1, how to standardize Chinese medicine
1, take a nap.
Chinese medicine health care attaches great importance to the role of "meridian sleep", that is, deep sleep at night (noon) and short rest during the day (noon). The sun is shining at noon every day, so you can rise after a rest. The nap time varies from person to person. Generally, half an hour to 1 hour is appropriate. If the nap time is too long, it is easy to fall into deep sleep, but it makes people feel listless after waking up.
2. Nourish the heart at night
When people sleep, the five internal organs are still working, especially the heart, which needs conscious treatment. Eating a little food that nourishes the heart and yin before going to bed helps to recharge your batteries, soothe your nerves and help you sleep. Crystal sugar lotus seed soup, millet and jujube porridge, lotus root starch, longan pulp, lily, or a glass of milk can all better nourish the heart.
Step 3 breathe before going to bed
As the saying goes, "quietness leads to yin, and yin is full of sleep." Slow and even breathing is very helpful to sleep. This is because people's breathing rhythm is slow, the heartbeat will naturally slow down, and blood circulation and life activities will slowly ease down. In this state, people can sleep peacefully. Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to do large-dose exercise before going to bed, and it is not appropriate to have mixed emotions. You can sit still, take a walk, or listen to some soothing music to gradually get better and quieter.
Step 4 soak your feet every day
Soaking feet with warm water before going to bed, supplemented by foot massage, such as Yongquan point (the first third of the connection between the second toe and the heel), is very effective in promoting sleep. Because this can promote the intersection of heart and kidney, and can play a role in promoting qi and blood circulation, relaxing muscles and tendons, and balancing yin and yang. You can rub your feet and move your toes. For example, the first toe is the channel of the liver and spleen, and more activities can soothe the liver and strengthen the stomach and stimulate appetite.
2. What's wrong with sleeping?
1, almond
Almond is not only rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins, but also contains tryptophan and magnesium, which is a good medicine to relax muscles, just like honey. Regular diet helps to relieve anxiety and sleep. At the same time, almonds are also good for heart health and can help you "clean" your intestines.
Step 2: bananas
Bananas are actually "sleeping pills" wrapped in the peel, which are rich in serotonin and N- acetyl -5- methoxytryptamine, as well as magnesium that can relax muscles.
3. Hot milk
It has long been known that drinking a cup of warm milk before going to bed is helpful to sleep, because milk contains tryptophan, which can play a calming role like amino acids. And calcium can help the brain make full use of this tryptophan. Putting mild milk in the bottle will bring you a warm feeling of returning to childhood and gently tell you "relax, everything is fine".
4. Chrysanthemum tea
Chrysanthemum tea is the first choice for preparing tea drinks before going to bed, mainly because it has a soft sleep effect and is the best natural prescription for calming the nerves.
5. honey
A large amount of sugar has an exciting effect, but a small amount of glucose can stimulate the brain to secrete orexin (phenyldihydroquinazoline), which is a newly discovered neurotransmitter related to thinking response. So a few drops of honey in warm milk or vanilla tea can also help you relax before going to bed.
