3 habits when you wake up in the morning to keep diseases away from you!

What do you do when you wake up every morning? Play with your phone, go to the toilet, eat a nutritious breakfast...

As the saying goes: A day's plan begins in the morning. The same is true for health preservation. Grasping the "golden period of health preservation" when you get up in the morning every day will have a multiplier effect on prolonging life and strengthening the body.

Today I will introduce to you 4 “morning health-preserving things”. These seemingly insignificant little habits not only wake up the body, but also play a very good role in health preservation. Come and learn them, let us start every day with health.

3 small actions in the morning to keep diseases away from you

0 1**** Stretching in bed

Yes, you read that right, stretching is also a health-preserving exercise.

When you just wake up in the morning, don’t rush to get up immediately. Give your body some "buffer" time, stretch, and allow your body to smoothly transition from a state of inhibition to a state of excitement.

Stretching may seem simple, but it has many benefits!

When we stretch, the chest cavity is fully expanded and the muscles of the whole body are stretched, which helps us wake the body from sleep and activate the body quickly.

Muscle contraction and deepening of breathing can also accelerate blood circulation, increase the body's oxygen supply, and have a refreshing effect.

We all know that the morning is a time period when blood viscosity is higher. Stretching can accelerate blood circulation, which can help blood flow to the liver, bringing more nutrients to the liver while promoting liver metabolism.

**【Note】** Although stretching has many benefits, be careful not to use too much force, especially for people with high blood pressure or heart disease. It is not advisable to use too much force and only stretch gently and slowly.

Teach you how to do a perfect stretch

Cross your hands, raise your palms up above your head, stretch your limbs as far as possible, and gradually use the muscles of your whole body (pushing your hands upward and your legs downward);

Take a deep breath when exerting force, and maintain the whole process for a few seconds;

After finishing, slowly exhale, untie your hands, stretch naturally, and relax your whole body.

0 2**** Go to the toilet in time

After getting up and stretching, go to the toilet in time. Why do I say "in time"? Because many people like to hold their urine.

Holding urine may seem like a minor problem, but it can have a huge impact on your health.

Prolonged retention of urine can cause excessive pressure in the bladder, breed bacteria, and cause urinary tract infection.

The pathogens may ascend through the urethra to the bladder, or even the ureters and renal pelvis, inducing pyelonephritis, and may also progress to chronic kidney disease.

When you hold your urine, the pressure on the renal pelvis and renal cortex will increase accordingly. If this continues for a long time, it will lead to decreased renal function.

0 3**** Comb your hair

Combing your hair is not just about your image, it is also related to your health.

Combing your hair in the morning can also have the effect of refreshing the mind, invigorating the brain and calming the spirit.

**【Note】**When combing your hair, you should use even and gentle force. It is recommended to choose a comb with coarse teeth, not too sharp, so that it is easier to massage. You can also use your fingers to scratch your head to massage it.

Don’t do these 3 “short-lived things” when you wake up in the morning!

Since there are things that are good for health, there are naturally things that are "harmful" to health. People who understand health preservation will not do the following things!

0 1****Stand up suddenly

Sitting up immediately after waking up in the morning is not a sign of diligence, but will cause trouble to your health.

It is easy to feel dizzy and dazed when you stand up suddenly. This is because the blood flow direction of the body changes, resulting in lack of oxygen to the brain . This condition is called "postural hypotension". You may experience symptoms such as blacking out and unstable standing, and in severe cases, you may even fall down or faint.

Don't rush to get up when you just wake up. Relax and stretch, then sit up. If you are not in a hurry, you can sit on the edge of the bed for 2 minutes.

0 2**** Straining to defecate

It is a good habit to have regular bowel movements in the morning, but if you really don't feel like defecating, you can get up and walk around first, and then go to the toilet when you feel like it. Never force yourself to defecate.

Holding your breath and straining during bowel movements will increase abdominal pressure, which can easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If you already have these diseases, it is more likely to induce angina pectoris and cerebral hemorrhage.

0 3**** Morning exercise too early and too intense

The weather is hot in summer, and many middle-aged and elderly people go out early in order to keep cool during morning exercises. In fact, this is not recommended.

If you go out too early in the morning, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air will be at a high level, which is harmful to your health.

In addition, after a long sleep at night, the body's blood viscosity is high in the morning, the flow is the worst, and it is easy to coagulate into blood clots. In addition, the weather is hot, and the water in the human body evaporates more. Exercising too early in the morning can easily cause cardiovascular disease.
