The so-called health is the meaning of life, survival and growth. The so-called maintenance means maintenance, recuperation and nourishing. In a word, keeping in good health is to maintain life.
Now living conditions are good, eating and drinking every day; Or you are busy with work and have no time to care about your health. Over time, your body will have various discomforts and even diseases, which will not only waste money but also bring unspeakable pain!
Therefore, in daily life, we should maintain some good living habits and use some fragmented time to maintain ourselves and recuperate our bodies, so as to be healthy and light!
Today, I would like to recommend to you a regimen that I have treasured for many years. I hope these methods can help you and let everyone have a healthy body in this fast-paced era!
1. Foot bath
There is an old saying: people get old before they get old. This is no exaggeration. A newborn baby, white and chubby, with delicate and soft skin. That's cute. With the growth of age, feet are always the most tired. Walking and running feet have to bear the pressure for a long time every day, especially for people with sweaty feet and beriberi. That foot really worked in a dark and humid environment for a long time.
There are also some special posts that need to stand for several hours or even longer every day. If the foot does not relax for a long time, it will cause pain and even edema; The foot is the end of the human body, farthest from the heart, so with the increase of age, the performance of the heart declines, the blood supply ability becomes weak, and it becomes more difficult for the blood from the foot to return to the heart. At this time, the foot will accumulate garbage in the body, which will block blood vessels over time, causing edema and aging. This is why people get old first, so we often relax and maintain our feet.
The simplest thing we can do in our daily life is to soak our feet. There are a lot of nerves and acupoints on the soles of our feet, and many acupoints correspond to various organs of our bodies, so we should take good care of our feet and adjust our organs accordingly. So soaking feet every day is one of the best ways to keep fit.
You must use hot water to soak your feet. Hot water can stimulate blood vessels in your feet and accelerate blood circulation. Sometimes we can soak our feet with some salt or wormwood and saffron, and the effect will be better! Conditional can go to some foot bath shops to do foot bath and foot massage, the effect is very good!
kick
When I say kick, I don't mean to move forward, but to lift my legs back so that I can kick my ass. Kick your legs back and try to keep your heels in regular contact with your ass. No, don't worry. Take your time. I'll kick your ass one day.
Even, after kicking the ass, you can help stop your leg with your hands, try to keep your heel close to your ass, and keep your other leg as straight as possible. This action can stop for a while, ten seconds or a few minutes to see if you can balance. Even when you are still, you can close your eyes, keep your balance, and then breathe rhythmically at a constant speed. This is an upgraded version of Golden Rooster independence, which is slightly more difficult than Golden Rooster independence.
It has stretching effect on the front of the leg. In front of the leg is the stomach meridian, and the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. The fuel tank of a car provides you with daily power and energy. When the stomach is well digested and the nutrition is absorbed, the body will get enough nutrition. Its benefits are self-evident. Moreover, kicking can stretch bones and muscles, exercise leg muscles and regulate body and mind. Stick to it and you will feel flexible and powerful, and you can also play a straight role!
Twist the waist
Waist twisting is an exercise for the spine. Nowadays, with the change of work, entertainment and lifestyle, more and more people suffer from diseases such as lumbar muscle strain and disc herniation, and more people have waist discomfort, which has hidden dangers in waist health. After sitting in the office all day, do you often feel backache and fidgety? Then twist the waist properly to give the waist a time to relax.
The action of twisting the waist is very simple. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, bend your legs and keep your knees under your toes. Hold your hands in a ball on your chest. Relax your shoulders, not too tight. Twist your waist clockwise or counterclockwise, or both directions. Try to keep your upper body still when twisting. Be careful not to be too stiff, and combine motion with motion. If you find it difficult to catch the ball with your hands, you can also hold your fist with your hands.
Although it's a small waist twist, your spine is doing exercises section by section. Waist twisting can guide qi and blood to the waist, relax stiff muscles and lubricate dry joints. The upper part of the spine can reach the back of the head and the lower part can reach the sacrum, so this movement can go up and down, although only at the waist. Therefore, after sitting for a long time or standing for a long time, you should twist your waist to relax the waist that has been in a stiff state for a long time, so that the probability of lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation will be greatly reduced.
Stick it on the wall
The specific method is to choose a wall and stick your whole body's back tightly against the wall. There is an idiom called jumping on the ground, or jumping on the wall. The back of your head, your whole shoulders and back, your hips, the back of your thighs and calves, your heels and your arms are all tightly attached to the wall.
Don't think this action is simple. At the beginning, you will find it difficult and painful to stick all these surfaces on the wall. When you do this action, your body will tighten, your muscles will tighten, and you will naturally hold your head up, hold your chest in, hold your head up, inhale and lift your anus. Stick to this action for half an hour every day, and after a week, your waist and abdomen will see the good effect of body shaping.
Don't underestimate this half hour. There are really not many people who can completely persist. You can adjust the time appropriately when you start, five minutes to half an hour. If you persist for a period of time, you will find that the cervical pain caused by incorrect sitting posture will disappear, and your whole energy will become very vigorous, which will greatly promote your temperament and figure.
