1. Exercise for health
Manual workers often feel "the more they exercise, the more tired they get" after engaging in the same kind of exercise for a long time. Therefore, after working for a period of time, they should change a relaxed exercise mode to reduce muscle soreness and stiffness and eliminate local fatigue, but the intensity of exercise should not be too large, so as not to increase the burden on the body. Sports suitable for "laborers" include turning the waist, which can improve the stiffness and pain of the waist caused by long-term work; Walking backward can relax the tense muscles in the waist, strengthen the functions of muscles and ligaments around the back, knees and ankles, and relax muscles and tendons; Traditional fitness techniques, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Wuqinxi and Baduanjin, can improve the blood circulation of the back and exercise the muscles of the back.
2. Diet and health care
(1) Pay attention to the intake of staple food.
Staple food is the main energy source for people. People who work often consume a lot of energy. If they don't eat enough, they are prone to fatigue, palpitations and dizziness. Therefore, manual workers should pay attention to the intake of staple foods, especially wheat, brown rice and oats.
(2) Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
Fruits and vegetables are alkaline foods, which can neutralize the acidic environment in the body caused by labor, reduce muscle acidity and relieve fatigue, such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, bean sprouts and bananas.
(3) Eat more quality protein.
High-quality protein food, such as tofu, beef and mutton, poultry, fish, seafood, etc. It can replenish the heat lost in the body and help the muscles recover. However, it should be noted that when the physical strength is too high, don't choose a big meal of chicken, duck and fish to restore your physical strength, because these foods are sour and will aggravate joint pain and limb fatigue after eating. Choose some light food and fresh fruits and vegetables at this time.
