Avoid urinating immediately after waking up

If you drink too much water at night, or if you have symptoms of frequent urination or urgency, you will often be woken up in the early morning. If you get up in a hurry to go to the toilet, you will often feel dizzy. Professor Yang Li of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences pointed out that during sleep, the human body's metabolic level decreases, the heartbeat slows down, the blood pressure drops, and various physiological functions operate slowly. At this time, suddenly going to the toilet and emptying the bladder quickly can easily induce hypotension, causing temporary insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to micturition syncope. In the cold winter, early morning is the "devil time" for sudden myocardial infarction and stroke. Middle-aged and elderly people go to the toilet immediately after waking up, which can easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, no matter how urgent you are to hold in your pee, don't get up immediately and run to the toilet. Instead, get up slowly, sit by the bed for a few minutes, and then slowly walk to the toilet.

2. Avoid getting up immediately after waking up

Many people wake up in the morning and get up in a hurry, only to be "knocked down" by a feeling of dizziness. Professor Zhou Yingchun, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, told the "Life Times" reporter that after waking up, it takes a process for the human body to transform from an inhibited state to an excited state. If you get up immediately to dress and wash, your body will not adapt, blood flow will be slower, and oxygen cannot be transported to the brain in time, and you will be prone to dizziness, dizziness and other discomforts. Middle-aged and elderly people are also prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Zhou Yingchun suggested that after waking up, don’t get up in a hurry. The elderly can lie on their backs on the bed and do the following activities: First, rub your hands to warm them, dry wash your face several times, and then massage your temples, back of the head, and neck in sequence, repeating 20 times; secondly, use both hands to warm your face. Make a half-clenched fist, lightly punch the lower back 10 times, and then beat the outer sides of both legs. Finally, alternately kick the soles of the feet with both heels, and then rub the palms of the feet together to make the soles of the feet feel warm.

Three taboos: work immediately after waking up

Some people have tight work tasks and put into intense work as soon as they wake up. However, insufficient blood supply to the brain at this time not only leads to low work efficiency, but also causes fatigue easily. Zhou Yingchun suggested that no matter how busy you are at work, it is best to lie in bed with your eyes open after waking up, think about the day's plan, and let the muscles and blood that are "resting" slowly "wake up". Then slowly get up and stretch. You can also do a small stretching exercise on the bed to relax the muscles of the whole body: straighten your left leg, bend your right leg, open your arms horizontally, and twist your upper body rhythmically 20 times; then lie on your back, curl up with your body, hold your knees with your hands, and stay still for a while Yes, then slowly scroll up and down 20 times.

Four avoidance of strenuous exercise after waking up

When you have enough time, moderate exercise in the morning has many health benefits. But some people start strenuous exercise as soon as they wake up in the morning, such as sit-ups, running, square dancing, etc. Some people jog all the way to catch the bus to work, leaving them panting from exhaustion. Zhou Yingchun reminded that strenuous exercise in the morning will stimulate excessive sympathetic nerve excitement and disrupt the autonomic nervous system, 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. She suggested that office workers should prepare the clothes they will wear and the things they will bring with them the night before to avoid having to pack things in a hurry. Try to take your time on the road, and it is recommended not to walk quickly or trot. When exercising in the morning, you might as well do some "health exercises". The specific method is: lie flat and relax your body, interlock your fingers, place your palms upward on your head, alternately straighten and hook your toes, and turn your body left and right at the same time; then use the heels of your hands to rub your chest and ribs in sequence from top to bottom; and then , use the palms of your hands to massage the points around the navel 50 times clockwise; finally, use half-clenched fists with both hands to gently pat the outside of both lower limbs until you feel the skin on the outside of the lower limbs is warm. 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

After a night's sleep, the stomach is still in a "half-asleep and half-awake" state in the early morning, and it takes ten minutes to half an hour to wake up. Moreover, saliva and gastric juice secretion are relatively small in the morning. If you eat immediately, especially some indigestible foods (such as meat, etc.), it can easily lead to indigestion. Tan Guijun, director of the Nutrition Department of Tianjin First Central Hospital, suggests that it is best to drink a glass of water after getting up in the morning and then eat after a while. This glass of water can not only replenish the water lost during sleep and increase the secretion of digestive juices, but also promote blood circulation and prevent cardiovascular accidents. It should be noted that this glass of water is best to be boiled water with the same room temperature. In winter, you can drink warm boiled water. Juice, coffee, milk, carbonated drinks, light salt water, etc. are not suitable. Also note that you should not drink too much water in the morning. Drinking it one mouthful at a time is more beneficial to the body.

Six taboos: fold the quilt immediately after waking up

Many parents have taught their children since childhood to develop the "good habit" of folding quilts as soon as they get up. But a study by Kingston University in the UK shows that not folding the quilt immediately after getting up is good for physical and mental health. Dr. Pretleff, the chief scientist of the study, pointed out that even in a very tidy bedroom, there are at least 15 million mites in the bedding on each bed. Because dust mites in the room are not easy to survive in a dry and exposed environment, a folded quilt can easily preserve the body's temperature and sweat, thus creating conditions for dust mites to survive. In addition, people emit a large amount of exhaust gas during a night's sleep, which contains 149 kinds of chemical substances such as carbon dioxide, and about 150 kinds of substances evaporated from sweat. These substances will be adsorbed on the quilt. If you fold the quilt immediately after getting up, these substances will not be easily emitted, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances and the reproduction of microorganisms. It will not only change the properties of the quilt fiber, but will be absorbed by the body again at night, thus endangering health. Therefore, do not fold the quilt and make the bed immediately after getting up. Instead, turn the quilt over so that the inside of the quilt is facing out. At the same time, open the doors and windows for ventilation, and fold the quilt after washing.

Seven taboos: Staying in bed after waking up

Many office workers are accustomed to lying in bed during holidays. But most people who are bedridden have this feeling: after lying down for a long time, their limbs feel heavy, listless, and dizzy. It is not as energetic as getting up early on a working day. Zhou Yingchun pointed out that lying down for a long time damages Qi, and sleeping in late is not conducive to the release of Yang Qi in the human body, leading to poor Qi movement and easy stagnation of diseases. There are also people who ring the alarm several times before getting up and washing up in a hurry. This can over-excit the sympathetic nerves, disrupt the autonomic nerves, and make people feel irritable. A study by the British Psychological Society found that early risers are healthier and happier than those who wake up later. Therefore, you should develop a good habit of not staying in bed at any time. Go to bed early on workdays, try to get up as early as possible, and leave time to drink a glass of water and have breakfast. Don't stay in bed during holidays. Go to the morning market, buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, and then come back to make breakfast to reward yourself. It is best to go outdoors and participate in aerobic exercise, which is far more enjoyable than staying in bed.

Eight taboos: don’t open the curtains when you get up

Many people are too lazy to open the curtains after getting up, but Zhou Yingchun pointed out that if you want to wake up quickly and completely from sleep, it is best to open the curtains first, let the sunlight shine in, and give a signal to the biological clock. At this time, the body stops secreting the sleepy hormone melatonin and increases the level of serotonin (the hormone that brings pleasure and happiness) in the brain. Open the window smoothly, stand by the window for a while, take a few breaths of fresh air, and provide sufficient oxygen to the brain, which can speed up the brain's awakening. Turning on the bedroom lights on rainy days can achieve the same effect.
