Weather changes, meridian swelling

The weather in spring is changeable, and people are prone to various discomfort symptoms, especially the elderly with weak constitution. When the seasons alternate, we must pay attention to some habits of daily life to avoid suffering from various diseases.

1. It is easy to get sick when sleeping with wet hair.

Many people go to bed after taking a shower at night and their hair is not completely dry, which is very harmful, especially in summer. It turns out that the human body consumes a lot of energy and it is easy to feel tired. At midnight, the disease resistance is very poor. If you wash your hair before going to bed, water will stay on your scalp, which will condense the yang in your head and prevent colds. In the long run, it may also lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis or meridian obstruction.

If you go to sleep in an air-conditioned room immediately after washing your hair and blow your head against the cold wind, your scalp will be colder and wetter and you will get sick easily. Even if you sleep in the middle of the night, you will feel local scalp stagflation and numbness, accompanied by dull pain, and you will have a headache the next morning. Over time, it may also lead to a disease called "phlebitis under the scalp", which brings great hidden dangers to health.

2. It is not advisable to fall asleep after morning exercise.

Many elderly people will get up early and do morning exercises, and then go home to sleep after exercise. In fact, judging from the changes of negative ions in the air, the concentration of negative ions is high in the morning and the air is fresh. Getting up early in the morning, running, walking or practicing boxing outdoors is good for your health. Negative ions have a certain therapeutic effect on chronic diseases such as bronchitis, cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases and diabetes. However, some people like to go back to the bedroom to undress and sleep after morning exercise. They think it will supplement their physical strength and make them energetic. Actually, this is not good. It not only affects the effect of morning exercise, but also is not conducive to health care.

During morning exercise, breathing is accelerated, heart rate is accelerated, and cardiopulmonary function is enhanced, which is conducive to reducing the occurrence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, emphysema and other diseases. If you fall asleep again at this time, you will catch a cold easily. In addition, the metabolites produced by morning exercises, such as lactic acid, are not easy to eliminate.

3. Stretch more in the morning.

After a night's sleep, my body relaxed and my blood circulation was slow. When you wake up, you always feel dull and weak. Get up in the morning, stretch your limbs, stretch your waist and abdomen, and exert all your muscles. With deep breathing, you can exhale old breath and accept new breath, promote blood circulation, dredge meridians and joints, and boost your spirit. Therefore, it is recommended to get up early in spring and stretch your waist more.

adequate sleep

Experts suggest that for people who sleep for 7 hours, the normal time to get up early in spring should be 4-6 am; For people who sleep for 8 hours, the normal time to get up early should be 5-7 am to adapt to the natural atmosphere. Of course, "late at night" cannot exceed 1 1 pm at the latest. It is easy to get sleepy in spring, and sleep itself is poor. It is easy to produce depression and lead to depression. In depression, it is difficult to respond directly to insomnia. Therefore, when people are in a good mood, they should develop good sleep habits and ensure adequate sleep.

Get more sunshine.

Spring sunshine is a natural "stimulant", which can cheer up the spirit and improve depression. The sunshine in spring is also a natural "nutrient". If you get enough sunbathing every day, you can get 90% of the vitamin D you need. Spring sunshine is also a natural "disinfectant", which can kill bacteria on the skin, accelerate blood circulation, promote metabolism, and achieve the functions of soothing the liver and dredging collaterals.

The best time to sunbathe

The best time for sunbathing in spring is from 10 to 2-3 pm. Among them, from 10 to 1 1 in the morning, the air is good, the ultraviolet rays are low, and the sunshine is warm and soft. At this time, outdoor "sunbathing" is the most suitable, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Old people are especially suitable for sunbathing at this time. At this time, women's yoga training can let sunshine enter the body through calm and gentle movements, making the body full of vitality and the mind calm and comfortable. Maintain 20-30 minutes of sunshine every day.

(2) Try to keep your skin bare.

If you want to bask in the sun, you'd better stay naked. Women who love beauty can apply sunscreen to their faces after a long period of sun exposure. In spring, you only need to avoid the noon when ultraviolet rays are strongest, and get in full contact with the sun during the rest time. Ultraviolet rays can disinfect your skin and are good for your health.

In addition, pay attention to sun protection, don't look directly at the sun, you can turn your back on the sun. Sunlight is the time to enjoy nature, but it does nothing through the glass sunshine!
