What actions can protect the brain? Several small moves of brain health care
People's brain does not exercise regularly, which will make their thinking dull and their understanding ability worse. Therefore, you should always use your brain. Brain health care is necessary, which can not only improve the vitality of your brain, but also prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. Some small actions in life can help your brain health care. So, what little tricks can protect the brain?

1, rotate thumb

If you feel weak, try turning your thumb 360 degrees. When rotating, make sure that the tip of your thumb is as round as possible. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but after repeating it several times, your thumb will turn rhythmically, making people feel comfortable. Generally, rotate your thumb clockwise and counterclockwise for 1 ~ 2 minutes respectively.

Step 2 shake hands with yourself

This is the easiest way to stay healthy. The key is that the right thumb should consciously grasp the thenar muscle of the left hand, and the left thumb should grasp the thenar muscle of the right hand. Hold it tightly for 3 seconds, then spread your hands. Hug left and right 5 ~ 6 times.

Step 3 pray for good luck

When you feel that your brain is slow and inattentive, you might as well twist your hands and fingers together. After crossing one thumb on the floor for a while, switch to the other thumb on the floor. Then point your fingertips at yourself and keep the inside of your wrist as close as possible. Repeat it several times.

4. Warm wind blows your hand.

Many people use hair dryers to dry their hair after washing their hair. If you stimulate your palm with a hair dryer, it only takes 3 ~ 4 minutes to achieve the health care effect. Send warm air to your palm with a hair dryer. When you feel a little hot, take off the hair dryer and blow it near your palm. Repeat this for 6 ~ 7 times, so that the whole palm is stimulated by the warm wind blown by the hair dryer.

5. Other methods

1. "Brain-nourishing rice" is eaten every day.

According to the nutritional requirements of the brain, brain nutritionists have designed a "brain-nourishing meal": ① The nutritional components are complete, and fat, protein, calcium and vitamins are also indispensable. Milk, fish, beans, oranges and spinach are called five brain-nourishing foods by Japanese scholars. ② Use foods with low glycemic index as brain energy providers, such as brown rice, standard flour, beans, fruits and vegetables and other foods with more cellulose. Eat less and eat more. The brain needs neither too much nor too little energy. Eating less and more meals is more conducive to improving brain vitality than three meals.

Running together

British researchers recommend that aerobic exercise lasting for six months can improve your memory, determination and attention 15%~20%, and aerobic exercise is better than running. German researchers say that running can not only protect the existing brain cells in the human body, but also promote the growth of new cells and improve memory and thinking ability. At the same time, American research says that running alone is easy to cause loneliness, and it is best for two or three people to run together.

3. Think in a prone position.

The brain is the organ that consumes the most oxygen. Although its weight only accounts for 1/40 of its body weight, its oxygen consumption accounts for 1/4 of the whole body. Brain cells 1.5 minutes without oxygen will lose consciousness, and 5~6 minutes without oxygen will die. When you think, the brain consumes more oxygen. Taking a prone position at this time will not damage the brain due to ischemia and hypoxia.

4. Meditate or run when your brain is tired.

Choose a place with fresh air to sit still and let the brain enter a state of meditation for 20~30 minutes, which is helpful to adjust brain function and restore vitality. Another good way is to run on the playground for 15 minutes.

5. Listen to more music

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres with different functions. Human language, calculation, analysis and other functions are undertaken by the left hemisphere of the brain; Music is dominated by the right brain. Listening to more music can promote the function of the right hemisphere. Music had better be slow and beautiful.

Do tongue exercises

The tongue is the leading organ of the brain, and the lingual nerve is connected with the brain. When the human body is aging, a prominent symptom is the stiffness of the tongue. Therefore, regular tongue exercise can indirectly stimulate the brain, prevent brain atrophy, and achieve the purpose of strengthening the body. Moving tongue is called "stirring the sea" in Chinese medicine. The method is to move the tongue back and forth inside and outside the mouth and teeth, left and right, up and down, and then swallow the saliva several times.
