Early morning and bedtime are the "prime time" for health preservation, and smart people will never waste them in vain. Sometimes a simple little gesture can play a good role in keeping in good health. But at the same time, many people are doing some "short-lived things" and slowly destroying their bodies. So what should I do and what should I not do in the morning and before going to bed? Let me explain it to you one by one. There are three "short-lived things" in the morning, and it is easy to die if you hurt your stomach and gallbladder. Get up too hard. Some people really want to sleep for a while in the morning, and when it is time to get up, they get up in a hurry, but sometimes it can lead to danger. When people sleep, the cerebral cortex is in a state of dormancy and inhibition, various physiological functions are maintained at a low speed, the metabolic level is reduced, the heartbeat is slowed down, and blood pressure is lowered ... When they just wake up, this "sleep inertia" will be maintained for a short time. If you get out of bed in a hurry, it is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and cause accidents such as stroke and sudden death. 2. Forced defecation Many people firmly believe that morning is the "auspicious time" for defecation. If the stool is not discharged, "toxins" will accumulate. Therefore, you must try to defecate every morning ... but there is no "toxin" in your stool at all, and you have to defecate in the morning if you are uncomfortable, which is particularly harmful to your health! When defecating forcibly, the intra-abdominal pressure of human body rises and blood pressure rubs up. For people with cardiovascular diseases, it will increase the burden on the heart, which may seriously lead to myocardial infarction and stroke. The tragedy of the sudden death of Ma Ji, a famous crosstalk master, happened when he defecated in the morning. For ordinary people, it may cause hemorrhoids and anal fissure, so I ask you if you are afraid? 3. Don't eat breakfast. I rush to work every morning. Eating breakfast casually or not at all is the daily life of many office workers. But as the saying goes, "eat a good breakfast", otherwise the energy supply is not enough, where can you find the energy to study and work hard? Everyone should know that skipping breakfast is easy to cause gallstones; And the stomach is empty in the morning, but the secretion of gastric acid will not stop. In the long run, it will also cause gastritis and gastric ulcer. Note: Eating these for breakfast is also easy to get a greasy Chinese breakfast with gallstones: fried dough sticks, pancakes, hand-grabbed cakes, soup packets and western-style fast food, and drinking coffee on an empty stomach at West Point. Stretching to relieve constipation and protect blood vessels is 1. When you wake up in the morning, do stretching exercise first, which can make the body transition smoothly from inhibition to excitement. When stretched, the chest cavity is fully expanded. Through the contraction of muscles and the deepening of breathing, it can promote blood circulation, increase oxygen supply and "wake up" the body well. Methods: After natural stretching, cross your hands with your fingers, put your palms up on your head, straighten your toes and hook alternately. While stretching your limbs as far as possible, gradually exert yourself and turn around in turn for about 10 ~ 20 seconds. 2. Drink a glass of water to protect blood vessels. After a night's sleep, the body will metabolize a lot of water. At this time, drinking a glass of water can replenish the water lost by body metabolism, reduce blood viscosity and promote blood circulation. Tip: What is the first glass of water in the morning? Honey water: Honey water is a good choice for people with constipation, but remember to brew it with warm water or cold water, not boiling water, so as not to destroy nutrition. Light salt water: It is not recommended to drink salt water in the morning, which will only make things worse. Warm boiled water: better than honey water and light salt water. Warm boiled water has no burden of sugar and salt, and it is not easy to stomach than cold boiled water. Rubbing the abdomen, relaxing bowels and regulating the stomach and abdomen are the "palaces" of the internal organs and the birthplace of qi, blood and body fluids. Pressing and rubbing the abdomen can regulate the function of viscera and dredge the circulation of qi and blood. Rubbing the abdomen in the morning can also regulate gastrointestinal function, promote intestinal peristalsis and defecate more smoothly. Methods: Lie on your back, relax your whole body, straighten your lower limbs, hold your right back with your left hand and put it on your stomach. First rub it 20 times clockwise, then 20 times counterclockwise. Three "short-lived things" before going to bed, hurting the stomach and ruining sleep 1. Many people like to eat supper late at night, especially barbecue and fried food. It's refreshing, but it hurts their health. Eating too much before going to bed will cause gastrointestinal burden, increase gastric acid secretion, and lead to gastroesophageal reflux in the middle of the night.

Suggestion: Try to choose jogging, walking, cycling, swimming and other aerobic exercises after work during the day or at night. Don't do strenuous exercise within 2 hours before going to bed. You can choose some soothing stretching exercises to relax yourself. 3. Drink tea and coffee. As we all know, caffeine in tea can make people excited. Some people who are sensitive to caffeine may have difficulty falling asleep at midnight even if they drink tea in the afternoon. So is coffee. In addition, the diuretic effect of caffeine will also increase the frequency of getting up at night, and a good sleep may be interrupted. Suggestion: Try not to drink tea or coffee within 2 hours before going to bed. Three things to keep healthy, help sleep, nourish kidney, promote qi and blood circulation 1.

Drink a glass of water to protect the heart and blood vessels. A glass of water in the morning is "life-saving water", and a glass of water before going to bed is also very important. Blood viscosity increases at night, and drinking some water before going to bed helps to keep blood flow unobstructed and prevent thrombosis.
