Women, don't be shy. Rub this place every day and you will live 10 years longer.

Health preservation, beauty care and anti-aging can all be achieved through acupoint massage. It only takes a few minutes a day, which is a very good choice for white-collar workers. Here are six health-preserving acupoints for you!

Zhongfu Point

Location: Zhongfu point is located on the lateral chest of the human body, parallel to the first intercostal space, 6 inches away from the anterior midline.

Key points of the action: Press with the middle finger and ring finger, using a little force, just enough for you to bear. Press for 3 to 5 minutes each time, and do it 1 to 5 times a day.

Medical theory: Middle refers to the central qi, which is the qi of the spleen and lungs. The qi of the spleen and lungs combined is called the central qi. If you often feel that you are short of energy and can't breathe, or you feel weak when defecating, or have bloating after eating, this means that you are lacking in vital energy. Zhongfu point is a gathering point of the lung meridian and also a point where the spleen and lung meridians meet. It is best to use this point to regulate qi.

Efficacy: Regular massage of the Zhongfu point can unblock the meridians of the lungs, help enlarge the breasts, strengthen lymphatic circulation, and relieve symptoms such as chest tightness, shoulder and back pain.

Mingmen Point

Location: Located on the waist, on the posterior midline, in the depression below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, approximately at the same level as the navel.

Key points of the action: Before going to bed every day, press the Mingmen point with your thumb, and rub it dozens of times until you feel soreness and swelling. Take once a day.

Medical theory: Mingmen point is located in the middle of the waist and back and is connected to the spine. It is in a low position in the human body's gravitational field. The high-temperature and high-pressure negative fluid in the spine is transported to the body's surface through the Du meridian. The negative fluid transported from this point has the function of maintaining the continuous circulation of Qi and blood in the Du meridian. It is the basis of human life, hence the name Mingmen.

Efficacy: Massaging the Mingmen acupoint has an aphrodisiac effect, can improve sexual frigidity, balance and restore sexual function, and can also effectively delay aging and postpone menopause.

Shangyang Point

Location: Located on the thumb side of the index finger, 2 mm behind the corner of the nail. This acupoint is located on the large intestine meridian.

Key points of the action: Pinch the index finger, press with the thumb, and apply a little force, just enough for you to bear, and massage for 3-5 minutes each time.

Medical theory: Shangyang is the exit for the qi and blood of the large intestine meridian to flow to the surface meridians. Massaging the Shangyang point can vaporize the water in the large intestine meridian and transport high-temperature and humid gas to the large intestine meridian on the surface of the body.

Efficacy: Massaging Shangyang point can promote metabolism, invigorate the qi and blood of the large intestine meridian, regulate the function of the digestive tract, speed up the body's metabolism, relieve constipation, and have a strengthening and nourishing effect on the body.

9 simple ways to keep healthy for women

1. Eat more food when you wake up in the morning

The sooner you eat breakfast after waking up, the faster your metabolism will increase. If you have the habit of morning exercise, then make sure to eat a banana before exercise. Eating breakfast after exercise is a good choice.

2. Don’t go to work empty-handed if you don’t have time to eat breakfast

If you don't have time to eat breakfast, then prepare a piece of wholemeal bread and some fruit for yourself. When you are hungry, you can easily get a strong breakfast. It is also a good choice to have a timely snack before work.

3. Drink milk like your child

Women who drink three cups of yogurt a day will consume 60% more fat than those who do not drink yogurt. Why is this? The answer is that yogurt is rich in calcium ions. It acts as a catalyst, allowing the body to burn fat quickly.

4. Poor sleep will make you fat

When your normal sleep time is deprived, your body produces an anti-stress hormone to slow down your metabolism, and your appetite will increase the next day. If you have to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, it is best to go to bed around 11 o'clock the day before. Instead of watching exciting TV series before going to bed, it is also a good idea to take a hot bath and relax before going to bed.

5. Honey is a loyal defender of human cells

According to a study in the United States, dark honey is particularly beneficial to human cells because it contains rich antioxidant substances that can protect cells well. It is also very beneficial to the blood and can effectively prevent diseases of the cardiovascular system.

6. Keep moving

For example, 20 minutes of strength training in the early morning and a half-hour walk after dinner can double your metabolic rate. This is called phased training, which is easier to burn calories than a one-time exercise.

7. Eat coarse food rather than fine food

A recent study shows that the key to weight loss is not the amount of fiber intake, but what type of fiber can catalyze fat consumption during digestion.

8. Five minutes of total relaxation

When a person is completely relaxed, the body does not produce anti-stress hormones, and will feel comfortable and pleasant. When people are in this relaxed state, tense emotions are released and the stressed skin also gets a sense of rest. Therefore, why not remind yourself to relax for 5 minutes from time to time!

9. Food for Thought

If you want to have a sharp mind, quick thinking and high work efficiency, you should eat more carbohydrate-rich foods to supplement vitamin B for the body. Walnuts, wholemeal bread and bananas are the best brain supplements.
