Not much to say, then I will share with you some experiences and understandings of living alone for three years, and how to reduce unnecessary medical expenses through prevention and self-care. Come and have a look ~?
First, pay attention to healthy diet?
Many people who live alone actually have a bad habit, that is, eating takeaway or convenience food! But this will not only cost a lot of money, but also be bad for your health. Usually, take-away or convenience food contains too much oil, salt, additives and so on. If eaten for a long time, it will easily lead to obesity, high blood pressure and other diseases!
Therefore, I suggest that you try to cook by yourself, or go to the supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients and deal with them simply. This will not only ensure a balanced nutrition, but also exercise your cooking skills.
Like myself, I live alone, but every morning, I go to the nearby vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and so on. Then go home and make a big breakfast. At noon and evening, I will also cook some simple and delicious dishes according to my own taste and time schedule. After all, cooking like this not only saves money, but also is fun! Of course, if you can't cook or don't have time to cook, you can also choose some healthier take-away or convenience foods, such as salads, fruits, yogurt and so on. , but be sure to control the dosage and frequency ~
Second, pay attention to exercise?
I think it seems that people who live alone will easily become lazy and decadent, staying at home all day and unwilling to go out, but this will not only affect metabolism and immunity, but also affect their psychological state and mood!
Therefore, it is ok to do aerobic exercise for at least half an hour every day, such as walking, running, cycling and so on. Persistence can not only enhance physical fitness and immunity, prevent chronic diseases and obesity, but also relax and decompress!
There is a park in my neighborhood, so every morning after I get up, I will walk there for an hour, and then go home to take a shower and have breakfast, unless it rains. In addition, after work at noon and at night, I will also go to the gym or the gym to exercise, which is actually very meaningful. After all, I can not only keep fit for a long time, but also meet some like-minded friends! Not worse than playing games at home ~
Third, pay attention to the quality of sleep?
Compared with several people in a small room, people who live alone are actually more susceptible to external interference and influence, such as noise, light, temperature and so on. These factors often affect the quality and time of sleep, and once sleep is insufficient or excessive, it will have adverse effects on body and mind. Poor memory, inattention and so on are all symptoms, which will increase the risk of illness!
So I suggest you try to ensure 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every day. We can make a sleep plan first, and the schedule must be adjusted. Don't prevent staying up late or sleeping too much! Anyway, I go to bed before 1 1 every night, and then wake up naturally at around 6 am, which is equivalent to a biological clock. In the long run, you can not only make yourself energetic and efficient, but also delay aging, beauty beauty, especially for girls. Be careful!
Fourth, pay attention to mental health?
It is easy for a person to feel lonely when he is alive. In the long run, it will easily have a negative impact on psychology, such as depression, anxiety, inferiority and so on. If these psychological problems are not dealt with in time, they will certainly be harmful to the health.
Usually, we should limit online socialization and keep offline socialization. Besides, we should communicate more with family and friends, take part in some meaningful activities or volunteer services, and cultivate some hobbies, such as reading, writing, painting and music, which are all good ways to enrich our spiritual life.
Anyway, you insist on calling your family or friends to chat after work every day, or making an appointment with a few friends to go to the movies for dinner. Then, if you don't work overtime on weekends, you can take part in some public welfare activities or cultural activities, such as going to nursing homes to accompany the elderly, or going to museums to see exhibitions and so on. Stick to it, and you will find that such socialization can not only relieve loneliness, but also broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge!
Ok, these are the four main points we need to master first, so let me tell you some cold knowledge about health.
①: Drink plenty of water every day, at least eight glasses of water, to keep the body water balance.
②: Self-examination should be carried out regularly, such as breast examination and skin examination, so as to find abnormalities in time.
③ Maintain good personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, bathe frequently and change clothes and sheets frequently to prevent infection and skin diseases.
Don't eat fruit immediately after meals. It takes about two hours for food to digest. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, it may stay in your stomach. Then fermentation causes bloating.
⑤: Dizziness is not a disease after squatting for a long time, but it will turn black after standing for a long time. This is called postural hypotension, which is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing. Don't worry about what disease you have.
⑥: Leek is an expert in digestion. Belonging to perennial vegetables of Liliaceae, it has strong adaptability, cold resistance and heat resistance. Rich in cellulose, it is conducive to promoting intestinal peristalsis, relaxing bowels and improving constipation.
⑦: Obesity may lead to infertility and may be passed on to the next generation, so we must control our weight, for ourselves and for future generations. Eating meat is not necessarily fat. The fat in food will not be completely transformed into your practice and the fat in use is necessary for the human body, so don't forget to lose weight, and then eat high-fat food.
Generally speaking, living alone is not a terrible or sad thing. As long as you can treat yourself and the people and things around you correctly, you can enjoy the fun and freedom of living alone ~ Of course, living alone is not an easy thing. You need to pay more efforts and responsibilities to protect your physical and mental health and save medical expenses!
Finally, I hope you can take some appropriate measures and methods according to your actual situation to prevent and reduce the possibility of getting sick, which will not only be beneficial to your health, but also reduce the outflow of money from your pocket. These are some health knowledge about living alone that I shared. I hope it helps you! ?
