1, what should I do after soaking my feet?
Soaking feet is a simple and practical fitness method. Now is the era of "every minute counts", you can get the greatest health care in the least time, and soaking your feet is your duty. But do you know that a cup of warm water after soaking your feet is the best way to recover?
First of all, when we soak our feet with hot water, we will find that the blood vessels on our feet will expand and the epidermis of our feet will turn red. This is because when we soak our feet with hot water, it will accelerate the blood circulation of the feet, make more blood flow to the peripheral blood vessels of the lower limbs, and make the blood flow of the brain relatively decrease, thus making people feel sleepy.
Secondly, soaking feet can stimulate acupoints, reflex zones and meridians of the feet. According to medical theory, the foot has reflex zones and acupoints of various organs of the human body, as well as meridians. Many people have done pedicure, and when our feet are crushed, they will feel pain and soreness. This situation basically shows that there is something wrong with our corresponding viscera.
Therefore, when we finish the foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are six main meridians on people's feet, including the end points of three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian) and the beginning points of three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian and kidney meridian), all of which are on the feet. So soaking feet with hot water is equivalent to stimulating these six meridians.
At the same time, because countless nerve endings on the soles of the feet are closely connected with the brain, the warm stimulation of hot water on the nerve endings on the feet can inhibit the cerebral cortex and make people feel comfortable and relaxed in the brain, thus speeding up sleep and deepening sleep.
2. The choice of water is very important
1, warm water or cold water
But after a day's hard work, there will still be some damage or toxin accumulation inside the body. At this time, you need a glass of water to ease your "crisis". So what kind of water is better?
At this time, it is best to drink water, which is the same as room temperature, so as to minimize the irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. According to research, boiled water cooled to 20℃ ~ 25℃ is the best choice, because it contains active organisms, which can accelerate metabolism through cell membrane and enhance human immune function.
People who are used to drinking warm or cold boiled water have good metabolism, less lactic acid accumulation in muscle tissue, and are not easy to feel tired, and calcium and magnesium in boiled water are very beneficial to the body.
2. Salt water
Many people think that drinking light salt water is good for health, so drinking light salt water is wrong. According to research, people may be short of water during the day, but breathing, perspiration and urination are still going on, and these physiological activities consume a lot of water. Drinking some boiled water can quickly dilute the blood and correct hypertonic dehydration during the day. On the contrary, drinking salt water will aggravate hypertonic dehydration and make people more thirsty.
Step 3 drink
Some people are particularly willful and like to choose according to their own preferences. For example, drinking a glass of juice is both thirst-quenching and nutritious. In fact, drinking fruit juice at this time can't provide the water the body needs at this time, and it is not good for health to let the gastrointestinal tract work in a state of water shortage.
If you drink juice, cola, soda, etc. It is even more wrong to sell it in the market at this time. Carbonated drinks such as soda and cola will accelerate the excretion of calcium. At this time, drinking can not only effectively supplement the water shortage in the body, but also increase the body's demand for water, which will cause water shortage in the body.
Water is the best medicine.
Ask everyone, do you know the water in your body? Do you know what diseases can be caused by lack of water? Do you know that many chronic diseases can be cured by water alone?
Perhaps, you have suffered from arthritis, allergies and high blood pressure for many years; Maybe you have asthma, diabetes or inflammatory pain. Authoritative proof: you are not sick, just thirsty!
If we understand the concrete operation of water in human body, we will suddenly realize that our medical concept will be completely changed. We will be surprised to find that the cause of many diseases is simply: lack of water in the body.
However, it is incredible that people often make a most basic and disastrous mistake: when the body is in urgent need of water, we give it tea, coffee, wine or industrialized carbonated drinks, which not only contain a lot of water, but also contain some substances beneficial to the body.
At the same time, we can't deny that tea, coffee, wine or industrialized carbonated drinks contain a lot of dehydration factors. After these dehydration factors enter the body, not only the water entering the body is quickly discharged, but also the water stored in the body is taken away.
