Just as small details in life will surprise you, some small changes will also add points to your health. The “MSN health” website in the United States recently recommended 25 changes to reduce illness, so as to lay a good foundation for your health in the new year.
1. Eat mushrooms every day Dr. Joel fulman, author of the American health bestseller super immunity, pointed out that mushrooms can improve immunity, resist microbial invasion, help the human body clear abnormal cells, and have anti-cancer effects. The study found that eating 10 grams of mushrooms every day, equivalent to one mushroom, reduced the risk of breast cancer in women by 64%.
2. Drink mineral water the latest research found that drinking mineral water rich in silicon can help us remove the neurotoxin aluminum in our bodies. Aluminum has been proven to cause brain atrophy and easily lead to cognitive impairment. Research points out that drinking 1 liter of mineral water every day for 12 consecutive weeks can effectively reduce the aluminum content in the body.
3. Cultivate gratitude our mood is easily threatened by the dissatisfaction in life. Dr. Eric wood, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Manchester, said that since the problem itself can’t be avoided, you may as well find happiness from those things that make you happy recently, such as a birthday card sent by a good friend, an encouragement given to you by a colleague, etc. Learn to be grateful for others’ contributions, and your performance will be more positive.
4. Exercise for 10 minutes every hour research has found that even one hour of exercise every day can not combat the harm brought by sedentary. Regular fitness at a fixed time is more important. It is recommended that sedentary people exercise for 10 minutes every hour. There are various forms of exercise, such as walking, stretching, squatting, etc., or standing to answer the phone, watch the computer, and think about problems at work.
5. Don’t let Weibo and wechat tie you down A Research Report from the University of Edinburgh in the UK said that social networking sites are easy to make people anxious, and communicating with company leaders and colleagues on social networks will bring more pressure. It is recommended that you leave yourself a “no network” time every day, quit Weibo and wechat, and communicate face to face with friends.
6. Keep a diet diary Cynthia sass, M.D., said that only by recording the type and quantity of food you eat every day can you find out what problems your diet has. A survey involving 1600 people found that those who kept records seven days a week would lose 20% of their weight compared with those who did not.
7. Call your mother when you are anxious a study by the University of Wisconsin Madison found that hearing your mother’s voice when you are nervous and anxious can reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol and promote the release of happiness hormone. Researchers say that comfort from mothers is as warm as a hug.
8. Watch comedy a study published in the journal Psychological Science found that laughter can reduce stress in an instant. When you feel depressed, you may as well have a look at the funny performances and funny talk shows of dogs to make yourself laugh and make them a “booster” for a good mood.
9. Eat snacks with another hand a study by the University of Southern California found that when watching a movie, those who were told that they could only eat popcorn with “unaccustomed hands” (for example, if they were used to using their right hands, their left hands were “unaccustomed hands”). The amount of popcorn they ate would be reduced by 30%. Eating snacks with another hand would slow down the speed of eating and unknowingly reduce the intake of junk food.
10. Don’t procrastinate “procrastination is harmful to health.” Dr. Lombardo, the author of “happier you”, said that a study found that college students who are always late will have a decline in their immune system function, have gastrointestinal problems, and are more prone to insomnia. In addition, procrastination can also lead to negative emotions such as anxiety, worry and depression.
11. Write yourself a letter Lombardo said that resentment is a huge source of bad emotions, which may lead to anger, despair and helplessness, which can induce problems such as blood pressure, abnormal heart rate, abdominal pain and back pain. We should try to learn to forgive and forget. We might as well try to write a letter to ourselves or others. Even if we don’t send it, we can drive the resentment out of our hearts.
12. You should also say less white lies honesty is the best quality. A new study from Notre Dame University in the United States found that when you are hesitant to tell a lie, even a white lie, telling the truth can make you healthier. Researchers say this is because lying less can help you win more trust and build closer relationships. Researchers say it is better to tell fewer than three lies every day.
13. Help others “people who take the initiative to help others are more confident and happy, and also healthier and live longer.” Lombardo said that helping others can improve your self-worth and enjoy more meaning in life. Doing small things at will, such as opening the door for others and giving up your seat on the bus, can bring you happiness.
14. Breathe deeply 21 times a day studies have found that deep breathing can effectively reduce anxiety, fatigue, muscle soreness, headache and other adverse symptoms, help reduce blood pressure, protect the heart and improve immunity. You can set three time points on your mobile phone according to the actual situation, such as when you are anxious at work at 10 a.m., when you are tired and sleepy at two or three o’clock in the afternoon, and before you go to bed, take at least seven deep breaths each time. When doing this, put your hand above your navel to feel the inhalation and expansion of your abdomen.
