1, how to keep in good health?
Soak your feet once
The benefits of soaking feet are almost well known. Those who are too tired to soak their feet before going to bed because of working at night or working overtime may wish to soak their feet every day during the holidays.
Gu Qiue said that people who can't find time to soak their feet usually can't sleep well because they are always in a state of tension and excitement. Holidays are the best time to get away from busyness. Soaking feet can not only relieve nervous nerves, but also bring people a good sleep. Only by having a good rest during the holiday can we have the energy to cope with the busy work after the holiday.
She suggested that you can prepare a pot of hot water beside your feet when soaking your feet, because the water for soaking your feet in winter will soon get cold, and the time for soaking your feet is not enough, so you should always prepare hot water to supplement it, at least for 15 minutes to be effective.
Clean the intestines once.
Busy office workers, especially singles, can insist on cooking by themselves at ordinary times, which is a very good thing, but if they can still keep a light diet and balanced nutrition, I'm afraid few people can do it and stick to it.
They eat fast food, convenience food, snacks, etc., and it is easy to form "garbage" in their bodies, that is, toxins. Therefore, taking advantage of the holiday, take good care of yourself, cook every meal by yourself every day, and cook some porridge dishes, which can not only enjoy leisure time, but also clean up the stomach.
Gu Qiue said that people who eat fast food or greasy food for a long time will immediately find their spleen and stomach very comfortable and their bodies very relaxed if they eat lightly during these holidays. If you insist on a light diet every day because you have tasted the "sweetness", you may get rid of the troubles of sub-health after one month.
Pull the tendons once.
In winter, strenuous exercise is not advocated, and relaxing and refreshing lacing exercise is most suitable for office workers.
Due to work reasons, many people keep a certain posture for a long time, which is easy to cause muscle strain, so stretching can relieve muscle fatigue.
Gu Qiue said that there is no specific action in lacing. As long as you stretch your body from head to toe as much as possible, even if you just stretch yourself, it will make your body carefree.
"change" a lung
Of course, this is not really a lung change, but I suggest going to a place with fresh air and breathing clean air without pollution, so that your heart and lung function can be "completely transformed" and have a brand-new feeling.
In this regard, Gu Qiue suggested that you should travel to parks, botanical gardens, rivers and other places in the most environmentally friendly way. The less exhaust gas and oil smoke, the better. Then take a deep breath and feel the cool air enter the lungs, as if he has bad breath. In this way, people will feel good, and happiness is also the foundation of health.
In Xiangnan Square, Nanning, several old people who are playing together sit on the stone steps to have a rest. Going to parks and rivers to breathe fresh air and "change" lungs is a good way to keep fit.
Read a book once
Modern people seldom read books, and mostly rely on the Internet or TV to absorb knowledge, but reading is also a kind of health preservation, a kind of "quiet" health preservation.
Gu Qiue explained that because of the fast pace of life, many people have developed an impetuous and restless character. Although the impact of this personality on health will not be seen for a while, it is really bad for people. For example, people with impetuous personality are prone to accidents when driving and mistakes when working.
Therefore, reading is not to increase knowledge, but to make people stop, calm down and add a little warmth to the fast-paced life, and the whole person will feel open-minded.
Tip: According to the above introduction, everyone will have a good figure after practicing, and more exercise is good for the metabolism of the body.
2, health and wellness misunderstanding
Myth 1: Eating at night leads to obesity.
According to the survey, 4 out of every 65,438+00 Americans work at night, which means that many people can't have dinner until very late. Eating too late will not lead to obesity because we can't consume these calories during sleep? Nutritionist Eric Blackburn said, "It depends. Eating late at night generally does not lead to fat gain, unless you consume more calories than usual that day. But it should be noted that whether eating at night leads to weight gain depends on what kind of food you eat. Many people want to eat something else for a change at dinner. They will eat some ice cream and French fries. Eating these foods at night often leads to obesity. "
Myth 2: Muscle will become fat if you don't exercise.
