I don't know what you will do before going to bed at night? Is it to hold the screen and swipe **, or take a hot bath, or drink a cup of hot water to warm up? In fact, when it comes to the 15 to 30 minutes before bedtime, it has always been an excellent time to maintain health.
Therefore, if we are good at using this time node to do something right that can make the body comfortable and even recuperate health, it will naturally be better, so this article will give you an inventory today, which things are best to do before going to bed; And what things should not be done before bed.
The first thing: drinking alcohol to help you sleep
Even though people can achieve the effect of rapid sleep after ingesting a sufficient amount of alcohol, the sleep caused by alcohol is often only temporary, that is, although alcohol can ensure that people can fall asleep, it cannot maintain the quality of sleep in a suitable state, and during the period, due to the liver and kidney to intensify the decomposition and excretion of alcohol, people are likely to wake up suddenly in their sleep.
And when a person wakes up, it will be very difficult to try to sleep again; In addition, the sleep brought by alcohol is often mainly light sleep, and it is almost impossible to sleep deeply, so when the body has been in a state of light sleep, it is naturally difficult to get enough rest, so that after waking up, you will feel extremely tired.
The second piece: the bath water is too hot
For many southerners, if they don't take a shower before going to bed at night, they may feel greasy and sticky when they sleep, and it may be difficult to really fall asleep.
However, although taking a bath before going to bed can make people get rid of greasy and other bad feelings, if the water temperature is too hot, beyond the range of 42 degrees, then the body surface of the body will rise in temperature, which will inhibit the brain to effectively secrete melatonin, so that when the human body lacks the hormone of melatonin, not only the quality of sleep can not be guaranteed, but also it will be much more difficult to fall asleep, so it is recommended that people should take a comfortable hot bath about 2 hours before going to bed.
The third thing: still think before bedtime
I don't know if you have thought about what you have experienced in the day before going to bed, or always worrying about the bed because of what you are worried about, if so, then you should pay attention, because thinking about things before going to bed often can't let yourself really connect or understand a certain point, and it is easy to let yourself be overly immersed in your own emotions, and then slowly become excited, negative, and eventually make the quality of sleep seriously decline.
Therefore, if you have the habit of recalling before going to bed, or thinking about problems before going to bed, then you really need to quit it, or move such problems to solve them earlier, so as to ensure your sleep quality and time.
First: go to bed early
Many people may think it is strange and funny to see the point of going to bed early, but after calming down, everyone asks yourself, have you slept after 11 o'clock for one less night? Maybe it's acceptable to stay up late once in a while and get through one or two points once in a while, but if you develop the habit of staying up late for a long time, then weight, hair, ** and other indicators of the body may have health risks one by one.
But when it comes to going to bed early, in fact, the time to fall asleep is different for each age group, among which infants and toddlers may have to go to 8 o'clock early to ensure that they get more than 10 hours of sleep; If you are an adult, you should fall asleep between nine and ten o'clock; But if the character is an old man, there is no need to pay too much attention to sleep, because the sleep duration of the elderly is at the bottom of the three age groups, and only need to ensure about 6 hours of sleep.
Second: hydrate
If you can drink half a glass of water before **, the benefits can be said to be very many, because first of all, people are very easy to lose water when they are asleep, which makes people's blood during sleep more viscous than when they are awake; And it's spring, so if you drink water before going to bed, you can moisturize your respiratory tract and make your breathing state smoother.
However, a glass of water before going to bed has many benefits, but it is also necessary to pay attention to 3 details, that is, in terms of water temperature, warm water should be preferred, so as to avoid irritating the stomach and intestines and causing unnecessary negative reactions; Then the amount of water should not exceed half a cup, specifically 200 ml, so as not to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet; Finally, drinking water should be finished half an hour earlier, and if it is too late, I am afraid that there is a risk of getting up at night.
And if you feel irritable and can't sleep in the spring, you might as well add a spoonful of sour jujube kernels to warm water to soak in water, if you feel troublesome, then you can try this sour jujube kernel paste at home.
In this sour jujube kernel paste, in addition to the sour jujube kernel that has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, there are also yellow essence and mulberry that can nourish yin and nourish the kidney, and if the kidney yin and kidney water are raised, they can further restrain the heart fire, so that the kidney qi gathers upward, the heart qi sinks down, and the quality of sleep naturally improves.
In addition, the reason for the poor sleep quality of many people also lies in excessive sadness and thinking, there is a saying: "thinking hurts the spleen, qi and blood consumption", so based on this consideration, our family's sour jujube kernel also added longan and jujube that have the effect of tonifying the heart and spleen, inflating blood and eating, and then added lilies and lotus seeds that can supplement the lung yin and make Zhi Anning, and finally with the spleen and dampness of Poria cocos, a cup of belly, tonight's sleep is naturally no longer a problem.
