1, good hygiene habits
First, squat down to the toilet. Since the19th century, the "sitting toilet" has replaced the "squatting pit", which not only makes people's toilet problem decent, but also allows more people to enjoy the "toilet time" of reading, reading newspapers, playing iPad and even smoking when going to the toilet. However, according to the Daily Mail, the British who invented the toilet began to abandon it after 150. Rockdale Town, located in the famous commercial city of Manchester, "changed" the squatting pan for the main shopping center. The reason is that sitting toilets are not only convenient, but also bring hidden dangers to our health. Yuan Fenglan, a professor of cancer prevention and treatment at the Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, reminded that sitting in the toilet forms a closed space between the body and toxic substances. After a long time, these toxic gases will enter the human body, which will seriously cause gynecological tumors such as hemorrhoids, anal inflammation, female chronic private parts, and even cervical cancer. Especially those who sit on the toilet and smoke, the damage is doubled. Therefore, defecation in the toilet should be "short, flat and fast" to minimize contact time with toxic substances. From the health point of view, the traditional squat pit is better than the toilet.
Second, use more abdominal breathing. If we do a deep breathing experiment together, when you find yourself breathing, you will subconsciously lift your shoulders slightly and slowly inflate your chest. This is called "chest breathing". But this way of breathing that we may have been used to for a long time will bring harm to the lungs in a subtle way. Yang Li, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that many people are used to breathing only through the chest, which is mainly due to the expansion and contraction of the chest. Diaphragm movement is less, and breathing is mostly concentrated in the upper and middle parts of the lungs. After a long time, the lower part of the lung will gradually form alveolar closure, leading to lung tissue atrophy and even fibrosis. Many elderly people are also prone to pneumonia. In contrast, abdominal deep breathing-expanding the abdomen when inhaling and contracting the abdomen when exhaling-is a good way to strengthen the lungs, which we used in infancy. This way can strengthen and make full use of the diaphragm, expand the thorax to the maximum extent, expand and contract the alveoli in the lower part of the lung, make more oxygen enter the lung and improve the cardiopulmonary function.
Third, I didn't take insomnia seriously. "Keep a good sleep for 8 hours every day" is a healthy concept that has long been formed in our minds. Therefore, if some people suddenly wake up in a deep sleep at night, they begin to worry about insomnia, try their best, and even take sleeping pills themselves. But in fact, people should sleep for eight hours and not be disturbed. This is the concept of modern people. Early humans slept in stages, sleeping for 3-5 hours, waking for a while and then taking a nap for 3-5 hours. Until the appearance of electric light, the normal sleep time of human beings became later and later, and the early segmented sleep was gradually compressed into eight hours' sleep. Guo Xiheng, director of the Sleep and Breathing Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, told reporters that it is a spontaneous normal physiological state to wake up suddenly when sleeping. There are many reasons for this situation, such as nightmares and noise. Don't worry if you can fall asleep naturally again. If this happens frequently, and every time it lasts more than 30 minutes, you'd better go to the hospital to find a solution.
Fourth, the chair does not need a backrest. The familiar straight-backed chair appeared thousands of years ago and is still a common decoration in many families. However, our bodies are not suitable for sitting on ordinary straight-backed seats. When standing or sitting in a chair without a backrest, abdominal muscles are helping the spine to support our weight. These muscles will relax when sitting in an armchair. Only the spine can bear the weight of the whole upper body, and the extra pressure on the spinal disc will eventually lead to long-term back pain. According to statistics, 80% of Americans are troubled by this. Qi Qiang, chief physician of the Department of Orthopaedics, Peking University Third Hospital, told the reporter that the straight-backed chair does not conform to human mechanics. If a person leans completely on a straight-backed chair, his feet will naturally hang up and his body will not be properly supported. Over time, there will be backache and so on. Therefore, when sitting in a straight-backed chair like Faust chair, it is best not to lean back completely, and keep a certain gap between the back of the chair and the back of the chair. In addition, in order to strengthen and exercise the muscles and strength of the back, office workers can bring a fitness ball and a chair without a backrest every day.
5. Don't brush your teeth after meals. It is a good habit to brush your teeth after meals, but some people can't wait to brush immediately after meals, some people don't remember to brush their teeth until after meals, and some people even brush their teeth no matter what they eat. However, if you don't master the correct scientific knowledge, these brushing methods will be bad for your teeth health. Zhou Lijing, deputy chief physician of the Department of Stomatology, Peking University First Hospital, said that after meals 10 minutes, the acidity in the oral cavity will reach its peak, and acidic substances will erode the enamel on the tooth surface, leading to decalcification and tooth decay. Therefore, gargling or brushing your teeth about 10 minutes after meals can effectively reduce the chance of tooth decay. But there are exceptions, for example, after eating sour food, it is best to rinse your mouth with water immediately, and then brush your teeth carefully for half an hour when the acidity in your mouth is weak. Because acidic substances will stick to teeth, it will soften the enamel on the surface of teeth. If you brush your teeth immediately, the mechanical friction of the toothbrush will damage the enamel, which in turn will damage the health of your teeth.
Sixth, bathing is not so diligent. "I love taking a bath, my skin is fine" in the famous "Bathing Song" is a big misunderstanding of taking a bath. In order to keep clean and tidy, many people take a bath as their daily "homework". Even in southern areas such as Guangdong, they have the habit of taking a bath several times a day. In addition, the wonderful advertisements of various bath products have attracted many people to use shower gel or soap every time they take a bath. However, Zhu Minghua, director of dermatology department of Guangdong Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that frequent bathing, especially frequent use of shower gel or soap, will inevitably destroy the oil layer, lead to symptoms such as dry skin and itching, and easily lead to premature skin aging. Because the skin of the elderly is relatively dry and sebum secretion is low, it is necessary to minimize the number of showers, especially in dry autumn and winter, once every two or three days, and at the same time, do not use or use less bath cleaning products, and it is best to rinse with clear water.
2. What health care campaigns are there?
1, swimming is effective!
For qualified people, swimming for half an hour every day is very good for your health. You don't need much movement when swimming, as long as you can float on the water to relax yourself. Swimming can not only treat a variety of bone diseases, but also help to relieve stress.
2, skipping rope is not bad!
The equipment needed for skipping rope is very simple, as long as there is a skipping rope at home. Jumping rope for ten minutes after getting up every day is not limited by the venue, but also helpful for awakening the vitality of the day and stretching the waist. As a sport suitable for all ages in Xian Yi, skipping is not restricted by too many conditions. Therefore, I suggest that everyone can jump rope every day.
3, aerobics to enhance temperament!
Aerobics is mainly aimed at female friends. Aerobics is simple and easy to learn, which can play a role in shaping the body, improving self-temperament and enhancing self-confidence. Therefore, I suggest that female friends can learn a few aerobics moves that they are interested in and keep jumping every day. Soon you will find your subtle changes.
