靠近机翼。”取药的最差地点:药店的开车取药窗口在一项对429位药剂师的调查中,参与调查者将开车取药窗口列在可能导致药方延迟或错误的因素前列。调查作家雪莉森巴赫
