What can couples do in the morning that is better than morning exercise

A woman's aging is reflected in her face, while a man's aging comes more from within, and they are afraid that their energy is decreasing. Every long-lived healthy elderly person has his or her own secret to maintaining health. If you want to maintain your energy and live longer, you must pay more attention to the details of life, especially the five health care things in the morning.

1. Staying in bed

What is the first thing you do when you wake up? It’s not brushing your teeth or opening your eyes, but staying in bed for five more minutes. Many people believe that staying in bed too long is a bad habit, but in fact, getting up suddenly will force the blood to rush upward, causing a sudden change in blood pressure and leading to symptoms such as dizziness. Therefore, when you get up in the morning, it is best not to get up after opening your eyes. Instead, take advantage of this opportunity to lie in bed and move your limbs and head, and then get up after 5 minutes.

After getting up, wait until you are conscious, slowly bend each knee and push them toward the other side of the body; hold one knee to your chest with both hands and hold it for 10 seconds; lie on your back, stretch your arms as far back as possible, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, keeping your body still for 5 seconds.

2. Drink a glass of water

When you wake up in the morning, you should drink a glass of water seriously. After a night of sleep, without drinking a drop of water, people are easily dehydrated. Drinking a glass of water at this time is beneficial to the body's water replenishment. At the same time, it also cleans the stomach and intestines. Awakening the stomach and other body senses can help better digest the food eaten for breakfast. Moreover, drinking a glass of water to clear your mouth can help you wake up from your sleep. So, you might as well put a glass of cold water by your bed before going to bed the night before.

3. Morning bowel movement

Get up early to defecate. Once you develop this good habit, you will benefit from it for life. Food stays in the body while we sleep. After a night of digestion, if it is not excreted in time, it will accumulate in the body and cause a burden on gastrointestinal function. However, many people cannot do this. After all, you can’t queue up whenever you want. Don’t worry if you don’t have this habit yet. You can work hard to cultivate it. For example, you can eat more high-fiber foods, such as cabbage, sweet potatoes and other whole grains, and go to the toilet in the morning regardless of whether you have a bowel movement or not. Over time, the habit will become natural.

4. Take a bath

Compared to the Chinese habit of taking a shower at night, most foreigners prefer to take a shower in the morning. In fact, taking a bath in the morning is indeed a good choice, because taking a bath in the morning helps to promote blood circulation, and the feeling of cleanliness and the fragrance of the bath gel itself can adjust your mood and make you more energetic.

As for taking a shower or bath, it depends on whether you have enough time. If you have time to take a bath, the water temperature should not be too high and the bath time should not be too long. Choose some citrus-scented bath products, which are best for boosting your spirits. If you are taking a shower, I will tell you a little secret to eliminate shoulder muscle pain. Put a towel on your shoulders, use a tolerable heat, and use the shower head to hit your shoulders. Do this for ten minutes each time, more than three times a week, for best results.

5. Eat a good breakfast

Finally, there is one more thing that is also very important. That is eating breakfast. Many people do not pay attention to breakfast, which is wrong. Skipping breakfast not only means you don’t know how to enjoy life, but it is also a foolish behavior that harms your body. Some people would rather sleep for half an hour longer than allow themselves to have a delicious breakfast. In fact, breakfast is the most important of the three meals a day. Breakfast is the source of energy for the day. Skipping breakfast in order to sleep a little longer is the most uneconomical. Firstly, your health will be greatly compromised, and secondly, you will lose the wonderful feeling of enjoying a quiet breakfast. Skipping breakfast for a long time can cause malnutrition, anemia, reduced resistance, and pancreatic and gallstones. So you must eat breakfast, and it is best to eat breakfast between 7 and 8 o'clock. Because people's appetite is strongest at this time.
