Static electricity is mainly caused by dry air and non-conductive chemical fiber clothing. When we are in a dry environment, the surface of our skin will also be particularly dry, resulting in a large amount of charge accumulation on the skin, coupled with wearing non-conductive chemical fiber clothes, the charge cannot be exported, if our hands touch metal conductive objects, the static electricity of our body will be suddenly released, and our hands will feel like being shocked.

The presence of static electricity on the body actually has a negative impact on health, causing us to feel unwell, headaches, insomnia, trance, etc.

Let's see how to reduce static electricity!

1. Increase indoor air humidity

The dry environment is one of the main causes of static electricity. In order to prevent static electricity, you can put a humidifier indoors or put a few pots of water on the ground, or put more green plants to increase the indoor air humidity and relieve dryness. Conducive to the discharge of static electricity. 

2. Wear less chemical fiber clothing

Try to buy some cotton fabric clothing or other fabric clothing, and reduce the purchase of chemical fiber clothing. In addition, we try not to use chemical fiber materials when buying bed linen, because the items made of chemical fiber are very prone to static electricity.

3. Use highly moisturizing skin care products

Taking showers and changing clothes frequently help releasing the static charge stored in the body regularly. At the same time, it is best to use high-moisturizing facial skin care products and body lotion. You can also increase the frequency of body lotion, increase skin humidity, and reduce resistance.

4. Stay as far as possible from electrical appliances such as TV

After we turn off the TV or use a computer, we should immediately wash our hands and face, so that the static electricity on our skin is discharged in the water to avoid accumulating too much static electricity on our body.

5. Eat a balanced diet and add vitamins

The octopus can increase the elasticity and moisturization of the skin, have a good anti-static function; eat more acidic foods such as vegetables, fruits, yogurt, drink plenty of water, and add calcium and vitamin C in time to reduce the effects of static electricity.

身上静电太多怎么办？

静电主要是因为干燥的空气和不导电的化纤衣物形成。当我们处于一个干燥的环境，我们皮肤表面也会特别的干燥，导致皮肤上存有大量的电荷堆积，再加上身上穿着不导电的化纤衣服，电荷无法导出，如果这时我们的手触到金属导电物，我们身体的静电就会突然的释放，我们的手就会有感到如被电击一样。

身体出现静电其实对健康有着负面的影响，导致我们身体感到不适，头痛，失眠，精神恍惚等等。

一起来看看如何减少静电吧！

1. 增加室内空气湿度

干燥的环境是产生静电的主要原因之一，为了可以防止静电，可以在室内放置加湿器或在地面上放几盆水，也可以多摆放些绿植，以增加室内空气湿度，缓解干燥，利于静电的释放。

2. 少穿化纤衣物

在我们购买衣物的时候，尽量购买一些棉织品的衣服或其他织品的衣物，减少购买化纤类的衣物。另外我们购买床上的用品也尽量不要化纤材料的，因为化纤所制造的物品都是非常容易出现静电的问题。

3. 使用高保湿的护肤品

冬季虽然寒冷，但也要记得勤洗澡，勤换衣服，使人体内储存的静电荷定期得到释放。同时冬季最好使用高保湿的面部护肤品和身体乳，也可适当增加身体乳的使用频率，增加皮肤湿度，减小电阻。

4. 尽可能远离电视之类的电器

在我们关山电视，或使用电脑后，应该要马上去洗手和洗脸，让我们皮肤上的静电在水中释放，避免累积过多的静电在我们的身上。

5. 饮食均衡，补充维生素

带鱼、甲鱼可增加皮肤的弹性和保湿性，具有良好的除静电功能，可适当食用；多吃蔬菜、水果、酸奶等酸性食品，多饮水，及时补充钙质和维生素C，可以减轻静电影响。
