As the saying goes, "The best plan for a day is in the morning." Do you know that? The morning of a day is a period of time after waking up. Many people have engaged in inappropriate behaviors during this period, resulting in an impact on their daily life. Based on this, health experts have summarized eight common taboos for getting up. For your reference, be careful. These mistakes are stealing your life expectancy.
A taboo
Urinate immediately after waking up
During sleep, the body's metabolic level decreases, heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, and various physiological functions operate slowly. "At this point, when you suddenly go to the toilet, your bladder quickly empties, which can easily induce hypotension, causing a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, leading to voiding syncope.".
Suggestion: Even if your urine is holding fast, don't get up immediately and run to the bathroom. Instead, get up slowly, sit by the bed for a few minutes, and then slowly walk to the bathroom.
Two taboos
Get up immediately after waking up
After waking up, it takes a process for the human body to transition from a suppressed state to an excited state. If you immediately get up to dress and wash, the body does not adapt, blood flow is relatively slow, and oxygen cannot be delivered to the brain in a timely manner, leading to dizziness, dizziness, and other discomfort. Middle-aged and elderly people are also prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Suggestion: Don't get up in a hurry after waking up. You can lie on your back and do the following activities first:
First, rub your hands together and dry clean your face several times, then massage your temples, back of your head, and neck in turn, repeating for 20 times;
Secondly, with half clenched fists, gently pound the waist and back 10 times, and then pound the outer sides of both large and small legs;
Finally, alternately push the instep with your heels, and then rub your feet against the palm to make the instep feel warm.
Three taboos
Work immediately after waking up
Some people have tight work tasks, and when they wake up, they engage in intense work. However, at this time, the lack of blood supply to the brain not only leads to low work efficiency, but also easy to fatigue.
Suggestion: You can do a small stretch exercise in bed to relax your muscles throughout the body:
Extend the left leg straight, bend the right leg, extend both arms horizontally, and twist the upper body rhythmically for 20 times;
Then lie on your back, curl up, hold your knees with both hands, rest for a moment, and slowly roll up and down 20 times.
Four taboos
Vigorous exercise after waking up
Intensive exercise in the morning can stimulate sympathetic overexcitation and disrupt the autonomic nervous rhythm, making people nervous and anxious throughout the day. Middle-aged and elderly people are also prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies such as myocardial infarction.
Suggestion: If you want to get up and exercise, it is recommended to focus on gentle and gentle exercises, such as walking, tai chi, and Baduanjin.
Five taboos
Eat immediately after waking up
In the early morning, the stomach is in a state of "half dreaming and half waking", which takes from ten minutes to half an hour to awaken. The amount of saliva and gastric juice secreted in the morning is relatively small, and if you eat immediately, especially some indigestible foods (such as meat), it can easily lead to indigestion.
Suggestion: After getting up in the morning, it is best to drink a glass of water first, and then eat later.
It should be noted that this glass of water is preferably boiled water at the same temperature as room temperature. Juice, coffee, milk, light salt water, etc. are not suitable.
Six taboos
Immediately fold the quilt after waking up
A study by the University of Kingston in the UK shows that even in a very tidy bedroom, there are at least 15 million mites in the bedding on each bed.
In addition, during a night's sleep, people emit a large amount of exhaust gas, including 149 chemical substances such as carbon dioxide, and about 150 substances evaporated from sweat. These substances will be adsorbed on the quilt.
Suggestion: After getting up, do not immediately fold the quilt and make the bed. Instead, turn the quilt over, with the inside of the quilt facing outward, and open the doors and windows for ventilation. After washing, fold the quilt.
Seven taboos
Sleeping in bed after waking up
Most people who can't get up in bed have the feeling that after lying for a long time, they feel heavy on their limbs, listless, and dizzy. They are not as energetic as getting up early on a workday.
Suggestion: Develop the good habit of staying in bed at all times.
Go to bed early on weekdays, try to get up early for a moment, and set aside time for a glass of water and breakfast.
On holidays, don't lie in bed. Go to the morning market, buy some fresh vegetables and fruits, come back and treat yourself to breakfast. It's best to go outdoors and participate in aerobic exercise, which is far more enjoyable than lying in bed.
Eight taboos
Don't open the curtains when getting up
To quickly and completely wake up from sleep, it is best to first open the curtains and let the sun shine in, giving a signal to the biological clock. At this point, the body will stop producing the sleepy melatonin.
Suggestion: Turning on the bedroom lights on rainy days can achieve the same effect.
