What does your body do in 24 hours a day

Sometimes we make some plans for the day, but do you know what your body is doing during these 24 hours?

1: Entering the light sleep stage, easy to wake up

At this time, the human body is most sensitive to pain, and some minor hidden dangers will manifest themselves. For example: Some people may wake up due to back pain, which may be a precursor to cervical spondylosis or heart disease and should not be ignored.

Gastrointestinal bleeding is prone to occur between 0 and 2 a.m., when the vagus nerve is excited, gastric acid secretion increases, and the stomach is empty, which aggravates gastrointestinal damage. People with ulcers who experience symptoms such as increased heart rate, cold limbs, dizziness, or even bloody stools should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2 o'clock: The liver works hard

This is the deep sleep period, when most organs are resting, but the liver is the most "excited", breaking down and excreting toxins of the day. Many people who work overtime should try not to drink coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages. If you are hungry, you can drink some millet porridge or eat some fruit.

Avoid getting emotional, work for two hours and then relax for half an hour. Waking up during deep sleep will reduce the overall sleep quality, so avoid drinking too much water before going to bed to avoid waking up at night.

3 points: low blood pressure, low pulse and breathing rate

If you are suffocated and wake up in the early morning, be alert to the possibility of heart failure. For a small number of diabetic patients, their blood sugar gradually rises around 3 a.m., resulting in high fasting blood sugar in the morning. Patients can eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. They can have a snack about 1 hour before going to bed and consume a small amount of food containing carbohydrates and protein, such as a glass of milk, a small bowl of porridge or a few slices of bread, etc., which will help increase the secretion and sensitivity of insulin at night.

4 points: Sudden death and stroke are common

At this time, the viscosity of the human body's blood increases, blood flow slows down, and blood clots are easily caused. The vagus nerve is excited at night. If you stay up too late, it will cause large fluctuations in blood pressure, leading to myocardial infarction, stroke, etc. If you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, limb numbness, and crooked mouth corners, you should consider the possibility of a cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease attack.

4 a.m. is also a high-incidence time for nocturnal hypoglycemia, which manifests as sweating, palpitations, nightmares, etc. Diabetic patients with bad stomachs should pay attention to their feelings after waking up. They can eat some slowly absorbed foods before going to bed, such as a cup of yogurt, a portion of fruit, a few biscuits, etc.

5 o'clock: Yang energy rises, spirits are full

At this time, if you exert too much force when going to the toilet or go out for intense morning exercise, it can easily lead to acute myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. So don't rush to get up when you wake up, it's best to continue sleeping for a while. When you get up, lie on your back for a while, open your eyes wide, and adapt to the process of alternating from sleep to waking. Then rub your palms together to warm them up and do a "dry face wash" for 1 minute. Then sit up slowly in a semi-recumbent position and comb your hair 100 times with your fingers for 2 to 3 minutes.

6 o'clock: Blood pressure rises and heart rate increases
