His profile offers a wealth of information, ranging from advice on managing fatty liver disease to tips for maintaining daily hygiene, all aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Recently, Dr. Sethi emphasized the significance of bathroom hygiene and identified three items that should be discarded immediately. In his video, he stated, "Three toxic bathroom items you should dispose of without delay. I discuss the top three most harmful items found in bathrooms that can negatively impact your health! Which of these have you already removed from your household?" 

Here are three bathroom items that should be eliminated without delay:

Toothbrushes:

Recent research indicates that 75% of individuals utilize their toothbrushes beyond the advised duration of three months. After this period, toothbrushes can lose as much as 30% of their effectiveness, and bacteria may begin to accumulate on the bristles. Therefore, if it has been three to four months since the last replacement, it is advisable to dispose of the toothbrush, as stated by Dr. Saurabh Sethi in the video.

Razor blades:

Razor blades, when they become dull, are not good for use. “Dull razor blades cause ten times more skin irritation. Replace them after 5 to 7 uses to avoid skin damage and infections,” added the doctor.

Anti-microbial mouthwash:

Dr. Saurabh Sethi emphasized the importance of understanding the impact of anti-microbial mouthwash, stating that research indicates it may adversely affect beneficial bacteria in the oral cavity, which in turn can disrupt the equilibrium of the gut microbiome. The mouth hosts a significant population of bacteria that play a crucial role in sustaining this balance. The use of anti-microbial mouthwash can eliminate these beneficial bacteria, leading to an overall imbalance. Therefore, it is vital to be aware of how the products we utilize can influence our health and to make informed decisions accordingly.
