In these three periods of spring, there are three major events that should be paid special attention to, and middle-aged and elderly friends must know! These three major events are: "nourish the stomach early, nourish the heart at noon and nourish the pulse at night."
1. Nourish the stomach in the morning
? Prime time: 7: 00 to 9: 00
From 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the morning, it is the season of stomach meridian, and it is a good time to nourish the stomach!
During this period, qi and blood flow through the stomach meridian, so the stomach must start working in an orderly way. Nowadays, stomachache has become a common occurrence of modern people. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the incidence of stomach diseases in the population is as high as 80%, and it is increasing at the rate of 17.43% every year.
As the saying goes, stomach trouble "depends on treatment for three points and nourishment for seven points". Even people who don't have stomach problems should pay special attention to the maintenance of the stomach and intestines in their lives. Preventing problems before they happen can make you healthy and less sick!
So eat well in the morning, or you will be prone to lack of blood and stomach trouble. Here, we need to pay attention to two time points:
A cup of warm water protects the stomach at 7 am.
Drinking a cup of warm water around 7 o'clock can moisten the mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa, wash away mucus and bile attached to the mucosa, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prepare for meals.
You can also replenish the water lost by the body, but you can't drink too much water, about 100 ml, so as not to dilute gastric acid and affect digestion. It is also not advisable to drink cold water, so as not to stimulate the stomach.
At half past seven in the morning, have a good breakfast and nourish your stomach.
Frequently skipping breakfast leads to stomach trouble and duodenal ulcer as high as 36%. It is also easy to cause hypoglycemia and memory loss, and increase the risk of gallstones.
A good breakfast should include cereal, milk, meat, bean products, fruits and vegetables. In addition, spicy food should not be eaten for breakfast, so as not to damage the gastric mucosa on an empty stomach.
? Nourish the heart at noon
? Prime time: 1 1 to 13.
The time period from 1 1 to 13 is noon. At this time, the heart sutra coincides with the season, which is the most favorable critical moment of the day. For middle-aged and elderly people, how to maintain the heart is particularly important.
Stimulating pericardium meridian: protecting the heart
The human body has two meridians related to the heart, namely the heart meridian and the pericardium meridian. The heart governs the gods, and the heart meridian is related to the mind; Heart governing blood vessels is mainly related to pericardium meridian.
About half an hour after a meal, if the pericardium meridian is properly stimulated, it can increase the blood supply to the heart and effectively protect the heart. This method is not only suitable for the elderly with heart disease, but also a good health care coup for all the elderly.
Methods: Massage with one hand from the tip of the middle finger upward along the path of the contralateral pericardium meridian, focusing on points such as Neiguan and Jiquan. If you feel that massage is troublesome, you can also pat along the pericardium meridian and get the same effect.
? Nap: Protect the cardiovascular system and prevent heart disease.
Taoist doctors believe that the heart is the master of the five internal organs. Taking a nap is not only beneficial to sleep, but also can improve coronary blood supply, enhance physical strength and eliminate fatigue.
Napping can also greatly reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Even if you can't sleep, closing your eyes is good for your body and mind.
? Keep your pulse at night
Prime time: 2 1 to 23: 00.
This period of time is the season of triple energizer meridians, reaching the internal organs of the body, so it is also a good time to increase vitality and nourish the pulse. Many people will spend their evening time exercising or entertaining, but remember: 2 1 to 23: 00, and calm down.
