1, Tips for Men's Winter Health
1, massage 3 acupoints.
Stimulating three acupoints can improve local blood circulation, prevent inflammation in autumn and winter, and improve immunity. These three acupoints are Dazhui (below the most prominent vertebra behind the neck when lowering the head), Quchi (the outer end of the elbow transverse stripes formed by bending the elbow at right angles, and then moving outward 1.5 inch), and Fengmen (Dazhui moves two joints downward, and then moves one and a half fingers left and right). You can press and rub each acupoint with your middle finger for 2-3 minutes.
2. Take Ganoderma lucidum as an example
Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharide with anticancer effect and rich germanium, which can accelerate metabolism, delay cell aging and enhance human immunity. You can cook porridge with Ganoderma lucidum, cut Ganoderma lucidum into pieces of 1 ~ 3 mm, fry with water, take the juice and cook it with rice, or add 5g of Ganoderma lucidum powder after porridge is cooked. MH recommends Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, 65438+ 0 ~ 2 spoonfuls per day, which is better when combined with other foods to enhance immunity. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder has become a tonic recognized by health experts to enhance immunity.
3. Vitamin supplements
Vitamins play an important role in human immune system. When the body resists foreign invasion, the number and vitality of various immune cells are related to vitamins. Therefore, in the cold season of autumn and winter, don't forget to take vitamin C tablets every day, and you can also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwifruit and oranges. In order to keep the respiratory mucosa moist, vitamin A should be supplemented. The best sources are fennel, carrots and cabbage. In addition, often eat a pinch of walnuts or sunflower seeds, which is rich in vitamin E.
Step 4 vaccinate
Vaccination is definitely a good way to improve immunity. It is the best immunostimulant, which can enhance the body's disease resistance and greatly improve the effectiveness of immune cells in catching viruses. According to the previous data, more than 90% people have raised their antibodies to the protection level (that is, effectively fighting the virus) after being vaccinated with influenza vaccine. In addition to the flu vaccine, you can also get a cold virus vaccine. It is best to inject once a year.
5. Kiss your lover before going to work
Our oral saliva contains a large number of bacteria (beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria), 80% of which exist in everyone, and the other 20% are different. With kissing, these bacteria will change their positions. For the oral cavity, this means that if an "enemy" invades, the immune system will immediately enter a state of readiness and start the antibody production program, which will greatly promote the immune cells to improve their functions. Remember to kiss your lover before going to work every day. The mode of "healthy kissing" is to stare at each other and kiss for 3 minutes.
6.an onion a day
Taking sweetened onion juice can enhance the body's resistance. Onion contains a lot of natural antibiotics, which has strong bactericidal ability, and can kill and inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Diphtheria, Shigella, Tuberculosis and Escherichia coli. Scientific experiments show that raw onion has better anti-immune effect than cooked onion. If you chew raw onions for 3 minutes, you can kill all the bacteria in your mouth. Of course, it is necessary to eat a piece of chewing gum after taking it.
7. Kiwifruit prevents constipation
Intestinal diseases are regarded as one of the biggest threats to health, and long-term constipation indicates potential patients. One of the adverse consequences is decreased immunity. There are many ways to solve constipation. MH recommends "kiwi therapy"-two kiwis a day. Dr An, an associate professor at the Medical College of HKU, recently conducted a special study on the effect of dietary fiber in kiwifruit on improving the intestinal tract of constipation patients in China. The results showed that after eating two kiwifruits every day for four weeks, the overall defecation situation of about 54.5% subjects was obviously improved, and the average number of natural complete defecation per week increased from 2.2 to 4.4, and the retention time of feces in the intestine was shortened by 27%. The secret is that kiwifruit is rich in dietary fiber, which helps to produce softer feces and help to excrete.
8. Wash your hands up to 8 times a day.
Scientific research has found that cold viruses can survive for 2 hours on hands and 72 hours on hard surfaces. When a person with a cold touches his nose, he catches a cold virus on his hand and carries it everywhere. Frequent hand washing can minimize the risk of respiratory tract infection and influenza, but you can't expect to kill bacteria once and for all by washing your hands with soap, you can only rinse them off one by one. However, you should not wash your hands often, or your skin will become dry. The upper limit of hand washing is 8 times a day.
9, often drink carrot milk
Carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, but it will only be absorbed by the human body in a fat environment. Milk can provide fat and enhance immunity, so carrots and milk are "golden partners" on the immune front. When making carrot milk, you should steam carrots, then add milk and honey, put them in a blender and smash them before drinking.
10, breathe fresh air.
Fresh air can help blood flow smoothly, promote vital capacity and circulatory system, and is a wonderful recipe to restore mental vitality and promote immune system. Therefore, in autumn and winter, open the window for half an hour every morning and evening for ventilation, or often go for a walk outdoors. Letting respiratory mucosa receive some cold air stimulation is also an exercise of respiratory disease resistance, which can improve immunity.
1 1, drink plenty of water.
Adequate water in the body can keep the respiratory mucosa moist, and it is difficult for cold viruses to multiply quickly. Nutritionists suggest that children should drink more water when their daily drinking volume is 40 ml according to their weight. The best drinks are water, mixed drinks (mineral water or soda mixed with apple juice), fruit tea or herbal tea. Drink less coffee, alcoholic drinks and alcohol. Sports nutrition experts point out that the principle of drinking water is to drink after being thirsty.
12, sleep in autumn and winter 1 hour.
Good sleep can significantly increase the number of two kinds of immune cells in the body, while lack of sleep will reduce the function of the immune system and increase the chance of illness. The cold weather in autumn and winter is the season with frequent diseases, so sleep time should be increased by one hour, so that the immune system can recover from busyness and fatigue, and wake up feeling refreshed the next morning. You might as well give it a try, and your body will thank you for your efforts!
13, regular moderate exercise
Diseases that are prone to occur in cold weather are related to the heart and lungs. Cardiopulmonary health can reduce the incidence in autumn and winter. Appropriate moderate-intensity exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance human immunity. Moderate exercise means that the speed of the exercise center reaches 60%~70% of the maximum heart rate (220 minus one's age). For example, the maximum heart rate of a 25-year-old person is 220-25= 195, and the heart rate should be controlled between 195×60% and 195×70% during exercise. The exercises recommended by fitness experts include walking, swimming and jogging.
14, three meals regularly
Sit down to eat when it's time to eat. The food intake per meal is similar, the gastrointestinal volume remains stable, and the digestion ability is good. This perfect program will be recorded in the DNA sequence of the body. Under this program, the biological clock swings at the same rhythm every day, and all the functions of the body are in the best state, and the immunity is maintained at the highest level.
15, listening to music before going to bed
9~ 1 1 in the evening is the time for the human immune system to repair, and the body needs to maintain a relaxed and calm state, so that the immune system can have a better rest. The beta wave released by music can stimulate the pituitary gland and play a certain role in promoting and intervening the regulation of the immune system, while classical music belonging to bass wave is the first in music, which will make the mood more peaceful.
