1, what is the best sleeping position?
As the saying goes, "Stand like a pine, sit like a bell, lie like a bow" is the posture of spitting and sleeping. The best sleeping position should be lying on the right side, with legs slightly bent and naturally relaxed.
2. The specific benefits of sleeping on the side.
Lying on the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart, which is beneficial to blood output and increase the blood supply to the stomach and liver. At the same time, when lying on the right side, the food in the stomach easily flows into the duodenum and small intestine, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food and the metabolism of the human body. In addition, lying on the right side can relax the muscles of the whole body during sleep, ensure smooth breathing and minimize the physiological activities of the heart, lungs, stomach and intestines. Because of free breathing and adequate oxygen supply, the quality of sleep will be improved.
3. Advantages and disadvantages of supine sleeping position
When lying on your back, as long as the bed is comfortable and the limbs are naturally stretched, the muscles of the whole body can be relaxed, the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral space can be significantly reduced, and the lumbar disc kyphosis can be relieved. This is the best sleeping position for patients with lumbar disc herniation. However, some people vomit like this, and the root of the tongue is easy to fall back, which is easy to make breathing difficult and snoring. After falling asleep, it is easy to put your hand on your chest and press your heart, which is easy to have nightmares and reduce the quality of sleep.
4. The specific shortcomings of prone sleeping position
Prone is the worst sleeping position, so when sleeping, the head and neck are often twisted to one side, and the chest is compressed, which is easy to cause strain on the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck and degenerative diseases, and it is also easy to cause lumbar lordosis, which will also affect breathing and increase the burden on the heart and lungs. So it's best not to sleep in this position.
5. How to choose a sleeping position?
For people with diseases, it is necessary to choose the best sleeping position according to their own situation, otherwise improper sleeping position will aggravate the condition.
1, patients with gastric ulcer had better not lie on the right side, otherwise the reflux of gastric acid from the stomach to the esophagus will increase, which will cause burning pain in the stomach. Lying on the left can avoid this situation.
2. It is best for patients with hypertension to lie on their side, with pillow height 15 cm. Too high or too low can cause discomfort. 3. Patients with heart disease had better lie on the right side to reduce dyspnea and avoid lying on the left side or prone.
4, pulmonary tuberculosis patients have lesions in both lungs, it is best to use supine position. If the left lung is sick, it is suitable for lying on the right side; If the right lung is sick, you should lie on your left side.
6, autumn health precautions
1, nourish yin and pay attention to drink plenty of water.
In dry autumn and winter, the water evaporated through the skin every day is more than 600 ml, so it is very important to replenish water. An adult should drink at least 1500ml of water every day, and 2000ml in autumn can ensure the lubrication of lungs and respiratory tract.
Although it is recommended to drink more water every day for health, weight loss and beauty. Drinking a lot of water at a time without thirst will be counterproductive. When water exceeds the amount necessary for the body, the water content in cells will rise and swell. The worst result will be "water poisoning" and life-threatening. The correct amount of drinking water should be adjusted according to one's daily activities. Under normal circumstances, drink at least 1.5~2L of water every day. Control the water consumption at 1~2 cups each time.
2. Wear clothes to keep warm.
Some people are careless and didn't add clothes in time when it was cold; Some people wear less clothes and don't button their coats for beauty. Early in the morning and at night when the cold wind is strong, the abdomen is easy to catch cold. Especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, once it is cold, they will have stomachache and diarrhea, which is a natural reaction of gastrointestinal tract. The best and most convenient way is to put on more clothes, especially to wrap your waist and abdomen tightly.
The first criterion for choosing winter clothes is to keep warm. Among many kinds of clothing materials, wool, chlorine fiber, acrylic fiber, silk and acetate fiber viscose cotton have the highest warmth retention, while nylon, polypropylene fiber and polyester are not suitable for keeping out the cold because of their high thermal conductivity. The more air the fabric contains, the better its warmth retention. Thick wool fabrics and silk contain a lot of air, so they keep warm well. In particular, the pores of wool fabrics are not straight through, which has better warmth retention.
3. Drink honey after drinking salt water at night.
After autumn, I often feel thirsty. Drinking boiled water alone can't resist autumn dryness. Water in human body will be evaporated or excreted quickly, so it should be "salt water in the morning and honey soup at night". Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human body water, but also a good diet for keeping fit and resisting aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness and kill two birds with one stone.
Salt has the functions of clearing away heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. Drinking a glass of light salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning is conducive to reducing fire and benefiting the kidney, keeping the stool unobstructed and improving the digestion and absorption ability of the stomach. Honey has the functions of nourishing the middle energizer, moistening dryness, relieving pain and detoxifying. Take10 ~ 20ml honey before going to bed every day, and take it with warm boiled water, which can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and blood, but also calm the nerves and relieve boredom. In addition, salt water and honey water can also prevent blood pressure from rising. Salt contains a lot of sodium, which may lead to an increase in blood pressure, while honey has a high content of potassium, which helps to expel excess sodium from the body.
4, diet attention to prevent autumn dryness
Eat more warm food, such as sesame, walnut, glutinous rice and so on. You can also eat more spicy, sour, moist or lung-lowering fruits and vegetables, especially white radish and carrot. Although eating more "bitter" fruits and vegetables is the main way to maintain health in the autumn equinox, you should not eat too much and support too much, so as not to cause gastrointestinal stagnation. It is worth reminding that after the autumnal equinox, the cold breath is getting stronger and stronger. People with poor spleen and stomach and frequent diarrhea can easily induce or aggravate diseases if they eat too much fruit.
