Take a shower in the morning
Taking a shower in the morning is a good habit. Morning showers do help promote better blood circulation, and the feeling of cleanliness along with the fragrance of the shower gel can improve mood and make you feel more energized.
Morning bowel movement
Once the good habit of having a bowel movement in the morning is developed, you will benefit for life. If you don't have this habit yet, don't worry; work hard to cultivate it. For example, eat more high-fiber foods, such as cabbage, sweet potatoes, and other coarse grains, and go to the bathroom every morning after getting up, whether you feel the need or not. Over time, the habit will become natural.
Drink warm water in the morning
Drinking a glass of warm water after waking up is a good habit. After a night's sleep without any water intake, a glass of warm water is a beneficial supplement and warms the stomach, which also helps cleanse the digestive system.
Get up slowly
In the morning, try not to get up abruptly, as this can cause blood to rush upward, leading to sudden changes in blood pressure and symptoms such as dizziness. A better approach is to keep your eyes open but stay lying down, moving your limbs and head for about 5 minutes before getting up. If you have trouble getting up, you can close your eyes and do some stretching movements with your limbs, which will greatly help you wake up.
No coffee
It is not advisable to drink coffee before bedtime. Many people know that foods containing caffeine stimulate the nervous system and have a diuretic effect, which is a common cause of insomnia. In traditional Chinese medicine, coffee tastes slightly bitter and astringent; it is warm in nature and can help to refresh the mind, promote diuresis, and aid digestion. Tea is the same...
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.
Don't get bloated
Some foods produce more gas during digestion, causing bloating and interfering with normal sleep, such as beans, Chinese cabbage, onions, corn, bananas, etc. In addition, it is also important to avoid overeating hard-to-digest foods, especially for those with weak spleen and stomach, as it can not only cause stomach bloating but also increase the burden on the spleen and stomach.
Don't drink alcohol
Drinking alcohol before bed was once thought by many to promote sleep, but recent studies have shown that although it can help people fall asleep quickly, it keeps the sleep state in a light sleep phase and makes it difficult to enter deep sleep. Therefore, even if people who drink sleep for a long time, they still feel tired upon waking.
Don't be greasy
Eating greasy food increases the workload of the intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, stimulates the central nervous system, and can also cause insomnia.
