How much do you know about the secret of health and longevity?

1. Replenish water

Have you found that your memory is getting worse, you are easily sluggish, your reaction is slow, and your work is inefficient? In fact, this is not because your body is aging, but because you don’t know how to replenish water correctly!

Drink water after meals: Doctors recommend drinking water half an hour after meals.

Drink a glass of water when you wake up: Early morning is the best time to replenish water. Drinking water in the morning can wake up the stomach and intestines, reduce blood concentration and promote circulation.

Drink a glass of water before going to bed: Replenish water half an hour before going to bed to allow the body to maintain a balanced state during sleep and reduce the chance of kidney stones.

2. Six taboos in daily life

Avoid smoking in the early morning

When you wake up in the morning, your body's metabolism has not yet returned to normal levels, your breathing rate is slow, and carbon dioxide deposition is high. If you smoke at this time, the bronchi will be irritated and cause spasms, which will block the excretion of carbon dioxide and cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue.

2. Avoid drinking milk on an empty stomach

The protein in milk must be digested into amino acids in the stomach and small intestine before it can be absorbed in the small intestine. Drinking milk on an empty stomach will cause the stomach to empty quickly, and the protein will not have time to be absorbed, resulting in nutrient waste. The protein will also decay into toxic substances in the large intestine.

Avoid reading newspapers in the toilet

Many people like to read newspapers while using the toilet, squatting there for most of the day. Reading a newspaper while going to the toilet will not only suppress the urge to defecate, but will also make the rectum lose its sensitivity to defecation stimulation, which can easily cause constipation.

Four taboos on raising birds indoors

Bird droppings contain parrot viruses, island tuberculosis bacteria and parasitic mites. When bird droppings are crushed, germs will fly indoors. Long-term inhalation can induce symptoms such as respiratory mucosal congestion and cough, and in severe cases, pneumonia and shock may occur.

Avoid taking a bath for too long

Toxic substances in the water, such as trichloroethylene and chloroform, are evaporated by hot water by 80% and 50% respectively. Some of it will be absorbed by the body into the circulatory system, causing great harm. In addition, taking a long bath in hot water is not good for your heart.

Sixth taboo: close the windows when sleeping

When a person falls asleep, he or she inhales 300 ml of oxygen and exhales 250 ml of carbon dioxide every minute. If the doors and windows are closed, the amount of carbon dioxide in the room will triple within three hours, and harmful substances such as bacteria will also increase exponentially. Therefore, you should leave some gaps in the windows when sleeping.
