Soaking feet: promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and promoting blood circulation.
The foot is the farthest part from the heart, so it is not easy to get oxygen and blood. Soaking feet with warm water before going to bed is conducive to promoting blood circulation and accelerating metabolism.
Especially in the cold winter, if you can get into the habit of washing your feet and massaging your feet and toes with warm water (40-50) before going to bed every day, you can promote blood circulation and relax muscles and tendons.
Jiang Haitao, deputy director of the Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also said that there is prime time for soaking feet.
From 9: 00 p.m. to 1 1 p.m., it is best to soak our feet with warm water, which can attract our spirit to the lower limbs. Spirit plays a leading role in qi and blood. When the spirit is concentrated in the lower part, qi and blood will also drop.
Brush your teeth: preventing heart disease.
Brushing your teeth before going to bed is more important than brushing your teeth in the morning. It can not only remove oral deposits, but also protect your teeth and help you sleep peacefully.
Most importantly, cleaning the toothbrush before going to bed can prevent heart disease. Studies have found that heart disease is directly related to dental health, and bacteria that cause periodontal disease can also cause heart problems.
Note: It is best to brush your teeth up and down. If there is food between your teeth, you can floss your teeth.
Comb your hair: soothe your nerves, nourish your heart and prolong your life.
We also have many important acupoints on our heads, such as Baihui. But you may not find acupuncture points easily. A simple way is to massage the head with your fingers and stimulate the acupuncture points on the head.
By combing, it can play the role of massage stimulation, calming the liver and calming the wind, inducing resuscitation and relieving pain, and improving eyesight.
Comb the scalp with your fingers until it is red and hot before going to bed, which can dredge the blood flow in the head, improve the thinking and memory ability of the brain, promote hair root nutrition, reduce hair loss, eliminate brain fatigue and fall asleep early.
Note: Massage the head can also improve symptoms such as migraine. Massage for 5 minutes each time is appropriate.
Drink a glass of water: preventing stroke and heart disease.
People will sweat slightly during sleep, which will gradually reduce the moisture in the blood and make the blood viscosity higher. For cardiovascular patients, there are many dangers.
The biggest advantage of drinking water before going to bed is that it can reduce blood viscosity. Therefore, even if you are not thirsty before going to bed, you'd better drink some water to dilute the blood viscosity and reduce the chance of unexpected events such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and stroke.
Cardiovascular patients suggest putting a glass of water beside the bed and taking a sip when they wake up at night. For diabetics, keeping a certain amount of water is also beneficial to control blood sugar.
Note: There is something wrong with liver and kidney metabolism. Friends who often get up at night, please don't drink too much water.
5 Kneading legs: improve blood vessels and prevent heart disease.
Lying in bed, you can also do some healthy things before going to bed, such as rubbing your calves.
There are venous blood vessels in the calf, which has the advantage of accelerating venous blood circulation, and has certain auxiliary treatment effect on patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension, as well as the role of preventing heart disease.
Note: Don't rub and pinch your legs too hard, and don't use too much force. I just feel a little sore.
