Four things to do in the morning and five things not to do at night

Four things to do in the morning

First, take a shower in the morning

Taking a shower in the morning is a good habit. Taking a shower in the morning can indeed help promote blood circulation. The clean feeling and the fragrance of the bath gel itself can adjust your mood and make you more energetic.

Second, do important things in the morning

Once you develop the good habit of defecating in the morning, you will benefit from it for life. If you don't have this habit yet, don't worry, you should work hard to cultivate it, such as eating more high-fiber foods, such as cabbage, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains, and going to the toilet after getting up in the morning regardless of whether you have time or not. Over time, the habit will become natural.

Third, drink water

It is a good habit to drink a glass of cold water after waking up. After a night's sleep, without a drop of water intake, people are easily dehydrated, and a glass of cold boiled water (not ice water) is a beneficial supplement; it also has a cleansing effect on the stomach and intestines.

4. Get up slowly

Try not to get up suddenly in the morning, as this will cause the blood to rush upward, resulting in sudden changes in blood pressure and causing symptoms such as dizziness. A better approach is to not get up after opening your eyes, but lie in bed and move your limbs and head, then get up after 5 minutes. If you have trouble getting up, doing some stretching exercises with your eyes closed can be very helpful in waking up.

Don't do it at 5 pm

First, don’t drink coffee

It is not advisable to drink coffee before going to bed. Many people know that caffeinated foods will stimulate the nervous system and have a certain diuretic effect, which is a common cause of insomnia. The same goes for tea.

Second, don’t eat spicy food

Eating spicy food for dinner is also an important reason that affects sleep. Chili peppers, garlic, onions, etc. can cause a burning sensation in the stomach and indigestion, which in turn affects sleep.

Third, don’t eat (flatulence)

There are also some foods that produce more gas during digestion, which causes abdominal bloating and interferes with normal sleep, such as beans, cabbage, onions, corn, bananas, etc.

Fourth, don’t drink alcohol

Many people once believed that drinking before bed could promote sleep, but recent studies have shown that although it can help people fall asleep quickly, it keeps the sleep state in the light sleep stage and makes it difficult to enter the deep sleep stage. Therefore, even if a drinker sleeps for a long time, he will still feel tired after waking up.

Fifth, don’t eat greasy food

Eating greasy food will increase the workload of the intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas, stimulate the nerve center, keep it working all the time, and also cause insomnia.
