Lunch break for human health, and night sleep has the same effect, noon proper lunch break, not only can supplement energy, let themselves remain energetic throughout the day, but also can reduce the occurrence of some diseases.
According to medical research, a lunch break of about 60 minutes a day can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease by 30%.
But there are also people who have lost their lives because of a wrong lunch break. A 60-year-old uncle in Hubei province went to bed immediately after eating, which led to a stroke and lost his life.
However, this uncle originally had a history of hypertension and coronary heart disease, and ate very full that day, and at the same time went to sleep immediately after eating, resulting in a serious lack of blood supply to the brain, so it would lead to stroke.
Lunch breaks are good, but be sure to avoid these mistaken methods of lunch breaks
1. Go to bed as soon as you are full
In modern times, many people have a relatively short time for lunch breaks because of their work, and they have to eat and take a lunch break, thus developing the habit of taking a morning break as soon as they finish eating.
But this habit is very bad, after eating a full meal due to food to be absorbed and digested, most of the blood in the body needs to flow to the stomach, resulting in a decrease in blood supply to the brain, if you go to sleep at this time, it will lead to a serious shortage of blood supply to the brain, thereby increasing the risk of stroke.
Especially for the middle-aged and elderly, or people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, it is more dangerous, so we must not go to bed immediately as soon as we eat, but should eat and rest for 30 minutes before taking a lunch break.
2. The lunch break is too long
Generally speaking, lunch break is appropriate within 30 minutes to 60 minutes.
If it exceeds 60 minutes, the brain nerves will enter a state of inhibition, reduce the blood flow of the brain, and the metabolism of the body will slow down, so that waking up will appear dizziness and headache and other discomfort, and the whole person will be more tired, more than worth the loss.
So even if you are free in the afternoon, don't sleep too long, no more than 60 minutes at most. Generally speaking, in fact, the lunch break only needs to be 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Casually sleep
Many people think that the lunch break is short, and they are accustomed to lying on the table or leaning directly on the sofa or chair to fall asleep.
But in fact, long-term napping will not only increase the burden on the cervical spine and increase the probability of cervical spondylosis, but also affect the blood circulation of the brain, increase dizziness and headache and other discomfort, but is not conducive to physical health.
In addition, sleeping on your stomach will not only compress the eyeballs and increase eye discomfort, but also compress the chest, affecting the breathing function, and also cause discomfort such as hand numbness.
So even if the time is short, it is best to go back to bed to maintain the correct sleeping position and relax to sleep.
4. Eat too much and be too greasy before the lunch break
Although lunch should be full, it does not mean that you have to eat ten percent of the full, generally eat seven or eight full, otherwise it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and affect blood circulation.
And can not eat too greasy, otherwise it will lead to blood viscosity, and the occurrence of some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events may increase due to blood viscosity during lunch breaks.
In addition to avoiding these wrong lunch break methods, remember to drink a cup of boiled water during the lunch break, dilute the blood, and promote blood circulation, which can be more conducive to good health.
The correct lunch break has irreplaceable benefits for human health, but sometimes the wrong lunch break will damage human health, so if you want to take a healthy lunch break, you must pay attention to the method.
