How can we preserve our vitality?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that illness will damage your vitality. If your vitality is seriously damaged, your physical condition will get worse and worse. If you want to take good care of your body, it is really important to maintain your vitality. So how do we preserve our vitality? Here are some home maintenance tips.

Yuan Qi is the basic substance and activity ability of the physiological functions of human tissues and organs. It can be specifically broken down into 28 words: "able to eat and drink without any panic, able to run and jump without any panic, able to breathe smoothly without any coughing or wheezing, with a good complexion and a bright voice." This is the best way to protect Yuan Qi.

Good mood makes good medicine

Disease steals our energy. Therefore, in the battle against disease, you must be in a good mood in order to recover quickly. Expert tip: Especially when taking medicine, you must maintain a good mood and do not regard it as a burden. You can even tell yourself, "After taking this tablet, I will feel much better tomorrow!" An optimistic and confident mood is like a "fuel" for the medicine, which helps it to work. On the contrary, no matter how good the physiological effects of the drug are, if the patient lacks confidence and is depressed, the efficacy will be much worse.

Smoking and drinking when tired are more harmful to your health

"Cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, and strong tea" are often the first choice for refreshing and relieving fatigue. Experts tip: Stay away from these "stimulants" when you are tired, because they will increase the burden on your heart, causing palpitations, heart palpitations, and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. In addition, these four things are often inseparable in daily life. People smoke and drink, and after drinking, they rely on coffee or strong tea to refresh themselves. This combination will aggravate the damage to their vitality. Tobacco and alcohol work together. Alcohol will cause the carcinogenic substance tar to enter the body faster. Drinking coffee or strong tea after drinking alcohol will cause the brain to go from extreme inhibition to extreme excitement, stimulate blood vessel dilation, greatly increase the cardiovascular burden, and cause many times more damage to the human body than simply drinking alcohol.

High-quality sleep is the cornerstone of vitality. Many people believe that “taking a hot bath before bed” helps sleep, but this is not the case. Hot water will rapidly increase the body temperature, inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the brain, slow down the rate at which the brain releases melatonin, and affect the speed of falling asleep and the quality of sleep.

It is best to take a bath 90 minutes before going to bed. After taking a bath, lie in bed and read a magazine, drink a glass of milk, or chat with your family. In this way, when you go to bed, your body temperature will drop to a suitable sleeping temperature, and you will naturally feel sleepy. When you wake up the next morning, you will feel especially refreshed. If you can only take a bath before going to bed, the water temperature can be slightly lower.

Good living habits are the best way to maintain your vitality. Develop a healthy lifestyle, pay more attention to healthy diet and actively participate in sports. These home care methods can help you improve your physical fitness and maintain your vitality. If you are interested, come and try it.
