“If you don’t take small steps, you won’t be able to reach a thousand miles”. The same is true of the way to maintain your health. Three minutes, just a moment, is very inconspicuous. The following 10 “three minutes” can achieve a healthy lifestyle and keep you away from sub-health and disease. Please keep your health knowledge firmly in your hands!
stay awake for 3 minutes
The middle-aged and old people with high blood pressure and heart disease should not get up in a hurry after waking up. They should stay in bed with their eyes closed for 3 minutes before getting up. This is because at the moment of waking up, the brain is in a state of confusion, the blood is viscous, the brain is hypoxic and ischemic, and it is easy to fall, which is the most dangerous moment.
brush your teeth for 3 minutes
Brushing is to remove the plaque on the outer, inner and occlusal surfaces of teeth. This workload is not small. There are about 80 tooth surfaces to be cleaned.
Always change the position of the toothbrush and slowly rotate it on all the tooth surfaces of each tooth. A toothbrush can only brush 2-3 teeth at a time. Therefore, it is necessary to brush all the teeth for 3 minutes each time.
no more than 3 minutes to go to the toilet
During defecation, the intestinal tract bears a pressure of more than ten to tens of kilograms per square centimeter. Reading or smoking during defecation often leads to long defecation time. If this is often the case, it will cause intestinal mucosa prolapse, leading to habitual constipation, hemorrhoids and other diseases. Therefore, it is best to control the toilet time within 3 minutes.
eat hot and drink cold, 3 minutes apart
When relatives and friends gather for dinner and eat cold drinks immediately after eating hot dishes and drinking hot soup, blood vessels will contract sharply, causing blood pressure to rise, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, experts suggest that if you want to drink a cold drink to quench your thirst after eating hot food, it is best to interval it for 3 minutes to reduce the stimulation to the stomach.
oral and Anal temperature measurement for 3 minutes
Many diseases, especially infectious diseases, often have changes in body temperature. Measuring body temperature is one of self-care skills. Put the oral thermometer under the tongue of the subject, close the mouth, and measure the temperature for 3 minutes.
If the baby or unconsciousness, the anal table can be used to measure temperature, and the time also needs 3 minutes. The time is too short to measure accurately.
after eye drops, press the inner corner of the eye for 3 minutes.
After the eye drops are applied, close your eyes gently and press the inner corners of your eyes with your index finger for 3 minutes. If this is not done, the eyedrops will quickly flow into the lacrimal duct and then into the nasal cavity.
In this way, not only does the liquid medicine stay on the surface of the eyeball for a short time, and the efficacy is not sufficient, but also the liquid medicine flows into the nasal cavity and is easily absorbed by the nasal microvessels, which increases the side effects of the liquid medicine.
boil the water for another 3 minutes
After chlorination of tap water, chlorine interacts with the residual organic matter in the water to form a variety of halogenated hydrocarbons, chloroform and other harmful compounds, which have carcinogenic effects.
Experiments have proved that boiling water for another 3 minutes is a good way to reduce these harmful substances to a safe range. It can be seen that this measure is necessary for people’s daily cancer prevention.
abdominal breathing for 3 minutes every day
Specific method: first slowly inhale through the nostrils. In the process of inhalation, the thorax will lift up and the abdomen will slowly bulge. Then continue to inhale to fill the whole lung with air. At this time, the ribs will lift up and the thorax will expand.
This process generally takes 5-10 seconds, then hold your breath for 5-10 seconds, pause for 2-3 seconds, exhale, and then start a new breath to improve your lung capacity.
angry for no more than 3 minutes
The physiological reaction when angry is very intense, and the secretion is more complex and toxic than any other emotional secretion, so it is difficult for angry people to live a long life. When people are angry, their blood pressure rises instantaneously. People with poor health, especially the elderly, are prone to cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease and myocardial infarction.
Therefore, anger should not exceed 3 minutes. Even if there is anger, it should come and go quickly, vent as soon as possible, and try to maintain emotional stability.
movement interval: 3 minutes
Many people have the experience of being out of breath during exercise. At this time, they should take a little rest. In fact, it only takes 3 minutes for human muscles to complete sufficient energy replenishment.
In this way, the body will not cool down quickly, and sports injuries such as cramps and muscle strains will not occur when exercising again. It is also enough to use this period of time to supplement water and energy, so that muscles can have a proper rest, which can help to exercise for a longer time.
