11 things you should never do after getting up

Rubbing your eyes early in the morning can cause infection

After being woken up by the alarm clock in the morning, many people will subconsciously rub their eyes, which is not good for eye health. The skin around the eyes is delicate. Rubbing your eyes with your hands can easily destroy the elasticity of the skin, causing capillaries to rupture and accelerating the aging of the skin around the eyes. It may also allow bacteria on your hands and dirt around the eyes to enter the eyes, causing infection.

Therefore, do not rub your eyes with your hands immediately after getting up in the morning. Instead, wash your hands and apply a clean warm towel to your eyes, or rinse them with clean water.

Getting a headache when washing your hair early in the morning

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, washing your hair early in the morning is not recommended, especially in winter. Time is tight in the morning, and many people go out before waiting for their hair to dry. They are easily caught in the cold, which can cause headaches in mild cases, and pain in large and small joints, or even muscle paralysis in severe cases.

It is best for young people to wash their hair at night, but not before going to bed, and leave enough time for the hair to dry. If you must wash your hair in the morning, blow-dry it before going out.

Not brushing your teeth in time can easily lead to colds

After a night's sleep, a lot of dirt will remain in the mouth. When it combines and deposits with the calcium salt in the saliva, it easily forms dental plaque. If you don't brush your teeth immediately after getting up and drink water or eat directly, you will bring these bacteria and dirt into your body, increasing the chances of contracting viral colds and gastrointestinal diseases.

Therefore, in addition to brushing your teeth before going to bed at night, the first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning is to brush your teeth carefully.

Skipping breakfast

Three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, can ensure that the human digestive system works rhythmically and also regulate the autonomic nervous system. In particular, eating breakfast on time can activate the stomach and intestines that have rested overnight, allowing the stomach and intestines to start working for a new day.

If you are really in a hurry in the morning and don't have time to eat breakfast, you can't leave your stomach empty. It is recommended to eat some solid food, such as apples and bananas, which are nutritious and save time.

Rushing to catch the bus

In order to save time, many people walk and run all the way, or even run to the station, leaving them breathless. In fact, strenuous exercise early in the morning will stimulate the sympathetic nerves, disrupt the rhythm of the autonomic nervous system, and make people nervous and anxious all day long.

Therefore, before going to bed the night before, you should prepare the clothes you will wear the next day and the things you will take with you when going out, and put them in a fixed place. This can save a lot of time in the rush to pack and allow you to go out earlier. On the way to work or school, try to walk leisurely, step by step. You can also walk fast, but pay attention to the rhythm of your steps.

Going to bed barefoot can cause diarrhea

Many young people get up early and walk barefoot on the floor in a hurry, which is not good for health. The feet are the second heart of the human body, so it is very important to keep them warm.

When you just get out of bed in the morning, your feet have not yet adapted to the outside temperature, and it is easy to catch a cold when you step on the ground, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. If this continues for a long time, it will affect your gastrointestinal health. Therefore, you should wear a pair of soft flat slippers when you get up early. In winter, it is best to put on socks immediately after getting up.

Immediate vigorous exercise

Many people are accustomed to doing proper physical exercise after getting up in the morning. As long as you pay attention, it is indeed good for your health. However, exercise can only be carried out after a short rest in the morning and after the circulation of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang is balanced.

If you get up and immediately engage in strenuous exercise without doing any warm-up exercises, you are likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Rising to urinate after waking up

When you wake up in the morning, your bladder may be full of urine, and you may feel an urgent need to urinate. The more urgent the urge to urinate, the more you should hold your breath. Do not get up to urinate immediately, especially the elderly. Urinating in an upright position should be avoided. Because emptying the bladder can easily cause dizziness or even urinary syncope.

Drinking coffee early in the morning makes you sensitive all day

Many people drink a cup of coffee to refresh themselves after getting up early. However, experts say that drinking coffee immediately after getting up can easily lead to excess energy and make people become sensitive. In addition, coffee can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and affect gastrointestinal health. People with gastric ulcers should not drink coffee on an empty stomach.

If you are used to using coffee to stay awake, it is recommended to move the time of drinking coffee to about 1 hour after getting up, or eat some staple food such as bread before drinking coffee in the morning. This will not only ensure your health, but also keep you refreshed all day long.

Bed Lover

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to stay in bed after waking up, especially during holidays. Anyone who has experienced bed-reluctance (no matter young or old) will have this feeling: the more time they spend sleeping and staying in bed, the more they feel their limbs become heavy, their spirit becomes sluggish, and they feel "more tired the more they sleep" and "more uncomfortable the more they sleep". As a result, they are not as energetic as when they are busy working or studying every day.

Being bed-loving disrupts the normal daily routine and causes many biological clocks in the body to go out of sync.

Drinking cold water can cause stomach problems

Drinking a glass of boiled water in the morning is considered by many people as a health secret. In fact, drinking cold water can greatly damage the yang energy in the lower part of the body. Over time, women will suffer from dysmenorrhea, and men will develop stomach problems, joint pain, decreased sexual function, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to drink a glass of warm honey water when you get up in the morning.
