Sleeping is something we have to do every day. What little habits will you have after waking up? Get up in the morning and form the following five habits, which can promote physical and mental health and prolong life!
1. Get up slowly
You can’t get up after waking up, especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or the elderly. Because when you wake up, your blood pressure changes greatly; If you wake up too fast, the change of body position can cause more drastic fluctuations in blood pressure, which is easy to induce cerebrovascular accidents. Therefore, unless there is an emergency, you should lie flat for 1-2 minutes first.
2. Rubbing face
After opening Xingsong’s sleepy eyes in the morning, many people are used to rubbing their eyelids with the back of their hands, which is beneficial to sobering their minds. But this is not enough. After rubbing your eyes, you may as well rub your face with your hands. It is best to rub the “Yingxiang acupoint” beside the two nostrils with the middle fingers of both hands for several times at the same time. Then rub it up to the forehead, then separate it to both sides, and rub it down along both cheeks until it meets the buccal tip.
3. Overlook the distance
After you get up, you can stand in front of the window or on the balcony, look straight at your eyes, look East first, then turn around and look west, then look south and North, and finally end up looking east. When looking around, you’d better stay high. It takes about 5 minutes.
4. Comb your hair
Sit on the bed and comb. Comb it from the forehead to the occipital part, from the temporal sides to the top of the head, and repeatedly finger comb it dozens of times. It can improve the blood nutrition supply of the hair root of the head, reduce hair loss, white hair, promote dark and bright hair, and have the benefit of refreshing the brain and lowering blood pressure.
5. Turning the waist and strengthening the kidney
After getting up, it is not appropriate to exercise immediately, but to make some preparatory movements first. You can twist your waist. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the development, growth and aging process of people are all controlled by the five internal organs, of which the kidney plays a role. In the upright posture, the waist plays a pivotal role in gravity transmission. Twisting the waist can stimulate Mingmen, Shenshu and other acupoints, which has the effect of strengthening the waist and kidney.
