Dear friends, have you ever spent ** on various supplements and care products for your health, but you still feel physically and mentally exhausted, and your health has not improved much?
So today, I'm going to share with you a few simple and easy health tips to make your body and mind healthier and not spend a penny at all!
Xiao Huang was originally physically strong and never cared about physical health. Until recently, he began to feel a lot of tightness in his chest, his mood was not as cheerful as before, and he even began to have insomnia.
Xiao Huang was worried about whether he had a heart attack and hurried to the hospital for a checkup. The results of the examination made Xiao Huang breathe a sigh of relief, because there was no heart problem. The doctor told him that it was most likely a psychological problem caused by long-term stress and troubles, and advised him to adjust his lifestyle.
So Xiao Huang began to reflect on his lifestyle. He often stayed up late and worked overtime and lacked sleep for a long time; He also likes to eat fast food with high fat and salt, and rarely exercises, which leads to a gradual decline in body function.
In order to solve these problems, Xiao Huang did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on personal trainers and expensive supplements, but the problem still did not fundamentally improve.
It wasn't until one day that Xiao Huang happened to hear an old man talk about some health secrets, including massaging the Jizhong acupoint, washing his face with water and going to bed early, which made Xiao Huang understand that the secret of health is actually hidden in daily life.
Massage the acupoints
The Jizhong acupoint is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples, above the pericardial meridian acupoint. Massaging here when you are depressed can make people more cheerful and happy.
You can take a supine or sitting position, rub the abdomen with the middle finger, and take turns counterclockwise and clockwise for 1-2 minutes, once a day in the morning and once in the evening.
This simple acupressure massage can have the effect of regulating emotions and nourishing the heart.
Wash your face with water
Many people think that washing with water is not clean, and they must use a variety of facial cleansers and skin care products. As everyone knows, ** itself has a natural moisturizing and protective mechanism.
If you overuse skin care products, it will destroy the barrier, resulting in dryness, increased wrinkles, redness, acne and other problems.
You only need to wash your face with warm water every day, which can not only wash away the stains on your face, but also protect the structure of the ** itself to achieve a simple and effective skin care effect.
Go to bed early
Surveys have shown that sleep deprivation can greatly increase the burden on the heart, leading to an increased heart rate and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Get 6-8 hours of sleep a day, ideally between 10-11 p.m. Going to bed early and waking up early can not only reduce the burden on the heart, but also improve immunity, vitality and memory.
Massage the acupoints to regulate emotions, wash your face with water and maintain your face**, and insist on going to bed early to save your heart, these three simple living habits can make people healthier and more energetic. Unlike expensive supplements and skincare products, which only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, they point to an improvement in the lifestyle itself, allowing people to be taken care of at the source. This also coincides with the concept of "prevention first" in Chinese medicine.
Ancient Chinese medicine paid attention to the health preservation principle of "respecting physiology and conforming to nature". For example, acupuncture does not need to take drugs, and it can achieve the purpose of regulating the body and diseases through the stimulation of acupuncture points. This way of adapting to the body's instincts and renewing its self-regulation ability can restore one's health more than relying on external forces to "replenish".
Of course, for long-term health, a few healthy habits alone are not enough.
Next, I will provide you with some more comprehensive suggestions, I hope it will inspire and help you.
Focus on a balanced diet. Eat less junk food that is high in sugar, salt and fat, and increase the proportion of vegetables and fruits. At the same time, don't be too strict about "eating healthy", you should eat some of your favorite foods to relax.
Appropriate aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc., 3-5 times a week, 30 minutes each time. You don't need high-intensity training, just find a form of exercise that suits you and you can stick to it.
Learn to use mindfulness to de-stress. Don't be anxious or avoidant when faced with stress, but accept reality and do what you can do at the moment. At the same time, learn to love yourself and enhance your sense of self-identity and security, which will greatly reduce the effects of stress.
An elderly man shared that he wakes up early every day and goes for a walk around the park, chatting with his neighbors and admiring nature on the way. At noon, I cook a few simple dishes at home, and then watch TV to pass the time. Occasionally, grandchildren come to the house as guests, and the family has a lively meal and chats. Although life is simple, the old man feels that he is quite satisfied and happy like this.