For people who spend three or four days a week doing physical exercise, if they stop exercising, will their muscles get fat? Dona Richardson-Yule, a health care guru, said, "This will not happen. Muscle is muscle and fat is fat. There is no mutual transformation between the two. " Walter Thompson, a professor of sports science at Georgia State University, said that muscle is a relatively dense substance, while fat has a relatively high density. When you stop exercising, your muscles will become a little slack, but they will not become fat. Is the reverse true? It's a pity that physical exercise won't turn fat into muscle. Lal szcz mansker, a member of a sports club, said: "Although fat will not be converted into muscle, if you want to have developed muscles, you must do stretching exercises to eliminate excess fat in your body."
Myth 3: Pay attention to diet and exercise is equal to losing weight.
If you think that doing these two things well is enough to ensure weight loss, you are all wet. You may have overlooked another major factor: sleep problems caused by weight loss. Dr Evie Van Cooter, a sleep researcher at the University of Chicago, said: "Globally, Americans sleep the least. As you know, Americans are the most overweight and obese. Maybe we should consider the possibility between obesity and sleep. Lack of sleep will lead to our appetite disorder. " She and another sleep researcher, Ace Tessari, also from the University of Chicago, tested the hormone levels of people who didn't get enough sleep. The results show that everyone has a normal sleep time. If the sleep time is less than this time, even if it is only one hour, it will lead to hormonal imbalance in their bodies.
After analyzing the blood of these sleep-deprived people, it was found that the leptin content in their blood, which controls people's appetite, decreased. When we eat to a certain extent, leptin will "tell" that we are full. At the same time, the content of plasma hunger hormone in blood increased. The function of plasma hunger hormone is that when our body is short of heat supply, it will send out hunger information and urge us to start eating.
Myth 4: Pure natural ingredients make hair elegant.
Do you think natural herbal ingredients are superior to chemical ingredients in caring hair? This is a wrong understanding. Paula Pei Gang, an internationally renowned cosmetic expert, wrote a book about hair care after studying 4000 kinds of hair care products. He thinks the opposite is true. He said: "The herbal ingredients in the conditioner actually have no effect on cleaning hair. What really cares for human hair should be those chemical synthetic ingredients that have never been praised. " However, few manufacturers will claim that their hair care products contain chemical components in their publicity, because people have always held such a view that chemical components will have harmful effects on human body.
Myth 5: Shaving is better than waxing.
Scraping method has a history of thousands of years, and waxing method has been used as early as ancient Egypt. Which of the two methods is the best choice? Dermatologist Pat Eksler said, "After waxing your hair, you can pull it out from under the skin surface." So it takes three to four weeks to grow hair again. "If you shave your hair, it will grow back in ten days, and it will be rough. Because the blunt edge of the hair is worn off when shaving, it will sting when the hair grows back. But the uncomfortable feeling of wax coating will not exist. Pulling out hair will form scars in hair follicles, which will reduce the number of regenerated hair.
People who often pay attention to skin care, in order to keep their skin soft and smooth, often spend a lot of energy to choose a variety of skin care products to care for their skin, but it seems that many of us don't know what is the best and most basic anti-wrinkle method. The annual sales of cream is as high as $250 million, but does moisturizing cream really have anti-wrinkle effect? Dermatologist Andre Kamber said: "Skin cream can improve the appearance of skin, but it has no anti-wrinkle effect." Some beauty companies will insist that their products have excellent anti-wrinkle effect when promoting. Kamber said, "This is purely misleading propaganda. If you want to prevent wrinkles from appearing prematurely, you can choose to use other methods, which are very easy to do. " He made some suggestions, for example, don't smoke. Smoking can do serious harm to the skin. Apply sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF above 15 before going out. Finally, don't think that expensive skin cream will have a good skin care effect. Some low-priced skin creams also have good skin care effects.
Myth 7: Reading in dim light will hurt your eyes.
Can reading in poor light really hurt your eyes? Robert Cott, an associate professor of ophthalmology at new york University, said that people often ask this question. Actually, this statement is wrong. He said, "Does your ear hurt when someone whispers to you? Of course not, and reading in the dark won't hurt your eyes. " When you stare at the TV or computer screen, does it make your muscles tired and cause your eyesight to be damaged? Kurt said, "This is completely wrong. You will feel a little tired, but it won't hurt your eyes anyway. However, due to the specific structure of human eyes, people will become nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic. At this time, glasses or contact lenses or laser surgery are needed to correct vision. "