Next: Soak your feet
In autumn and winter, many people will inevitably have cold limbs before **, and even if the torso is slightly warmer, the cold under the feet is often still not relieved, so we need to use foot soaking to expel the cold that resides in the feet.
Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for foot soaking water is about 40 44, the water surface is about 2 3 cm above the ankle, the time is controlled at 15 20 minutes, and it is advisable to sweat slightly. Rub your back with both hands while soaking your feet for a better effect. After soaking, rub the spring in the soles of your feet to nourish the kidney water, and replenish the yang without getting on fire.
In addition, if you can add some material in the water, it is naturally the best, as for what to add, first of all, you can add pepper, pepper "warm and spicy, return to the spleen meridian, lung meridian and kidney meridian", so soak the feet with it, it can help the body warm meridians, remove moisture, the specific bubble method is to 50 grams of pepper as the degree, first put it into the cotton bag, and then put it into the foot basin, soak once the pepper bag, and then you can reuse it two or three times.
The second is to add vinegar, about vinegar, the ancients believed that vinegar "is warm, sour in taste, bitter, attributed to the liver, stomach meridian"; Because acetic acid also has astringent sexual effects, soaking your feet can regulate the nervous spirit during the day, so as to reduce pressure for the body and help you sleep.
Finally, it can also be paired with warm bile soup to speed up the process of dispelling dampness and strengthening the spleen; The so-called warm bile soup first began in Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Fang" in the Tang Dynasty. If you feel that you have trouble matching, there are also ready-made foot soaking bags, according to Dr. Luo Dalun's warm bile soup recipe, these herbs are ground and crushed, and put into a non-woven bag, after dismantling, the herbal particles are clearly visible, and the herb taste is rich.
Specifically, in terms of materials, the warm bile soup is not basically proportioned with Banxia, Zhuru, Citrus aurantium, Poria cocos, and tangerine peel, and the functions of these materials are roughly as follows:
Banxia: Xinwen opens depression, reduces dryness and dissolves phlegm, so that the depression in the body can be released.
Citrus aurantium with tangerine peel: feasible qi and stomach, stagnation of qi, relaxed physique.
Poria cocos: The main operation is moist, so that the human mind can be peaceful and peaceful.
Zhuru: It can clean up the floating fire, so that people will not damage the yang and turn the yin, and make the spleen and stomach comfortable.
Don't look at the warm bile soup biased towards pharmacology, it seems that it must be taken orally, but in fact, the warm bile soup is used to soak the feet, the effect is not lost at all, the principle is mainly because the warm bile soup can use the human body's qi to have a downward trend, and combined with the moisture is also the reason for downward circulation, so you can use the banxia, citrus aurantium, and bamboo ru in the soup to promote the right lung qi, bile qi, and stomach qi to go down together, and then use poria cocos, licorice, and tangerine peel to achieve the effect of tonifying and nourishing qi, dry soil and dampness, so as to help the spleen rise to the left. Therefore, in this way, the three focal points of the human body are also opened.
Brewing tips: First, boil the prepared herbs over high heat, so that the medicinal power of these herbs can be dissipated in the water, which is conducive to the absorption of our feet. Finally: Pour the boiled water and herbs into the foot soaking bucket and control the foot soaking time to 15 minutes.
Finally: comb your hairPurchase.
And you don't have to open it when soaking, just put this non-woven bag into the pot and boil, the same method as the above, pour it into the foot soaking bucket together with the foot soaking bag and water after cooking, so that it is more convenient for us to clean the foot soaking bucket after soaking. The phlegm and dampness in the body are very heavy, so soak once in the morning and once in the evening, of course, it is best to choose to soak before going to bed, and the water temperature can be controlled at about 45.
The reason why it is recommended to comb your hair before going to bed is that the action of combing your hair itself can not only dredge the meridians and make the body activate blood and remove blood stasis, but also stimulate the head, so that the state of scalp blood circulation becomes better, and then the texture of the hair is improved.
In addition, according to the traditional health theory, as the "head of the sun", the head contains more than 40 important body reaction points, so the benefits and improvements that a small comb can bring can be said to be visible to the naked eye; But if you want to comb well and comb correctly, you may not be able to really achieve it by relying on a single comb brush.
The correct conditioning type comb should be used with fingers and combs, starting from the middle of the forehead, and then slowly going to the top of the head, the back of the head, and finally the neck comb, and so on in the middle, you can comb both sides again, in turn, although the action is small, but the speed must be slightly faster, the average comb is about 50 100 times, it can be completed.