Turn your tongue
Tongue is the softest organ and the most flexible muscle of human body. It is not only a taste organ, but also the first digestive organ of human body. The tongue secretes a lot of body fluids every day, which helps the human body to digest deeply and effectively, moisten the stomach and intestines, improve the function of the spleen and stomach, and may even play a positive role in solving problems such as bitter mouth and bad breath. Therefore, a person's tongue secretes a lot of body fluid, which shows that he has a good appetite and his body is naturally great.
In addition, according to the conclusion of modern medicine, the nerve of the tongue is connected with the brain, and the movement of the tongue can exercise the nerve of the brain and avoid atrophy. People who see dementia often lead to stiff tongue, unclear speech, communication problems and poor quality of life.
Therefore, you should always exercise your tongue, keep your tongue flexible and exercise your brain at the same time. The way to turn your tongue is simple. The lips are slightly closed, the tongue rotates around the teeth, and the tip of the tongue gently rotates against the gums. When you turn, you can take four eight beats clockwise and then four eight beats counterclockwise. When you turn, you will feel that the position of your back neck will be very sore.
This is normal. If you can't do so much at once, you can stop for a while and continue. At the beginning, the quantity can be reduced appropriately and gradually. It is better to look straight or close your eyes slightly when turning, and it is better to keep relatively concentrated attention. It is excellent to do it when you are free after dinner or before going to bed!
6. Abdominal pushing method
Pushing the stomach, as the name implies, is pushing the stomach. This method was first found in the books of Chinese Liba people and also in other Chinese medicine websites. Although words and actions may not be completely consistent, the core is the same, which is to make the stomach move and remove the potential diseases hidden in the stomach.
There are several ways to push the abdomen: first, combine clockwise and counterclockwise, that is, massage the abdomen clockwise or counterclockwise with your palm, commonly known as circular massage. There is a saying that clockwise is diarrhea and counterclockwise is tonic. I usually 10 clockwise and 10 counterclockwise. When you massage around, you'd better feel right for yourself.
This method is conducive to promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis, promoting digestion and absorption, and has a certain effect on constipation; And after doing it, the stomach feels very warm, which is also helpful for people who are prone to catch cold in the waist and abdomen.
The second is to really push the abdomen, from the position of the heart socket, from top to bottom, from the position of the heart socket to the lower abdomen, stronger than the circle. Be careful when pushing, from the heart, and don't get it in the wrong direction.
This direction can easily promote garbage removal. There is lymph in the groin, so the detoxification function of lymph is needless to say. When pushing the abdomen, when you encounter lumps, pain points, soreness points, etc. in the abdomen, you should be careful and press more and more. Every day for more than ten minutes, it will gradually melt after a while. When pushing the abdomen, everyone's performance is different, and some will burp, which is the exhaust gas going up; Some will fart, that is, the exhaust gas will be discharged downwards; Some people will growl, indicating that gastrointestinal peristalsis is accelerating; Some will run to the toilet, that is, waste and waste water will go down. In short, it is a good phenomenon. Pushing the abdomen more will greatly reduce the chance of getting digestive system diseases.
7.lace
Tendons, in modern medicine, are ligaments. As people get older, ligaments will age a little. When I was a child, it was difficult to chew my toes casually and finally bend over to touch my feet, which was a kind of aging. Tendon aging is a big reason, on the one hand, it is the result of natural laws, on the other hand, it is also the performance of lack of exercise.
Lightweight steps and free movements always give people a feeling of youth, even if you are 60 or 70 years old; Stiff joints and slow movements will always give people the feeling of aging before they get old, even if you are only twenty or thirty years old. Many people in modern society are thirty and sixty. Modern office makes us have to face computers all day and accept the radiation hazards of fax machines, photocopiers, monitors and so on.
Sitting in the office for a day, the muscles are in a state of tension for a long time and the ligaments are aging. Man is like a machine, which is motionless for a long time, easy to rust and inflexible in operation. Either it's stuck here or it doesn't move smoothly there. So exercise regularly, relax muscles, promote blood circulation and stay young.
Scissors are divided into vertical and horizontal types. Recumbent lacing method: place two chairs against the wall or door frame; Sit on the edge of the chair against the wall or door frame, and move your hips as far as possible to the edge of the chair; Lie on your back, with your right foot leaning against the wall post or door frame, your left foot bending towards the ground, trying to touch the ground, and put your hands flat on the chair for ten minutes. During the period, the left foot can also swing in a riding posture, which is beneficial to the joint relaxation of the hip joint; Move the chair to the other side, then change your left and right feet as above, and do it for another ten minutes.
Standing lacing method: find a door frame, lift the door frames on both sides with both hands, and stretch your arms as far as possible; Stand in a lunge with one foot in front and the other foot behind, and keep your legs as straight as possible; The body is just parallel to the door frame, the head is upright, and the eyes are looking straight ahead; Stand in this position for three minutes, then lunge with the other leg and stand for three minutes.
