What is cat sleep? Does the cat sleep well?
Some habits, behaviors and actions of cats are inextricably linked with people's daily life. Many of their habits, shapes and movements are imitated and used for reference by people, which is of great help to people's healthy life. Stretch in the morning "like a cat". After waking up every morning, lie in bed, spread out your hands, straighten your legs, pout your hips, arch your waist like a cat's spine, and then put down your high hips and do it for more than a dozen times. Or kneel on the bed with your knees and hands, hunch your shoulders, arch your back, contract your abdomen, arch your back column, then relax your shoulders, and sink your back to make your spine droop, making a cat-like stretch. This interaction can be repeated more than a dozen times; You can also put your body close to the bed surface, lift your hands up, and then stretch up or down with your feet. The bigger the action, the better, as far as possible to the limit; This can promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the whole body and prevent and treat diseases such as backache and backache. These three actions can be performed alternately. 1, kneeling, trunk upright, hands clasped behind your back; The arm drives the shoulders to slowly sink, raise the head, push the chest forward, and keep breathing normally for 3 ~ 6 times. 2, slowly restore the trunk upright, then put your hands on the front side of the lower abdomen, push your back, push your hands forward, and keep breathing normally for 3 ~ 6 times. This set of actions is repeated three times. Stretching every morning will cause strong contraction of most muscles in the whole body. In the process of stretching for a few seconds, a large amount of congestion will be washed back to the heart, which can improve blood circulation. At the same time, muscle contraction and relaxation can also improve the blood flow of the muscle itself, so that the waste in the muscle can be taken away, thus eliminating fatigue and invigorating the spirit. Noon-practicing "cat yoga" yoga in yoga practice can soften the spine and strengthen the blood circulation of abdominal muscles, especially for people with backache. The specific method is: keep kneeling, stretch your arms forward, hold your hands on the ground, slowly exhale and arch your back, the abdomen contracts inward, the chin is as close to your chest as possible, hold your breath 10- 15 seconds, then look up and inhale, and then hold your breath 10-65438. This action can be repeated 2-3 times. Press the palm of your hand on the ground and put it in the middle position under your shoulders. Your arms should be vertical, at right angles to the ground and shoulder width. Inhale, at the same time slowly raise the pelvis, and bend the waist slightly downward into an arc. Exhale, and at the same time arch your back slowly upward, and your back feels stretched. Repeat the above actions 6 to 10 times with breathing. Raise your head, look forward and stretch your back. Keep your straight hands and feet parallel to the ground. At night-tiptoe quietly, catwalk. Cats walk slowly, have the best sense of rhythm and are calm and confident. Because the cat has a meat pad on its sole, it walks almost silently. If people stand on tiptoe, they can walk silently like cats. Walking on tiptoe has many benefits for people's health. Tiptoe walking is also called tiptoe walking, that is, walking with your heels up, walking completely on your toes and trying not to make any noise. You can try this kind of walking when you take a walk after dinner. When you walk on tiptoe, you will feel very nervous about the flexor muscles at the center of your foot and the back of your calf, which is much higher than the exercise intensity of flexor muscles when you walk normally, so you can generally walk in a hundred steps, don't be brave, and you can do it in stages. Cats will walk backwards when they are afraid and threatened, and it is also beneficial for people to imitate the posture of cats walking backwards. When walking backwards, the toes touch the ground first, try not to make any noise when touching the ground, and the center of gravity moves back to the heel, which is beneficial for venous blood to return from the far end to the near heart direction, more effectively playing the role of the "second heart" of the foot, and is beneficial to circulation. Moreover, when walking backwards, it changes the formula of brain innervation and activates many nerve structures that are not commonly used at ordinary times, which can prevent brain atrophy caused by disuse, and it is best to take a step backwards every time. In addition, often imitating the catwalk of models on the runway can prevent low back pain, gastroptosis, hemorrhoids and swelling of lower limbs caused by standing or walking for a long time. Especially for pregnant women, taking 20 steps every day is good for both themselves and the fetus, which can not only relieve low back pain and keep a good figure, but also reduce the occurrence of constipation and enhance the endurance during delivery. One thing to note is that the speed must not be too fast. At night-cats who fall asleep like cats have many ways of sleeping, such as sleeping on their sides, sleeping on their stomachs, and even sleeping with their backs to the sky. However, after a long period of experimental observation, British feline experts found that most domestic cats sleep on the right side of their bodies with their hind limbs slightly bent. The right forelimb naturally bends to the right side of the body near the head, and the left limb naturally bends down and is slightly straight. This is very similar to the standard sleeping position advocated by Chinese medicine. The sleeping position emphasized by traditional Chinese medicine is "lying like a bow", and its standard posture is: lying on the right side, bending the right leg and straightening the left leg; Bend your right elbow and put your palm under your head; Straighten the left upper limb and put it on the left thigh. It turns out that the sleeping position of cats is actually the standard sleeping position of people. Chinese medicine believes that this sleeping position does not harm the mood. After squatting like a cat, the brain will soon calm down, from excitement to inhibition, and it won't take long to fall asleep. If you are curious, try it tonight! All the above are worth imitating and learning by some cats, but cats also have many shortcomings, such as lethargy (nearly 16 hours a day) and arrogance. Don't be like them!
