December 30, 2023

Health Preservation is a topic of great concern for modern people, but there is not much scientific basis for health preservation. Recently, experts have provided 5 common sense tips for health preservation in daily life. Let's learn about them together!


1. Combing Hair

Combing hair can stimulate the acupoints on the head, promote meridian circulation, regulate nerve function, enhance secretion activity, improve blood circulation, and promote metabolism.

Regularly combing hair can make the complexion more rosy and rejuvenate the spirit.

In addition, combing hair is also an auxiliary method for treating insomnia, dizziness, palpitations, post-stroke sequelae, and premature graying of hair in adolescents.

Combing hair 3-5 times a day, each time not less than 3-5 minutes, and it is best to comb hair before going to bed at night.

2. Stretching

Stretching can cause most of the muscles in the body to contract, "driving" the stagnant blood back to the heart, greatly increasing blood flow and improving blood circulation.

Therefore, regularly stretching can promote muscle contraction and relaxation, promote blood flow driven by muscles, remove metabolic waste from the muscles, eliminate fatigue, make the whole body feel much more comfortable, and improve mental state.


3. Standing on Tiptoes

In daily work and life, especially after sitting or standing for a long time, when the lower limbs feel sore and weak, you can use the method of standing on tiptoes for exercise.

When standing on tiptoes, the contraction and compression of the muscles at the back of the lower legs on both sides can promote the return of blood in the lower limbs, accelerate blood circulation, relieve lower limb soreness, prevent lower limb varicose veins and skin pigmentation.

Specific method: Keep both feet together on the ground, raise the heels with force, hold for 2-3 seconds, and repeat multiple times.

4. Deep Breathing

Deep breathing can help the lungs expel stale air, increase lung capacity and oxygen content in the blood, and accelerate blood circulation.

5. Tooth Tapping

Before each meal, relax the whole body, lightly close the lips, and then rhythmically tap the upper and lower teeth. Tap 4-8 times each time to make the teeth strong and prevent dental diseases.
