Eight 3 minutes for a lifetime of health

With the continuous improvement of living standards, modern people generally pay much attention to health care. However, many people do not know how to maintain health care scientifically! Here, experts will teach you how to use eight 3-minute daily life tips to maintain health care, prevent the invasion of patients, and ensure a healthy and happy life!

1. Brush your teeth for 3 minutes

A toothbrush can only brush 2-3 teeth at the same time, and brushing for 3 minutes each time can ensure that all teeth are brushed clean.

The "3-3-3 brushing method" advocated by the dental community means brushing your teeth more than three times a day, within three minutes after a meal, and brushing your teeth for more than three minutes each time.

2. Boil for another 3 minutes after the water boils

Chlorinated tap water, in which chlorine combines with residual organic matter in the water, will produce a variety of carcinogenic compounds. Boiling the water and then boiling it for 3 minutes before turning off the fire can effectively evaporate the harmful substances in the water, and the water quality can reach the safest drinking standard.

3. Eat hot food and drink cold food for 3 minutes

Many people like to eat hot pot while drinking cold drinks. In fact, blood vessels will dilate after eating hot food. If you drink a lot of ice water, the blood vessels will contract sharply, blood pressure will increase, and symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, stomach pain, and bloating will appear.

Therefore, it is best to leave an interval of more than 3 minutes between eating hot food and drinking cold food, so as to reduce irritation to the stomach.

4. Boil water for 3 minutes

When tea leaves are soaked in high-temperature water for a long time, tea polyphenols, tannins and other substances will leach out in large quantities, making the tea dark in color, bitter in taste, and also increasing the amount of harmful substances.

It is best to soak the tea leaves for 3 minutes before pouring out the water and then brewing for another 3 minutes.

5. Press the inner corner of the eye for 3 minutes after applying eye drops

After applying the medicine, gently close your eyes and press the inner corner of your eye with your index finger for 3 minutes. This will not only prevent the drug from entering the nasolacrimal duct and then flowing into the mouth, but will also prolong the time the drug stays on the surface of the eyeball, making the drug more effective.

6. Stay in bed for 3 minutes after waking up

Nearly 25% of stroke and sudden death cases occur in the early morning, so this period is called the "devil's time" of the day.

Middle-aged and elderly people with hypertension and heart disease should not rush to get up after waking up. They should close their eyes and rest in bed for 3 minutes before getting up, so that their blood pressure will not fluctuate too much.

7. Don’t be angry for more than 3 minutes

Studies have found that the energy consumed by a person being angry for 10 minutes is no less than that of running a 3,000-meter race. What’s more serious is that the blood pressure rises instantly, especially in the elderly, which can easily lead to cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease and myocardial infarction.

Therefore, anger should not last more than 3 minutes. It comes and goes quickly. Try your best to keep your emotions stable.

8. Do abdominal breathing for 3 minutes every day

The human lung capacity is as large as two footballs, but many people breathe too short, and the air cannot penetrate deep into the lower end of the lung lobes, resulting in less ventilation. Therefore, most people only use one-third of their lungs in their lifetime.

Do abdominal breathing for 3 minutes every day. First, inhale slowly through the nostrils, lift the chest and bulge the abdomen. This process usually takes 5-10 seconds, then hold your breath for 5-10 seconds, exhale, and start a new breath.
