There are some tips for staying at home on May Day to maintain your health. Keep healthy scientifically and don’t owe “health debt”

Stay-at-home people should not owe a "health debt"

Many office workers use the three-day May Day holiday to rest at home and relieve fatigue, but there is also a science to how "homebodies" can rest.

It’s OK to catch up on sleep, but it’s not OK to oversleep

I am woken up by the alarm clock every day on weekdays, but I can catch up on some sleep during the three-day holiday and sleep until I wake up naturally. But how to sleep scientifically?

Doctors recommend that you maintain good work and rest habits, do not deliberately prolong or shorten your sleep time, do not go to bed too late at night, and do not sleep too much in the morning. You should go to bed early and get up early. Generally, 8 hours of sleep is appropriate. If you sleep too long, it will easily lead to fatigue and general weakness. The biological clock formed over a long period of time will also be disrupted, which is not conducive to your physical and mental health. People who wake up early can take a nap at noon, but the time should not be too long. Sleeping too long will make it difficult to fall asleep at night.

After getting up, you can do some moderate exercise, such as going to the playground for a run or taking a walk in the garden, breathe more fresh air, and keep your body and mind comfortable. We usually do little exercise at work, so we should exercise more during holidays to relax and relieve fatigue. This way, we can exercise our body and promote metabolism. Enhance the body's immunity.

In fact, sleep during holidays is no different from that on weekdays. We must follow good living habits and scientific schedules. It’s just that in the festive atmosphere, people may temporarily ignore it.

I like to play mahjong during long holidays, and invite three or five friends to play together. Mahjong is an activity that combines wisdom and fun, relieves fatigue and promotes friendship. However, if you don’t manage the duration well and play mahjong for several hours, it will backfire and you may even develop "mahjong syndrome." This is related to sitting for long periods of time and less changes in posture, especially staying up late to play mahjong, which can cause weak waist muscles and excessive lumbar curvature. If encountering strong stimulation, they will be more likely to suffer from lumbar disc herniation than other people, which will in turn stimulate the surrounding blood vessels and nerves, causing a series of diseases.

It is recommended that you get up and move around after playing mahjong for 45 minutes to an hour to avoid damaging your spinal health.

Surfing the Internet at home is undoubtedly a way for young people to relax. However, if you use the Internet for a long time, it will cause big problems.

You should take a break every hour or so when surfing the Internet. You can look into the distance to give your eyes proper rest. Netizens should choose a computer monitor that can be tilted or rotated and has contrast and brightness adjustment functions, use an adjustable computer chair, and place the reference materials to be used on a file holder next to the computer, so there is no need to turn the neck and head back and forth, and the eyes do not need to frequently adjust the focus. People who wear contact lenses should pay more attention to keeping a proper distance from the computer screen to prevent eyestrain.

Watching TV for too long can cause your blood pressure to rise

Chest tightness, fatigue, dizziness... Do you feel this kind of discomfort after sitting for a long time watching TV? Reporters learned from various hospitals in the city that during the long holiday, the number of patients who went to the hospital for treatment of high blood pressure increased significantly compared to usual. Sitting for a long time watching TV may cause high blood pressure. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, inattention, memory loss, limb numbness, increased nocturia, palpitations, chest tightness, fatigue, etc. The time watching TV should be controlled.
