The plan of the year depends on the spring, and the plan of the day depends on the morning. The time after getting up in the morning is a critical period for health preservation. Doing what you need to do during this time can make your body healthier physically and mentally.

Since ancient times, people's pursuit of longevity and longevity has never stopped. From birth to death, people are often full of fear of it, and therefore they have come up with countless methods to slow down their aging.

Although aging is an irreversible physiological phenomenon, people are also trying to find ways to delay aging, especially as everyone's awareness of health preservation has increased a lot.

In practice, people have found that after getting up in the morning, after a night of rest, the body's organs and tissues begin to wake up. At this time, doing more health-preserving things is beneficial to physical health and can effectively delay the speed of aging.

What can I do after waking up to be healthy?

1. Wake up and drink water

I believe that many people have heard the topic of health preservation, and many health preservation topics will mention that drinking a glass of water after waking up is a good thing. Water is indeed a very important existence for us, and without water, people cannot survive.

After a long sleep, the human body is in a state of dehydration. Drinking a glass of water in time when you wake up can replenish the water in your body and clean your stomach. It can also help you wake up better. In short, it is a good behavior to drink a glass of water after getting up.

2. Defecate on time after getting up in the morning

Most Chinese people are accustomed to defecate in the early morning. This is because people wake up in the morning and have the standing reflex, and the gastrocolic reflex is the strongest after eating breakfast, which will speed up the peristalsis of the colon, expel the stool and metabolize waste, and can effectively avoid anorectal diseases. occur.

And defecation after getting up in the morning can reduce the time that the stool stays in the body and reduce the absorption of toxins. If the stool stays in the body for a long time, the intestines will absorb the water in the stool, resulting in dry stool and difficulty in defecation.

Therefore, it is recommended that everyone develop the habit of defecation after getting up in the morning. Even if there is no feeling of defecation, you should squat on the toilet for a while, and it will become a habit after a long time.

3. Open windows for ventilation

For some students, including office workers, the longest time at home is only after returning home from work and before going to work the next morning. But whether we live at home or sleep at night, we absorb a lot of oxygen and release a lot of carbon dioxide in the process of breathing.

It is good to open the window in the morning to breathe. When the human body is indoors, there is a lot of exhaust gas. If there is too much exhaust gas, it will not only smell bad, but also affect the health of the human respiratory system.

Properly opening windows for ventilation can promote air circulation, help to discharge exhaust gas, and increase the concentration of indoor oxygen.

4. Eat breakfast

We often say that breakfast should be good and nutritious. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It must not be handled casually, especially junk food. You can mix eggs with a glass of milk.

Because the human body needs energy supplementation after a night of metabolism, breakfast should focus on nutrient intake, rather than simply satiety, so that the body can obtain more energy and is conducive to the recovery of body functions.

Doing it every morning may lead to longevity. Many people have not noticed that it is neither drinking water nor defecation.

stretch, stretch

Many people believe that the most beneficial things in the morning are drinking water and having a bowel movement. In fact, the first thing after waking up in the morning is not to rush to drink water or go to the toilet, but to stretch in bed first.

Stretching the waist can make the muscles of the whole body, especially the waist muscles, get exercised in rhythmic expansion and contraction, gradually develop and become stronger, can prevent the lumbar muscle strain, can correct the excessive forward bending of the spine in time, and maintain a healthy body.

Don't rush to get up immediately after waking up. During sleep, most of the organs of the human body are in a semi-dormant state, and getting up immediately can easily cause physical discomfort. At this time, you need to stretch your body, stretch your waist, and in this slow process, wake up the various organs of the human body in an orderly manner.

So when we wake up in the morning, the first thing is to stretch in bed, let the body fully relax and rest, and then get out of bed after the body slowly wakes up. Especially the elderly, after getting up every morning, be sure to rest by the bed first, and then get up after 1-2 minutes.

Or after the brain is awake, lie on the bed for 1 minute, move your arms, move your legs, this good habit is healthier than drinking water and defecation, and it is also one of the secrets of longevity.
