Weihu takes away the blight, and the auspicious rabbit welcomes spring. This year has given us a profound understanding of the profound meaning of "health is bliss". In the new year, stick to seven healthy habits to keep you safe, healthy, healthy and happy.
1. Have a good night's sleep
Dr. Wang Zhixuan showed that having good sleep habits can make sleep quality more efficient and immunity stronger. Many people have experienced a period of sleepless torture after "yangkang", and only then become more aware of the importance of sleep.
Despite temporary difficulty falling asleep, give yourself a little time to adjust and it will improve after 7-10 days of recovery rest. Therefore, it is recommended to fall asleep a little earlier every day to enhance the quality of sleep.
2. Stick to eating one apple a day
Physician Gong Xue pointed out that apples are rich in pectin, which can effectively prevent constipation, and flavonoids can also play a good antioxidant effect. Heating apples will not affect their nutrients, because potassium, pectin, etc. are not afraid of heat, so steamed apples are very friendly to the elderly with poor stomach.
"One apple a day, the doctor stays away from me", in fact, not only apples, half a kilogram of fruit a day is also very important for health. Eating 2-3 2-3 two-weight fruits a day, or 1 and a half kilograms of fruit, can meet the daily intake of half a kilogram of fruit, so as to achieve the role of healthy nutrition.
3. Drink plenty of water
When thirsty, it is recommended to drink a small amount of active water, especially in the dry winter climate, drinking more water helps to keep the nasal mucosa moist, thereby effectively preventing the virus invasion. After getting up, Professor Xia Pengbin, a dietitian in the Department of Clinical Nutrition, reminded in an article in the Health Times that at this time, platelet activity increases, blood viscosity increases, and drinking water can reduce blood viscosity, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots.
Drink plenty of water before going to bed to relieve the thickening of blood viscosity and reduce the risk of cerebral thrombosis. Seniors can keep a glass of water next to their bed to make it easier to drink whenever they are thirsty. It is recommended that adults drink 7-8 cups of water (1500-1700 ml) a day, and it is recommended to drink warm boiled water and drink less sugary drinks.
4. Stick to eating one egg a day
One egg a day is an effective way to boost immunity and health. Eggs contain high-quality protein, its protein content is about 13%, the amino acid composition is very close to the human body's needs, the variety of vitamins is complete, minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium, etc. are also rich.
Therefore, Professor Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Medical Center for Infectious Diseases, pointed out in the live broadcast of the new crown prevention and treatment health lecture hall that protein intake and nutritional strengthening are particularly important for the elderly to enhance their resistance to the new crown virus.
5. Eat more foods with high protein content such as fish and shrimp
One saying is that "four legs are not as good as two, and two legs are not as good as those without legs", where "without legs" refers to fish. To stay healthy, it is recommended to eat fish at least once a week. Fish and poultry are preferred animal foods, they are low in fat, and fish is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids.
6. Keep your mood up
Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in a public science lecture in 2018 that half of the disease is mental illness, and half of health is mental health, so it is particularly important to maintain health and adjust good emotions.
Especially women, make more friends, stabilize their emotions, maintain a good mood every day, and fight the anxiety of the new crown virus in order to stay healthy.
7. Stick to wearing a mask
At present, the new crown epidemic in China is still in different stages of epidemic, in order to protect our health, we need to insist on wearing masks correctly, especially in crowded places. Li Liuyi, director of the Division of Infection Management and Disease Prevention and Control at Peking University First Hospital, reminded in a live broadcast in December 2022 that medical masks or surgical masks can be selected in low-risk daily life or work environments.
Under normal circumstances, if you wear N95 masks for a long time, it is easy to hold your breath, lack oxygen, and be harmful to the heart and immunity, so in high-risk environments, such as when going to the hospital fever clinic, choose medical protective masks as needed.
