Can suppressing yawning also hurt?

In daily life, many people are busy with work, often neglect some small details of life, and develop some bad habits, which will bring certain hidden dangers to our health. So we need to get rid of bad habits in daily life. Today, Xiaobian will introduce 13 bad habits in daily life. Have you been caught?

suppress yawning

Yawning is a physiological phenomenon with positive significance, and forced inhibition is not appropriate. When the body feels tired or sleepy, it can’t help yawning a few times. This is a signal that you need a rest or a new environment.

After watching movies or TV, people often yawn, which is a kind of self-regulation to return to reality from the plots of movies or TV. After getting up in the morning or after sitting for a long time, we should wake up quickly and refresh ourselves. If you are sleepy or yawn before falling asleep, it indicates that the activity of the cerebral cortex will enter a suppressed state. Yawning results in relaxation.

This is not only because of the increase of oxygen inhaled when yawning, but also because of the enhancement of the expansion and contraction activities of the head, chest and other parts of the body, which improves the circulatory system. It can be seen that yawning is beneficial to the body. As long as it is not in public or in a serious and formal occasion, you can yawn naturally without suppressing it.

suppress sighs

Generally speaking, sighing is a negative and pessimistic expression, so many people always suppress sighing. However, from the perspective of physiology and psychology, it is beneficial to health to sigh when encountering difficulties and having no choice.

When people are frustrated, sad and worried, they will feel boundless after sighing; When people are in fear and melancholy, sighing has a calming effect; When people are nervous or tired at work, sighing can relax their spirit. When sighing, different sounds will have different effects. For example, spitting out the word “Xu” to nourish the liver, spitting out the word “Ho” to meditate, spitting out the word “Hu” to strengthen the spleen, and spitting out the word “sprinkle” to clear the lungs. But you should pay attention to letting things go when you inhale and exhale.

read books and newspapers while using the toilet

Some people are used to taking a newspaper or a book while going to the toilet, and squatting for a long time. This method has fewer advantages and more disadvantages. Reading newspapers and magazines while going to the toilet will not only inhibit the consciousness of defecation, but also interfere with the brain’s command of defecation conduction nerves and prolong the time of defecation.

If you squat in the toilet for too long, the pelvic venous blood flow will be blocked, the blood vessels will expand, and hemorrhoids will be easily induced; It even lost the sensitivity of the rectum to fecal irritation, which will cause constipation over time. Squatting in the toilet for too long will also lead to a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, and syncope and falls are easy to occur when standing up, especially for those who are chronically ill, weak and old.

In addition, the toilet is generally dark and light is insufficient. Reading books and newspapers there is also harmful to eye health care. Cultivate regular defecation every day. The time to go to the toilet should not be too long. In particular, you should avoid reading books and newspapers during the time to go to the toilet. Even if you have difficulty in defecating, you should not squat for a long time.

sit on the sofa and read books for a long time

Some people like to read on the sofa, thinking that it is comfortable and can read and study for a long time, and it is not easy to get tired. It is not bad to do this for a short time, but it is inappropriate and harmful to people’s health to do so for a long time.

The seat of the sofa is very low and flexible. When people sit on it, their arms will sink and their back muscles will be elongated at the back of the pelvis. If they hold the book high in their hands, their backs, necks and eyes will be comfortable, but their arms will not last long, and they will inevitably sag. This will cause their eyes to look down. As time goes on, their lower eye muscles will be tired.

If you straighten up and read with your head down, the back muscles will be stretched in the neck due to the gravity of the head. The same muscle has been elongated in the pelvis and then in the neck. If it is elongated for a long time, people will inevitably feel lumbago and neck pain, and it is easy to get cervical related diseases. Therefore, it is not appropriate to sit on the sofa for a long time to read, let alone develop the habit of often sitting on the sofa to read.
