The pillow on which you sleep can make you a lung patient, check immediately:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Pillow Expiry Date: Have you ever thought that the pillow on which you sleep peacefully, is actually a victim of lung infection or allergy? We often pay attention to the cleanliness of the rest of the household things, but keep using our beloved pillows many times for years. But the truth is that your pillow also has an ‘expiry date’, and the use of old pillows can be very heavy on your health!

Why is the pillow ‘expiry date’?

You will say, ‘There is a pillow a little food!’ But the matter is something else. Every night when you place your head on your pillow, your sweat, dead skin cells (dead skin cells), hair, oil and dirt all accumulate in that pillow. All these things together make a great house for millions of dust mites and fungus, bacteria and even Mold. And you are sleeping on them!

What happens by sleeping on the old pillow? (Serious threat to your health!)

1. Lung infection in lungs: This is the biggest and dangerous risk. The dust particles and sporres of fungus (small seeds) stored in the pillow can go into our lungs with breath. Over time, they can cause lung infections, chronic cough and other serious diseases related to breath. Especially for those who already have asthma or respiratory problems, it can prove to be very dangerous.
2. Allergies and skin problems: Allergies (allergic elements) hidden in the pillow can cause itching, rashes, pimples and allergies to the skin. Sneezing, eyes turning red, nose flowing in the morning can also be due to old pillows.
3. Neck and back pain: When the pillow is old, its support ends. He starts sitting and loses his shape. In such a situation, it is not able to give the neck and spine to the right alignment, due to which the neck, shoulder and back pain starts when waking up in the morning.

So when to change your pillow? Know its real mathematics!

There is no definite date to change the pillow, but it depends on the variety of your pillow:

• Synthetic or fiber filling pillows: They should be changed every 1-2 years. They are the fastest worse.
• Feather or feather pillows: They are of a little better quality and can last for 2-3 years, but it is also necessary to change them regularly.
• Memory Foam or Latex Pillow: They last longer, 3-4 years or more, because they are more resistant to dust particles.

How to check, is it necessary to change your pillow?

Try doing a small test:
Fold your pillow from the middle and remove the air and if it remains folded and does not return to your original shape, then understand that his age is complete and the time has come to change it. If he comes back to his place, he can still last some time.

What to do so that the pillows go for a long time and remain clean?

• Pillo Cover and Pillo Protctor: Always use a pillow protector, it prevents sweat and dirt from going inside the pillow. Wash it regularly.
• Regular washing: Wash the outer cover of the pillow in warm water once a week. You can also wash or get dry cleaning many pillows (according to their material) every 6 months.
• Show sunshine: Sometimes show your pillows fresh air and sunlight for a few hours. It removes moisture and helps kill germs.

So from now on, consider your pillow not just a gold item, but consider your health and keep changing it at the right time, so that your night’s sleep is true and healthy!
