During the day, we all stand except sitting and lying down. Therefore, health may wish to start from standing. Proper standing can cause short and rapid contraction and expansion of skeletal muscle, stimulate human metabolism and dredge meridians accordingly. Proper standing can also reduce qi and blood, lower blood pressure, cheer up the spirit, help the brain rest properly and make the whole body comfortable. Standing posture has an important influence on the activities and mental state of the elderly. When the elderly stand, their bodies should be natural, stable and tall, their upper limbs droop naturally, and they should hold their chests out and abdomen in. The upper body should not be tilted, and the stress on both lower limbs should be uniform, so it is not suitable to fix one side. In order to maintain the correct posture, the elderly should often carry out moderate general activities to maintain the normal functions of muscles, bones, joints and ligaments.
In one's day, we should spend more time sleeping. Therefore, our health care should also start from the place where we sleep. Generally speaking, lying on the right side with legs slightly bent is the most reasonable posture. Because of this slight flexion of legs, the posture of spine bending forward can naturally relax the whole body, at this time, the heart will not be oppressed, which is beneficial to the heart to pump blood and is of great benefit to the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients in the body. The effective sleep time of the elderly is shorter, but the rest time in bed is much longer. For the elderly who stay in bed for a long time, we should pay attention to hygiene, turn over frequently and prevent bedsores. Old people's beds should not be too soft. Hard bed should be added with soft and thick mattress.
From the above two aspects, we know that a good standing posture can not only make our bodies look more tall and beautiful, but also make a useful contribution to our bodies. Besides, a good way to lie down is also helpful to our health. So don't ignore the above two aspects.
