People who can sleep can live long.
Studies show that there are seven reasons that can affect people's life span, one of which is sleep. After sleep, you can accumulate energy again, compensate the energy consumed by one day's activities, and reserve new energy for the next day's activities.
A good sleep can eliminate general fatigue, rest brain nerves, endocrine, substance metabolism, cardiovascular activities, digestive function and respiratory function, promote the growth and self-repair of body tissues, enhance immune function and improve resistance to diseases, which is very important for health preservation.
Sleeping in childhood is the best way to nourish yin.
It is recommended to rest at midnight every night and go to sleep at midnight. Experts believe that Yin Qi is full of sleep, while Yang Qi is full of sleep. Children are when the yang is the weakest and the yin is the most prosperous. At this time, sleeping is the best way to nourish yin and the quality of sleep is also the best.
It is best to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, which is helpful for the generation of yang. If you go to bed late the night before, you have to get up before 5 am, and you can take a nap during the day.
Sleeping like a bow works well.
"Sleeping like a bow" can reduce the force of the center of the earth on the human body and make people feel relaxed and comfortable. Because people's hearts are mostly on the left side of the body, lying to the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart.
People who love snoring are also suitable for bow sleeping position, because snoring is prone to apnea. If you take the supine position, small tongue will fall backwards, which will easily lead to airway collapse, leading to poor airway circulation and aggravating snoring symptoms.
Yang can be gathered in the small bedroom.
When choosing the orientation of the living house, you should try to choose the house facing south. The sunlight of the house should not be blocked by the building in front, and try to avoid the cold and humid room, which is beneficial to joint health. In addition, for the elderly, it is suggested that the sleeping room should not be too big, mainly in Juyang.
Traditional health care pays attention to closing doors and windows when sleeping, because people will form a protective layer of yang on their body surface when they fall asleep, and ventilation at night will easily blow away the yang. It is recommended to take a bath before going to bed, or turn on the air conditioner in advance to cool the bedroom, but close the window and wear pajamas when sleeping.
Eat too much and can't sleep well.
If you eat too much for dinner, you will consume more gas. If you consume gas, you will get angry and disturb the yang. At night, insufficient yang may lead to indigestion, and food accumulates in the stomach. Long-term depression will be converted into heat, which is easy to produce stomach heat, leading to poor sleep and affecting sleep quality.
In addition, overeating at dinner will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and the information of intense work will be continuously transmitted to the brain, causing insomnia and dreaminess, which will easily lead to neurasthenia and other diseases over time.
If middle-aged and elderly people overeat for a long time and repeatedly stimulate a large amount of insulin secretion, it will often cause the burden of insulin B cells to increase, leading to failure and inducing diabetes.
