The attitude of women to the skinny jeans is very ambiguous: some like them, others hate. Fortunately for the second, this summer they fell into the category of antitrends and the more comfortable models of the 80-90s returned to fashion. But, it turns out, you have to throw away your narrow jeans not only from considerations of following fashion. For that there are other reasons, first of all, medical. Today we will tell you what danger you expose yourself, if you often wear jeans-skinny. Some consequences can really surprise you.
Nerve damage
Frankly, your jeans should be quite narrow to cause damage to the nerves. Nevertheless, it is possible. Surgeon and specialist in sports medicine Susan Fuchs recommends that you give up narrow jeans for several reasons. It turns out that their frequent wearing can cause a decrease in blood supply to the leg muscles, which in turn leads to edema and nerve damage in the legs and calves. In addition, too tight and tight jeans can cause numbness, tingling and pain in the hips and groin area, if you, for example, stay in them for a long time or often tilt.
If you still like tight jeans, leave them for parties and do not wear if you know for sure that you are under any physical stress. But again, hardly anyone is going to go in for sports in tight jeans.
Heartburn and acid reflux
Did you know that the easiest way to cause heartburn is to wear tight clothes. If you put on too tight jeans for dinner, you will soon begin to experience digestive problems. It turns out that close clothing, especially in the waist, can cause increased pressure on the internal organs. Thus, your love for narrow jeans can lead to heartburn and acid reflux. Needless to say, choose clothes with care. Try to give up skins at least for lunch. If you are going to eat at home, choose elastic pants and enjoy the food.
Insecurity and low self-esteem
One of the most dangerous aspects of using skinny jeans is associated more with mental health, rather than with physical. If you constantly try to squeeze into supernatural clothes, this can lead to a feeling of self-doubt and a misperception of your own body. Regardless of whether you have excess weight or not, skinny jeans tighten the waist too tight, as a result of which your figure visually deforms. For example, when you sit down, the skin over the waist is pinched, and you see the hanging sides, even if you do not actually have them. This is bad for your self-esteem and perception of your body, as it can lead to unnecessary food restrictions. Paradoxically, narrow jeans do not help you feel slim, but, rather, vice versa. If you also noticed that your self-esteem is declining, when you wear tight jeans, discard them. They are not worth it.
Damage to muscles
When we move, our muscles need free space to expand and contract. Therefore, if you are going to be on your feet most of the day, opt for a freer pair of trousers. Narrow jeans can restrict your muscles too much and even cause serious damage.
If the jeans are too narrow, they act in much the same way as compression stockings, that is, they are too rigid and can disrupt your optimal blood circulation. Compression stockings are generally recommended for patients with varicose veins, since they help improve blood circulation. If you wear poorly fitting jeans for a long time, they can even cause nerve and muscle damage. Of course, this happens rarely, but still it can be.
Loss of sensation in the legs
Pay attention to how your feet feel when you wear tight jeans. If you started to notice numbness or tingling, it's time to take them off.
The journal "Neurology, Neuropsychiatry and Psychiatry" described the case of a woman who wore narrow jeans, helping her friend with moving. Later this friend brought her to the doctor, as the woman noticed some weakness and loss of sensation in her legs. The doctors found that she had damaged the muscles and nerves in the calves of her legs. They had to cut their jeans to remove them from the patient, who spent several more days in the hospital. You do not want the same for yourself, do you?
We conclude: if you are going to spend the whole day moving heavy furniture and other things, put aside your narrow jeans and put on comfortable clothes. First you need to protect your body, and only then worry about how you look.
Other health problems
Narrow jeans can not only damage your muscles and nerves, but also cause other health problems. Men should be especially careful with such clothes, because skinny jeans can affect the number of spermatozoa. Ladies, in turn, should know that narrow trousers can lead to infections of the urogenital tract. Are your preferences in the clothing of such long-term health problems worth? Nevertheless, this does not mean that you must abandon the skinny forever. If they do not sit tightly and you wear them for several hours, and besides not every day, it is unlikely that it will lead to any damage.
Antitrend this summer
As mentioned earlier, jeans-skinny have ceased to be a fashion trend this summer. So why do not you try something new? Designers offer really interesting models and styles, so you should definitely try them on yourself. Pay attention to the classic jeans. They can be safely worn at work or during rest. So the next time you decide what to wear to a meeting with friends, think about giving up your favorite tight jeans. You may have worn similar models for years, but the skinning times have already passed and the silhouettes become more interesting and free.
Should I throw out my skinny jeans?
All of these health risks seem daunting, but what is the chance that you will come across them in reality? How often are the consequences manifested in everyday life, or did all these terrible stories happen to people who simply do not know how to choose clothes depending on the case and wear such jeans, for example, helping someone to move and doing the hard physical work?
There is no doubt that your health will not deteriorate sharply if tomorrow you decide to go for a walk in the skin. However, like 99% of people who also love these jeans. But at the same time, it is worth remembering that there are still many kinds of clothes and accessories that do not destroy health, even if the risks are not too high. It's up to you to decide if it's worth chasing a fashion that, moreover, is gradually disappearing into the past.