This is why the more we drink tea, beer and coffee, the more we want to pee. On the one hand, our bodies are in urgent need of water, making a thirsty call; On the one hand, we use tea, coffee, wine or industrialized carbonated drinks to fool our thirst, but we don't really meet our urgent need for water. Over time, the metabolic function of water will be disordered. Once the metabolic function is disordered and some areas of the body are short of water, the signal it sends is not only thirst, but also shows much more symptoms than "dry mouth"
4. How to keep healthy
1, no snoring sleep, healthier heart.
A study of 18 in Singapore found that people who don't snore during sleep live three times longer than those who snore. This is not alarmist, because snoring is not only a noise caused by respiratory obstruction during sleep, but also an early warning signal of hypertension, myocardial infarction and arrhythmia.
Therefore, when there is serious snoring, don't simply stop it, but ask the doctor for help, find out the ultimate cause and resolve the possible cardiovascular and cerebrovascular crisis.
Use your left hand to make your brain more active.
Active thinking slows down the aging of the body. We are used to doing things with our right hand and thinking with our right brain, which leads to uneven development of the left and right brains, thus affecting the activity of the whole brain.
So, from now on, please improve the utilization rate of your left hand. The easiest way is to put all the office supplies you need, such as printer, telephone and paper, on your left side, and try to hold chopsticks with your left hand when eating, so as to gradually bring into play the activity of your left brain thinking.
3. Adapt to cold air and protect body energy with low temperature.
American biologists put forward the theory of "longevity at low temperature" through experiments-if the body temperature can be lowered by 2℃~3.5℃, the average life span of human body can be extended from 70 years old to 150 years old. Because when the body temperature drops, the release of life energy will slow down, thus reducing the loss of visceral function and naturally extending the "service life" of the body.
Getting up at 4.7: 30 is the best way to calm your heart.
We should break the idea that getting up early helps to live longer. Because, recently, health experts in university of westminster pointed out that people who get up at 5: 22 ~ 7: 2 1 in the morning will have an increase in the content of substances that cause heart disease. For health and longevity, the real time to get up is 7: 30. At this time, the body has made a smooth transition, has been out of fatigue, and the blood is in a normal circulation state.
So if you are used to getting up early, please make yourself lazy, set the alarm clock at 7: 30 and get up at the healthiest moment!
5, the toothbrush does not touch water, and the teeth are healthier.
When brushing teeth, many people are used to dipping their toothbrushes in water first, and then squeezing toothpaste to brush their teeth. But this will dilute the effective ingredients in toothpaste, and the amount of toothpaste really used to clean the mouth will be reduced. However, oral disinfection is not thorough, and diseases are easy to enter the oral cavity.
Therefore, when brushing your teeth, be sure to keep your toothbrush insulated from water! In addition, many people like to rinse their mouths only once after brushing their teeth, which is also a health misunderstanding. There will be secondary pollution in the mouth. It is best to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth three times at a time to remove bacteria in your mouth at any time.
Conclusion: I finally understand the reason why our bodies are in crisis. Water has the title of "the source of life", which seems to have some truth. It is very important to correctly understand the existence and importance of water. Drink more water, not only for soaking feet, but also for our health.
5, Chili foot bath matters
1. Soaking feet with Chili water is not suitable for a long time. If you feel that the original symptoms have disappeared, you should stop for a few days and come back when the symptoms are insufficient. Otherwise, there may be phenomena such as "insufficient breath" and "incompatibility between water and fire" mentioned in ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine.
2, people with symptoms of yin deficiency, in the process of soaking feet with Chili water, should pay attention to timely yin, especially in winter. Because soaking feet with Chili water has the functions of dredging meridians, dispelling cold and promoting digestion, and sweating will occur in this process, it feels as "dry" as other yang-tonifying drugs, especially those with symptoms of yin deficiency. Soaking feet with Chili water should be combined with nourishing yin, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms of yin deficiency.
3, it is best to soak your feet while accompanying your hands, or massage your feet with your hands, which is better.
