01 Stay in Bed for 3 Minutes After Waking Up
Getting up too quickly can lead to dizziness, especially in middle-aged and elderly individuals, who may also experience cardiovascular accidents. Sit on the bed for a moment to wake up, rub your hands together to warm them, and wash your face several times. Once fully awake, rise slowly. 02 Avoid Opening Windows for Ventilation in the Morning In the morning, the air temperature near the ground is relatively low, causing air to sink, which contains a lot of dust and carbon dioxide, resulting in poor air quality. Wait until around 10 AM when the sun has disinfected the air before opening windows. 03 Don’t Rush to Make Your Bed After Getting Up Each bed contains at least 15 million dust mites. Dust mites thrive in dry environments, and making the bed retains body heat and sweat, creating favorable conditions for them. Instead, spread the bedding out to air it out, which is healthier. 04 Washing Your Face with Cold Water Has Many Benefits Every morning, consistently wash your face with cold water and then massage your nose. Rub the outer sides of your thumbs together to warm them, and massage along both sides of the nose for 30 times. Repeat this 1 to 2 times daily, focusing on the Yingxiang (迎香) acupoint on either side of the nostrils. This method helps the nasal cavity adapt to cold air stimulation, effectively preventing colds.05 Drink a Glass of Water Upon Waking to Prevent Thick Blood There is an old saying: “A glass of water in the morning, no regrets when old.” Drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach every morning helps moisten the intestines and aids in detoxification. 06 Don’t Spend More Than 10 Minutes in the Toilet Squatting and straining can increase pressure in the abdomen. Spending too long on the toilet can lead to relaxation and prolapse of the rectal mucosa. Remember, don’t stay on the toilet for more than 10 minutes, or you may easily develop hemorrhoids. 07 Don’t Drink Alcohol Right After Taking Medicine Medications are metabolized by the liver, and drinking alcohol after taking medicine increases the burden on the liver and affects the efficacy of the medication. Ingredients in anti-inflammatory drugs can react with alcohol, producing toxic substances. Cephalosporin antibiotics can cause a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol, posing a direct threat to life. 08 Disinfectant Alcohol: Higher Concentration Isn’t Always Better Low-concentration alcohol cannot effectively kill viruses. If the concentration is too high, it forms a protective layer on the virus’s surface, rendering it ineffective. Generally, 75% alcohol is optimal for disinfection. 09 Wash Underwear and Socks Separately A dirty pair of underwear can carry an average of 0.1 grams of feces. Secretions are mostly proteins, and if not cleaned promptly, they can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria. Socks, which are not breathable in shoes, can lead to cross-infection of bacteria and fungi when washed together. 10 Change Your Toothbrush Every 3 Months On average, a toothbrush contains 10 million microorganisms, so never share it with others. Change your toothbrush every 3 months, and it’s best to store it in a closed cabinet to avoid contamination from the bathroom.
11 The Best Foot Soaking Temperature is 40-45 Degrees Celsius The water temperature for soaking feet should be slightly higher than normal body temperature. It’s important to note that for individuals with underlying health conditions, the water temperature should not be too high, as it can cause dilation of blood vessels in the lower limbs, leading to insufficient blood supply to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. 12 Don’t Boil Soup for More Than 2 Hours Boiling soup for too long increases the purine content. Drinking milky white soup can significantly raise the risk of gout. The longer the cooking time, the more nutrients from the food will gradually be lost. 13 Eat at Home as Much as Possible, Less at Restaurants Eating three meals a day at home is cleaner and more hygienic. Remember this saying: a handful of vegetables, a handful of beans, an egg, and a bit of meat, along with enough grains. 14 Hot Foods Can Easily Cause Cancer As the saying goes: “Don’t eat ice-cold food, don’t eat scalding food.” The esophageal mucosa is thin and soft, making it susceptible to temperature stimuli. Foods that are too cold, too hot, or rough can cause damage, ulceration, and bleeding. Repeated regeneration of the mucosa can gradually form cancer cells, directly inducing esophageal cancer. 15 If You Want a Strong Body, Chew Your Food Thoroughly Chewing food thoroughly helps create a feeling of fullness and prevents overeating. Saliva also aids in digestion and reduces the burden on the stomach and intestines. 