So what is the principle of lacing? Lacing tendons can soften tendons and repair dislocations on the spine. What do you mean? Bones are strong and tendons are soft, and qi and blood flow naturally? Pain, numbness and bloating in the waist, knees, limbs and all parts of the body can be relieved or even eliminated by lacing. Secondly, lacing can open the Du meridian and bladder meridian in the back, and the Du meridian and Yang qi meet to control renal function, and the kidney is the innate foundation and the source of essence. With sufficient kidney essence, people are not easy to feel sleepy and listless. Bladder meridian is the largest detoxification system of human body and an important barrier against cold. If the bladder channels and collaterals are unobstructed, the wind and cold are difficult to invade, and the toxins in the body are discharged at any time, then the symptoms such as obesity, constipation, acne and pigmentation will naturally be eliminated and alleviated.
Comb hair
First of all, from the perspective of combs, plastic combs must be eliminated, and this thing is not necessarily much cheaper. However, static electricity occurs frequently after carding, especially in dry weather. Why don't you just use your fingers instead of a comb? There are many sizes to choose from, such as wood and horns, which are both environmentally friendly and economical. Jade comb is good, but it is expensive and difficult to serve. People like me often drop their combs and don't feel bad for me for days. A jade comb can buy a pile of wooden combs.
The teeth of the comb should not be too sharp or too dense. If it is too sharp, it is easy to hurt the scalp. If it is too dense, if your hair is not soft enough, or if it has been dyed, it is easy to pull it down when combing your hair. This is undoubtedly worse for people with less hair or hair loss. In short, when buying, pay attention to the spacing and sharpness of comb teeth, as well as the comfort of the handle, which can make it firm and smooth to hold. So I chose a comb.
Then talk about the method of combing your hair. The correct order of combing hair is from the forehead to the back of the head until it is close to the neck, where there is no hair. The ear side is also combed from front to back, which conforms to the direction of meridians. You don't have to find the right acupoints to comb your hair, just follow your feelings. If you encounter a sore part when combing, comb it more, or stop to rub it, the symptoms of pain will become more and more intimate. Combing your hair can relieve insomnia and treat headaches.
Comb your hair every day and try it for a month first. The number doesn't have to be large. One or two hundred strokes, according to the speed of two seconds, that is, three or five minutes, will not delay your reading work and will not have side effects. I believe you will feel the symptoms of insomnia and headache, and your hair loss will be greatly improved.
9. Take a nap
Taking a nap is something that everyone basically does when they are young. Many people have the habit of taking a nap from primary school to junior high school. Some people say I don't have time to take a nap. In fact, his noon time is spent reading headlines, chatting, brushing Weibo, brushing friends circle and browsing news. Some people say that I don't need a nap, but look at the yawning and tired expressions. In fact, your body has been telling his request, but you have turned a deaf ear; Some people say that I only have one hour to eat at noon. How can I take a nap? In fact, a real nap doesn't necessarily take a long time. Usually it only takes ten to fifteen minutes. Don't you have such a short time?
As the saying goes, spring is sleepy and summer is lacking. It's spring, the weather is still cold, and it's raining in some places, which makes people sleepy. In fact, weak people or old people and children need lunch breaks all year round, which is particularly hard. The morning's work, whether physical or mental, needs a relaxation, so that the work efficiency is high and the body will not be very stressed.
There was a word in ancient times called meridian sleep. Meridian sleep means sleeping at noon and at noon. The principle of meridian sleep is to sleep at noon and take a nap at noon. A good nap in the middle school plays a great role in health, and only those who can rest can live 2. From the perspective of traditional health care, sleep and waking state are the result of yin and yang alternation. People need to sleep when the yin is strong and the yang is weak, and when they wake up, the yang is strong and the yin is weak. This is a rotation, just like two shifts. Midnight is 1 1 to 1 in the morning, and noon is 1 1 to 1 in the afternoon, which is exactly a period of 12 hours.
Noon is the time when the yang is strongest and the yin is weakest, that is, resting at noon is an opportunity for the body to balance and relax, especially for those who can't go to bed early at night, which is a good opportunity to replenish the body and save energy for themselves. At this time, it is advisable to take a nap instead of sleeping, usually about half an hour, otherwise it will disturb the body clock and easily lose sleep at night.
There are also some things to pay attention to in taking a nap.
First of all, in hot weather, you should cover your stomach to avoid catching cold. When I fall asleep, my stomach is particularly prone to catch cold. Caught a cold, some people will catch a cold, some people will have diarrhea, and some people will have a headache.
Second, don't eat too greasy things for lunch, otherwise it will increase blood viscosity, increase the burden on the stomach and make you uncomfortable to sleep during a nap. Abdominal distension, chest tightness, dizziness and fatigue are easy to occur after waking up.
Third, the nap posture is preferably relatively comfortable, generally the head is higher than the feet;
Fourth, don't take a nap at the air outlet of air conditioner or electric fan, and don't have through flow. Taking a nap every day is a good way to relax and cultivate.
These are simple and easy ways to maintain health in daily life. Being good at using these methods and sticking to them will become a good living habit. Make good use of these fragmented time to relax your body. In busy work and life, your body can always maintain vitality and health!
