Sleeping is the golden period for beauty, and developing three small habits before going to bed can help you delay aging and prevent skin problems caused by age from bothering you. 1. Move before going to bed to show off your toned body Before going to bed, you can do some simple exercises in bed to relax your body, which is also good for your physical and mental health! First, lie on the bed, lift your legs up, and massage from top to bottom. Keep your legs lifted and don't put them down, or lie against the wall in an L shape. This movement can help lose fat in your calves. Then lie flat with your legs suspended in the air at 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and 30 degrees respectively. Stay at each angle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or as long as you can hold. This exercise can shape the thigh muscles. You can also lie on your stomach on the bed with your legs tucked in front of your chest, your chest pressed against your thighs, your arms straight out and clamped beside your ears, with your elbows to your palms pressed against the bed. This action can help eliminate stool. 2. Use five fingers to comb your hair and keep it in place We know that there are several important acupoints on the human body concentrated on the head, and the stimulation during the combing process can have a massage effect. First, use a comb to comb your hair, starting from the forehead and combing from top to bottom with moderate force. Then use your fingers to gently massage your scalp, comb the hair from the roots of the ears, neck and forehead to the top of the head, and then focus on rubbing the top of the head. Repeat this more than 30 times until you feel your scalp tingling. Such movements can help unclog the blood flow to the brain and ensure that the brain gets adequate oxygen. Thereby achieving the effects of improving memory, protecting hair roots, strengthening hair follicles, and eliminating brain fatigue. 3. Soak your feet in hot water to promote blood circulation The feet are the farthest part of the human body from the heart, and it is not easy for them to get oxygen and blood. In addition, it is winter now, so the blood vessels are more easily stimulated by the cold, causing the blood vessels to contract and making blood supply difficult. However, the feet are another concentrated area of acupuncture points in the human body. If the blood supply is insufficient, it will affect the normal functioning of multiple parts such as the liver and kidneys. Therefore, soaking your feet in warm water before going to bed is beneficial for promoting blood circulation in the body and accelerating metabolism. What’s special is that you can add Chinese herbal medicine to the water for foot bathing. Because there are many tendons, veins and acupoints on the feet, they can absorb the medicinal ingredients in the water very well. If you want to relieve the cold pain in your waist and legs by soaking your feet, you can add angelica and Chuanxiong; if you want to relieve dizziness, you can add chrysanthemum and Prunella Vulgaris; if you want to remove dryness and athlete's foot, you can add mugwort, etc. |
