Health preservation, happy life, here is the health broadcast machine, I am a health expert, and I will take you to keep healthy with science!

In ancient China, although science and technology were not as developed as they are now, our ancestors left us a lot of valuable property.

We all know that people spend about 1/3 of their life in sleep, so sleep is very important to the health of the body, and sleep is also the simplest and most effective way to maintain health.

Our ancestors summed up a lot of experience, so they left behind such sayings as "people sleep three times, life is thinner than paper" and "sleeping with feet facing west", so are these sayings really credible?

day and night reversal

Nature has certain rules, so according to nature’s health-preserving rules, people should work during the day and sleep at night, which can well maintain the detoxification and metabolism of various internal organs of the body, maintain the balance of hormone secretion, and ensure the health of the body .

But if the day and night are reversed, it is very beneficial to the health of the body. You can't sleep well during the day, and if you work at night, you will be too tired. Therefore, if you want to achieve a healthy and long life, it is best Follow the laws of nature.

go to bed immediately after a meal

After a person has just finished eating, most of the blood will be concentrated in the person's intestines and stomach, so as to ensure the body's digestion and absorption.

But if you go to bed immediately at this time, it will seriously affect people's digestion and absorption functions. If this is the case for a long time, various gastrointestinal diseases are likely to occur, which will affect the health of the body.

And if you are sleeping at this time, it will also affect the quality of sleep, especially at night. It is recommended to take a walk after a 15-minute rest after eating, which is more conducive to health and longevity.

sleep in

China generally recognizes that the best time to wake up is 6:00 in the morning, because at this time the yang energy grows and the body gets enough rest. If you can develop a good habit of getting up around 6:00, you can greatly improve your work efficiency.

However, many people have developed a good habit of sleeping late, sometimes sleeping until seven or eight o'clock or even ninety o'clock, so that they may become lazier and more tired when they sleep, and it is not good for their health.

The ancient Chinese also left us with a saying, don't sleep with your feet facing west, why do you say that? In fact, this also has a certain scientific basis.

We all know that the earth is also a huge magnet, which will generate a lot of magnetic fields. The north and south poles of the earth are two electrodes, and our body also belongs to the biological weak magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field is from the head to the feet, so our body is the most It is best to conform to the Earth's magnetic field.

If a person is in the north-south direction, the magnetic field of the earth coincides with that of our body, which is more conducive to improving the quality of sleep and ensuring the health of the body.

Therefore, sleep is very important to the health of the body. Our ancestors left us with many useful words of wisdom, which are very well-founded. I hope you will pay attention to them.
