Suggestions that contain a useful meaning for the body

Be happy!

Scientists have long concluded that happy people are healthier than unhappy people. If you learn to enjoy life, then even smoking, alcohol, age and other negative factors will not actively affect your well-being. The fact is that at the time of stress, the level of the hormone cortisol rises in the blood, and its excess entails an increase in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, the formation of fat deposits and a decrease in immunity. So down with stress! Chronically happy people also have lower levels of fibrogen (a protein that makes blood viscous) than unhappy people. Its high concentration is a frequent precursor to coronary heart disease. So have fun with everything: work, communication, delicious food, sun outside. And you will see how your health will get stronger, and your life will become easier and more pleasant!

Let’s talk more!

Loneliness has the same negative effects on the body as smoking and obesity. When communicating, you can discuss your problems with a loved one, not keep emotions in yourself, speak out, get advice, which means relieve stress, avoid insomnia and not get depressed. Scientists have found that gossip and distracted conversation make women healthier and happier. During casual communication, the level of progesterone increases, which reduces anxiety and counteracts stress. It was even calculated how many friends are needed for complete happiness. Ten is enough. 15–20 minutes of communication with friends every day is a great nourishment for the body. And 2-3 evenings with friends are comparable to going to the gym in terms of the received charge of vivacity.

 Let the smile never leave your face!

Even a slight smile activates the work of 17 facial muscles, and this has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and blood supply to the brain. When you smile, the muscles first contract and then relax, this requires more oxygen, breathing and pulse quicken for a short time, which normalizes the heart and stabilizes blood pressure. Immunoglobulin A and lymphocytes begin to be produced more actively, which strengthens the immune system. This means that you are not afraid of seasonal colds! When you smile, your brain releases endorphins, substances that reduce pain and bring pleasure. And laughter is generally the best medicine. It stimulates blood circulation, positively affecting the activity of the cardiovascular system. After watching a comedy in the body, the number of cells that kill germs grows. So, even if you are sick, watch humorous programs, comedies, read jokes – and your recovery will go faster. But a “working” smile, behind which you have to hide irritation, anger and tension, leads to a negative result. The person becomes aggressive and can start with one turn. Therefore, smile and laugh heartily!

Cry only for joy!

A crying person slows down breathing and heartbeat, which is why we often feel better after crying, relief comes and the soul becomes brighter (even brighter!). In addition, it is extremely harmful to restrain emotions. For example, men, who usually do not show them and accumulate in the depths of their souls, are more likely to suffer from gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, hypertension and coronary heart disease than women. According to Russian scientists, tears contain stress stimulants, from which the body is relieved. In addition, the lacrimal glands produce the enzyme lysozyme, which destroys bacterial membranes. The lacrimal fluid moisturizes the eyes, washes away debris, heals small wounds.

When looking at your feet, do not forget to raise your eyes to the sky!

Of course, looking at your step, especially in winter, is very important. This can help prevent injuries from bruises to fractures. But at the same time, we must not forget to look at the sky. Yogis, famous for their excellent health, recommend from time to time to look at the blue sky, at the setting sun. After all, if you constantly look at objects located at the same distance, for example, under your feet, the same muscle group will be fixed in a certain position for a long time. She becomes numb, overexerted, vision deteriorates. That is why it is so useful to look into the distance. Ophthalmologists, in general, with eye fatigue, advise doing a simple but effective exercise: transfer your gaze several times from distant objects to nearby ones.

Love each other!

The physical manifestation of love (kissing, hugging, sex) has a beneficial effect on the body. With a heartfelt kiss, 34 facial muscles are actively working and 150 calories are burned. What can we say about sex! The cardiovascular system is trained, more testosterone is produced, which leads to stronger bones and muscles, the endocrine gland system is stimulated and rejuvenated, the production of insulin increases, which means that sex is an excellent way to prevent type II diabetes. Endorphins and estrogens are actively produced, which have an analgesic effect. Research has shown that orgasm can replace the beneficial effects of two aspirin tablets. Add to this the active production of immunoglobulin A, which helps to strengthen the immune system, which means it is an excellent means of preventing flu and colds! After sex, thanks to the main hormone of love, oxytocin, we become kinder, calmer and happier. Consider, scientists have found that people who have sex more than 8 times a month live 10 years longer than those who prefer to just lie in front of the TV.

More light in life!

Naturally, daylight is the best. But in winter, especially in the morning and evening, it is too dark. Therefore, arranging the right light sources at home will help your eyes stay healthy. For example, it is not bad if the wall behind the TV or computer is softly backlit – this will smooth out the contrasts between shadow and light, you will strain your eyes less, which means they will be less tired. The light should not hit the eyes or flicker, it should evenly illuminate the space, without abrupt transitions from brightly lit areas to darkened ones. Lack of light causes tension, and prolonged tension leads to eye fatigue and headaches.

Breathe deeply

All cells in the body need oxygen. Correct breathing means good blood circulation and metabolism. Here are the basics of proper breathing: inhale – due to the diaphragm, the muscles of the shoulder girdle are relaxed; exhalation – calm, twice as long as inhalation; it is necessary to breathe through the nose – in this case, the air is humidified, warmed and purified, the receptors of the respiratory tract are irritated, the bronchioles expand, breathing deepens and the blood oxygen saturation increases.

By the way, the most correct breathing is mixed. First, the lower part of the lungs is quietly filled with air, while the stomach is pushed forward, then the middle one – the ribs and chest rise, and at the end, the upper part – the collarbones rise, and the stomach is pulled up to the spine. As you exhale, the stomach is pulled in, the diaphragm rises, the chest and shoulders fall. After a pause, you can continue. Such exercises should be started with 2-3 breaths, and after 3-4 weeks it should be brought to 10-15. It is better to train on an empty stomach.

Be in harmony with yourself

Many began to realize that their inner, mental state is directly related to their physical state. This is evidenced by psychosomatics – a direction in medicine and psychology that studies the influence of psychological factors on the occurrence and course of bodily diseases. After all, even back pain can mean not a bad sofa at all, but the severity of a not made decision, for example. You can change chairs, go for massages, but the pain will not go away until you sort out your internal problems. Be honest with yourself, understand the cause of the illness, listen to your feelings, and you can heal without medication. Think positively!

Be healthy!