16 Don’t Eat Leftover Food Whether it’s cold dishes or hot dishes, it is not recommended to eat food that has been left overnight. Leftover food contains a large amount of nitrite, and excessive intake can lead to poisoning. Symptoms may include headache, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal bloating, and in severe cases, multiple organ failure may occur. 17 Don’t Wash Your Hair When Full, Don’t Bathe When Hungry When hungry, blood is supplied to the central nervous system. Taking a hot bath at this time can lead to blood deficiency and hypoxia, resulting in hypoglycemic reactions. After eating, don’t wash your hair immediately; it’s best to wait an hour after eating before bathing or washing your hair. 18 Don’t Wash Your Hair First When Bathing Washing your hair first causes blood to suddenly pool in the head. This can lead to poor blood flow in the head, potentially triggering cardiovascular issues. The correct bathing order is to rinse the limbs first, then wash your hair after adapting to the water temperature. 19 Avoid Intense Exercise Before Bed Engaging in intense exercise before sleep can excite the brain and affect sleep quality. Light exercises such as walking, jogging, or yoga an hour after meals can help improve sleep quality. 20 Choosing the Wrong Pillow Can Make You More Tired The human cervical spine has a natural curve, and the pillow height should be between 8-12 cm. A pillow that is too low can lead to excessive blood flow to the brain, causing puffiness upon waking. A pillow that is too high can cause the cervical spine to lose support, leading to neck pain upon waking.21 Don’t Sleep on Stones in Summer, on Boards in Autumn, Expose Your Abdomen in Spring, or Cover Your Head in Winter Covering your head while sleeping can lead to breathing difficulties. High carbon dioxide concentration in the bedding can cause brain hypoxia. Continuous inhalation of humid air can be extremely harmful to the brain. 22 Snoring Can Lead to Death for Dozens of People Each Year Statistics show that 3-5 out of every 100 people snore, and among every 5 snorers, one has obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This can lead to long-term hypoxia in the body, ultimately causing multi-system dysfunction, and in severe cases, even sudden death during sleep. 23 Crying Freely Can Naturally Heal Illnesses Tears contain a large amount of catecholamines, which are usually secreted by the adrenal glands. They can regulate physiological functions in the body, thus relieving stress and soothing emotions. 24 Boil Water for 3 Minutes After It Boils Tap water undergoes chlorination for disinfection during processing. After boiling water, boiling it again for a while helps to volatilize residual chlorine. During boiling, calcium substances form, and the longer the boiling time, the more beneficial it is for calcium precipitation in the water. 25 Looking Down at Your Phone Puts 45 Pounds of Pressure on Your Cervical Spine When looking down at a 45-degree angle, the pressure on the neck muscles reaches 45 pounds, equivalent to a bag of flour hanging from your neck. At a 60-degree angle, this pressure increases to 54 pounds, equivalent to a 6-year-old child sitting on your neck.26 Crossing Your Legs is Harmful to Your Health Crossing your legs can lead to slouching. This causes uneven pressure distribution on the lumbar, thoracic, and spinal vertebrae. The pelvis can rotate the spine, causing excessive stretching of the muscles. Over time, this may lead to spinal distortion or scoliosis. 27 Losing 100 Hairs a Day is Considered Hair Loss On average, a person loses about 50-100 hairs daily. However, if hair loss exceeds 100 hairs daily for more than 3 months, it’s time to be cautious about hair loss. 28 Wipe from Front to Back After Using the Toilet Whether for bowel or bladder movements, it’s best to wipe from front to back. The defense against pathogenic bacteria decreases from strong to weak, respectively, from the anus, vagina, to the urethra. Wiping from front to back can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. 29 Prolonged Sitting Can Lead to Various Health Issues Prolonged sitting can increase body fat and decrease muscle mass, gradually leading to obesity. Blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels can significantly rise, and varicose veins may develop. Stand up and walk around every hour to promote blood circulation.30 Your Phone is Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat According to reports, the surface of a phone can harbor up to 2000 types of bacteria, making it 18 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Many people use their phones constantly, even while eating. Wiping it with alcohol wipes can significantly reduce bacteria, but hands should be cleaned simultaneously.【Disclaimer: We respect original content and the dissemination of health knowledge.
