2021-04-14
Health is a one-way street. Everyone should take it seriously. Health first is to live long, and second is to live well.
Life expectancy depends largely on your own perception of health and your own way of life. Here is a new year health guide for you~
01 refuse to stay up late
Staying up late for a day or two may not feel good. After a long time, it will consume people's essence, Qi and spirit, resulting in Yin deficiency, excessive fire, poor Qi and blood, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease will gradually increase. What's more, if the viscera can't rest when staying up late, the toxin can't be decomposed and excreted through the liver and large intestine. Instead, it accumulates in the body, leading to poor Qi and blood, dark circles under the eyes, dark complexion, long spots and other "sequelae" will follow. No matter how hard you try to keep fit, it's futile.
02 control stable emotions
"Anger hurts liver, like sad, sad lung, sad spleen, panic hurts kidney, all diseases are born in Qi." ——Huangdi Neijing
It's good to be happy in life. However, traditional Chinese medicine says "too happy and sad", that is, sudden excitement or long-term emotional excitement will lead to faster heart rate and higher blood pressure. Elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are also prone to stroke or heart attack. Emotion is the baton of people's health, and it is very important to control emotion!
03 family harmony
Research shows that 70% of people's diseases come from their families. But people are emotional animals, how can they not be angry? As the saying goes, "every day there is a small quarrel, but every day there is a big quarrel.". But how to make the family harmonious? This is a science. Four problems must be solved
First, respect for the elderly and take it as the root.
Second: children are the future of the family. Educate them well.
Third: deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, do not make sandwich biscuits.
Fourth: love between husband and wife, this is the core!
Mutual respect, mutual love, mutual trust and mutual help,
Mutual comfort, mutual encouragement, mutual accommodation and mutual understanding.
To achieve this "eight mutual principle", husband and wife not only let the elderly rest assured, but also set an example for their children!
Evening exercise is more worthy of promotion and more scientific than morning exercise. Getting up too early for morning exercise is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
04 learn to drink eight glasses of water a day
Water is human life. You must drink eight glasses of water every day! But the problem is that many people can't drink water now, only when they are thirsty. Wrong, you must drink when you have time, not when you are thirsty. Drink less, drink, coffee, beer can't replace the health function of water!
Keep exercising
Compared with morning exercise, it is more worthy of promotion and more scientific. Getting up too early for morning exercise is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Take a walk after meals every day, and exercise for half an hour to an hour every day. The main content of exercise is walking. This is the simplest, most economical and most effective way.
06 ensure a healthy sleep
Sleep is the basic needs of people, is an important factor to maintain health. When you have a good sleep, you will wake up feeling refreshed and clear headed; but if you often have a bad sleep, all aspects of you may be affected.
Why do you need a good sleep?
Research shows that both the body and the mind need time to rest and recover from the day's activities. When sleeping, the body goes through a series of repair processes and conserves energy.
Sleep is divided into rapid eye movement sleep (REM) and non rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). In REM sleep, brain activity increases. Non REM sleep consists of four stages: the first stage is light sleep, in which you can wake up naturally, and the fourth stage is the deepest sleep stage, which is difficult to wake up. Deep sleep can make the body function get good repair, through deep sleep, can promote health.
How long does a good sleep take?
Sleep takes every day as a cycle and is regulated by the internal biological clock. Although people tend to sleep at night and wake up during the day, this cycle will adapt to everyone's needs. The demand for sleep will change with one's life, and it will also depend on one's needs. Newborns need to sleep 16 hours a day, and most adults sleep on average at night
7-8 hours, but generally speaking, the amount of sleep will decrease with age. Many people over the age of 60 only need six hours of sleep at night, but they may need a nap during the day.
Most people can cope with a few nights of no sleep or little sleep, which does not cause serious harm to their health. But when you are sick or in the process of recovery, you will find that you need more sleep than usual.
How to get a good sleep?
The way to get a good night sleep is a healthy lifestyle. We should develop regular bedtime habits. Healthy lifestyle, adequate exercise, moderate drinking and coffee, no smoking, no staying up late and keeping a happy mood are the key factors to ensure a good sleep.
A good "bed" will take care of your hard-working body and want to be soft and relaxed; it will give you the fun of rolling, so that you don't have to worry about lumbar problems; a good "bed" will improve your blood circulation, so as to improve your sleep quality. At the beginning of the new year, choose a good mattress to give yourself and your family a healthy start.
