First, comb your hair.
There is a saying that "a day's plan lies in the morning", which shows that morning time is very precious. The period from 5 am to 9 am is the best time for health preservation. This period is the time for us to get up, so how can we seize this period? The answer is "combing your hair". In TCM theory, the head is the meeting of all yang. The main meridians in the body pass through the scalp, such as the most important Baihui point in the human body. Therefore, by stimulating the acupoints on the top of the head, we can achieve the functions of regulation, meridians and qi and blood, while combing our hair can stimulate the cerebral cortex, making people sober-minded, not tired and full of vitality in the morning. Long-term persistence can improve symptoms such as hair loss and headache. So what's the point of combing your hair?
1, how to comb your hair
Everyone will think when they see this title. Just combing their hair. Who wouldn't? However, do you know how to comb your hair to achieve the greatest effect? I can't spend time, but the effect is not the best.
The first is the choice of comb. We shouldn't use pointed iron combs or plastic combs, because these combs may hurt the scalp. We'd better choose a wooden comb with round head. Comb from the root of forehead to the root and tip of back neck. The left hand combs the left scalp and the right hand combs the right scalp.
Step 2 comb your hair
Some people think that it is best to feel pain when combing your hair hard. Actually, it's not. The purpose of combing hair is to dredge meridians, not to increase the burden on the scalp. At first, we should comb it gently, and then gradually increase our efforts in line with the principle of "no pain, no itching".
Second, leg lifts.
Now the work pressure is great. Many people sit for an afternoon at work. Over time, their calves will swell up easily, and even some people's feet will swell to the point where they can't wear shoes at night. At this time, the little gesture of "lifting your legs" can save your edema problem. So, how long does it take to lift your legs? The master told you that it would only take five to ten minutes.
Leg lifting has a good effect on improving lymphatic reflux, reducing heart burden and improving brain hypoxia. It can not only help you relax, but also relieve your nervous mood, which is very helpful for cardiopulmonary health care. Having said that, how to do leg lifts correctly?
First find a chair with a backrest to sit down, then lift your legs straight and put them on another chair or table. You can straighten your legs or raise them slightly, even higher than your heart, for five to ten minutes at a time, two or three times a day. I would like to remind you here that if the environment is limited, we can sit up straight and let our legs lie flat without looking for a chair or table. Taking five to ten minutes out every day, drinking a cup of hot tea and crossing your legs can not only make you feel happy, but also relieve your physical fatigue, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
Third, soak your feet
After a day's work, office workers who come home have no energy to do other health care. At this time, soaking feet has become an excellent choice. For office workers, soaking feet is definitely a labor-saving and twice the result with half the effort.
1, the purpose of foot bath
The purpose of soaking feet is to activate the bones and muscles of the feet and promote the blood circulation of the soles of the feet by soaking in hot water. Moreover, this kind of local stimulation will be transmitted to the whole body quickly, so we usually feel warm and comfortable after soaking our feet. Sticking to soaking feet for a long time can not only eliminate fatigue and relieve stress, but also help to sleep, so that some people with poor sleep can fall asleep easily and keep us youthful and energetic.
2. Precautions for soaking feet
The most important thing to pay attention to is to keep the water temperature between 39 and 45 degrees. Because the skin on the soles of our feet is thick, there is no problem with high temperature, but don't force yourself to endure too high temperature to avoid scalding your feet!
