Three points for self-testing the health of “white-collar men”

Measuring height

Self-test: Take off your shoes and socks, measure your height to two decimal places (in centimeters), and compare it with last year's height to see if slight changes in your height are obvious.

Diagnosis: If you find that you have become shorter, it means that your body is losing calcium and your bone health is being threatened.

Prescription: A balanced diet is the key. Developing the habit of eating on time is important for preventing bone calcium loss. In addition, moderate exercise can speed up the body's metabolism and slow down bone loss.

Recommendation: Get some sun every day to get vitamin D.

Testing lung function

Self-test: When you blow out the candles on the cake, do you feel dizzy for a moment?

Diagnosis: If you feel dizzy, it may be pulmonary vertigo, which is common in lung dysfunction caused by various reasons.

Prescription: You should quit smoking and develop a fitness plan, which will help your lung health; eating more radishes and other fresh vegetables can enhance the lung's disease resistance. In addition, eating 1 apple a day will have better effects.

Recommendation: Breath-holding breathing exercises are very effective. Young people can hold their breath for 2 to 3 minutes and breathe once; middle-aged people can breathe once about 1 minute. Breathing exercises can be done at any time, at least 5 to 8 times a day.

Testing Hair Health

Self-test: Pull out a hair, pull it quickly with one hand, and put it in a bowl of water when it becomes a spiral shape. If the hair can quickly return to a straight line, it means that the hair is healthy and elastic; if it still remains in a spiral shape in water, it means that the hair has poor elasticity.

Diagnosis: There are two reasons for hair problems: deterioration of hair quality and physical condition. The growth, withering and flourishing of hair are related to essence, qi, blood, internal organs and meridians. Any obstruction in any of them can lead to hair diseases.

Prescription: Change bad living habits, have a regular life, don't stay up late, eat less sweets, pay attention to supplementing vegetables, fruits and whole grains; even if you want to lose weight, your diet should not lack high-quality protein, such as milk, eggs, etc.; eat some nuts appropriately, such as walnuts and peanuts; ensure an exercise every day, such as brisk walking for 10 to 20 minutes; take time to do a head health massage; comb your hair before going to bed at night, all of which will help promote hair health.
