Traditional Chinese medicine advocates "the order of the day" and grasping the rhythm.
The three key points of the day are early rising, after meals and before bed.
At each of these points, there are tips for health care that require special attention.
Confucian wind June specially summarized them, so that you can easily master them.
Don't get up early
Early rising is the time when the human body resumes functioning from sleep, there are three don'ts.
1, do not get up violently
The human body is in a chaotic state after a night of rest.
During sleep, blood flow will slow down and blood viscosity is higher.
Get up violently, easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain.
This can cause dizziness, blurred vision and other discomforts, and even induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The "cultivation of the age to guide" said: "first wake up the heart, then wake up the eyes, two hands rubbed hot, ironing eyes several times, eyes left, right turn each nine times, the group lived for a short time, suddenly open wide, in addition to the wind and fire."
Before getting up, lie flat on the bed, rub your hands together and cover your eyes with the palms of your hands.
Repeat this several times, and then turn your eyes, open them and get up.
Doing so can effectively protect the facial nerve and avoid the stimulation of cold wind.
2, do not hold urine and stool
The two stools regular, is a significant sign of the normal functioning of the human qi.
People with regular diet and good health will generally have the urge to stool in the morning immediately after waking up.
Morning bowel movements, do not hold, should be discharged as soon as possible.
Drinking a glass of plain water after getting up not only helps moisten the intestines, soften the stool and help detoxify the body.
It can dilute the blood and prevent the formation of blood clots.
3, do not cope with breakfast
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "The stomach, the sea of the five viscera and six internal organs."
In the morning when the stomach meridian, is the easiest time to digest and absorb food.
Do not eat breakfast, the stomach will air turn, the five organs and six internal organs are damaged.
After the body detoxification, more timely supplementation of nutrition.
Therefore, the time of breakfast can not be delayed, the portion can not be small, the meal can not be rushed.
Get up half an hour early and sit down at the table to eat a breakfast in peace and quiet.
With adequate nutrition, in order to better support the day's work, learning.
After the meal three not anxious
After the meal, is the absorption of nutrients "golden time", there are three not urgent.
1, not in a hurry to lie down
Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, said: "full of food is lying down, is born a hundred diseases."
Just eat a full meal to lie down, food in the abdomen before digestion, accumulation and stagnation is born disease.
Lao Lao Heng Yan" said: "After the meal food stop stomach, must slow down a few hundred steps.
Dispersing its gas to lose in the spleen, it is easy to grind the stomach to decay."
After a meal, it is advisable to carry out soothing activities to give the spleen and stomach time to buffer.
At the same time with the palm around the navel, clockwise and counterclockwise massage alternately.
It is conducive to promoting the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and speeding up the digestion of food.
2, not in a hurry to take a bath
Just eat a full meal, the stomach and intestines still have a lot of undigested food.
Bathing immediately after a meal, the blood flow on the body surface will increase with the rise in temperature.
The blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract will be relatively reduced.
The digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract will be weakened, easily causing indigestion, abdominal distension and other diseases.
So it is better to rest 1~2 hours after eating and then take a bath.
3, not in a hurry to drink tea
Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "tea bitter and cold, the yin of the yin.
Drinking both for a long time, the spleen and stomach vicious cold, dark loss of vitality, into phlegm."
Many people have the habit of drinking tea after meals, think strong tea to oil and grease, to help eliminate food.
Tea contains a large number of acidic substances, can be combined with food such as iron and zinc into insoluble substances, which leads to these nutrients difficult to be absorbed by the body.
Drink tea immediately after meals, not only affect the digestion and absorption of food, but also easy to cause stones, constipation.
Bedtime three should not
Before going to bed, is the body and the spirit of the key moment of rest, there are three should not.
1, should not exercise
The "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" says: "into the yin is sleep, Yang out of the yin is awake."
The night is supposed to be the time for Yang to converge and Yin to move up.
In order to sleep well, the body's Yang should sink into Yin.
Strenuous exercise before going to bed will cause Yang to be hyperactive and Yin to be deficient.
The imbalance between the body's yin and yang, which will lead to restlessness at night.
2, should not snack
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "The stomach is not and restless."
Eating too much food before bedtime is likely to produce esophageal reflux, gastric distention and acid reflux, and problems with sleep.
Night activity is small, less energy consumption, eat too much is easy to lead to fat accumulation, causing obesity, hyperlipidemia, etc..
Dinner should not be more than eight, choose light and easy to digest food, eat seven minutes full enough.
3, should not think about
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "Quiet is God hidden, mania is extinction."
The daytime overuse of the brain, and do not pay attention to nourishing the gods, most likely insomnia.
If you don't keep your mind inside, it will consume your energy and blood, disrupt your yin and yang, and damage your internal organs.
To ensure the quality of sleep, not only to let the body get rest, but also to let the spirit back to calm.
Before going to bed to exclude distractions, meditate for a while, which is very helpful for the recovery of mental and physical strength.
