Get up late in the morning and go to bed early at night.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, man and nature are a whole, and man should adapt to the changes of the four seasons of nature and arrange his daily life and rest reasonably. When the sun rises, the body's biological clock will give instructions, and the sympathetic nerves will start to get excited, which means it's time for you to get up.
Have breakfast early, have dinner early.
When people sleep, the digestive system is still trying to digest the food they eat all day. If you eat breakfast too early, it will make your digestive system tired. After waking up, you can drink a little water first, and then prepare breakfast leisurely, leaving enough rest time for the digestive system.
Eat hard in the morning and drink thin at night.
The "hard" eating here actually doesn't refer to things with hard taste, but foods with rich nutrition and high energy, such as lean meat and cereal. However, the elderly with weak digestive function should also consider whether the food is digestible. After dinner, people's activities will be reduced. In order to avoid food accumulation, eat less, choose digested food, porridge is better, and meat and spicy food are best avoided.
Drink water in the morning and honey at night.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: "Drink salt water early and honey late". Salt has the functions of clearing away heat, cooling blood, detoxifying and nourishing kidney. Drinking a glass of light salt water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning is helpful to reduce fire and benefit the kidney, relieve constipation, improve the digestive function of the stomach, and is also good for those who get angry and have a sore throat. However, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and people with poor renal function should drink carefully.
Exercise late in the morning and early in the evening.
A major principle in choosing exercise time is: don't exercise until you see the sun. Therefore, the morning exercise should wait until the sun comes out, and the evening exercise should be before the sun goes down. Only in this way can we ensure that the yang in the human body is not destroyed. Therefore, morning exercise in winter is later than other seasons, and evening exercise is earlier than other seasons.
Exercise quietly in the morning and exercise more at night.
Some people like doing exercises and boxing, while others like running and dancing. We should choose different exercise methods according to different physical conditions. In the morning, people just woke up from sleep, and the whole body was still in a state of "inhibition". Proper exercise helps to restore vitality. But the awakening of the human body needs a process, which should be gradual, so don't do strenuous exercise in the morning, you can do morning exercises and do Tai Chi.
Get up early in the sun and soak your feet at night.
Sunbathing helps to supplement calcium and cheer up the spirit. It is suggested to spend more time in the sun 15 minutes in the morning, which is helpful to improve the level of vitamin D and promote the absorption of calcium. Soaking feet with hot water is helpful to blood circulation and improve sleep quality. It is recommended to do it before going to bed. After a day's activities, I feel very tired at night, and my liver and kidney are in urgent need of rest. At this time, the best conditioning method is to soak your feet.
