everyone is busy every day and doesn’t care about some ordinary small things. In fact, if you take three minutes to do some things and learn to steal time, it will also be of great benefit to your health. Mastering the “three minute health rule” can make you have unexpected health, From now on, do it quickly.
1. Stay in bed for three minutes after waking up
in cases of stroke and sudden death, nearly 25% of people get up in the morning. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people with high blood pressure and heart disease should not get up in a hurry after waking up, but should close their eyes in bed for three minutes before getting up. The body can maintain the original posture and properly move the limbs, head and neck, so that the blood pressure will not fluctuate too much.
2. Brush your teeth for three minutes
the basic principle of brushing your teeth is “everything”, that is, all angles of the outside, inside and occlusal surface of the teeth should be considered. After calculation, about 80 tooth surfaces need to be cleaned, and a toothbrush can only brush two or three teeth at the same time. Therefore, brushing teeth for three minutes each time can ensure that all teeth are cleaned.
3. Boil the water for three minutes after boiling
chlorinated tap water, in which chlorine combined with residual organic matter in the water will produce halogenated hydrocarbons, chloroform and other carcinogenic compounds. Experiments show that the content of this substance is closely related to the change of water temperature and boiling time. After boiling the water for another 3 minutes, its content can be reduced to the safest drinking standard.
4. Eat hot and drink cold every three minutes
after eating hot dishes, blood vessels will expand. At this time, if you eat a lot of cold food, blood vessels will contract sharply, blood pressure will increase, and dizziness, nausea, stomach pain, abdominal distension and other symptoms will appear. Therefore, it is best not to eat food with strong temperature contrast in a short time. Even if you want to drink cold drinks to quench your thirst after eating hot food, you should interval more than three minutes.
5. Make tea with boiling water for three minutes
everyone can drink tea, but brewing may not be proper. It is recommended to soak the tea for three minutes first, pour out the water and then brew for three minutes. The best water temperature is 70 ℃ ~ 80 ℃. The tea made in this way has good color, aroma and taste. This is because when tea is immersed in high-temperature water for a long time, a large number of substances such as tea polyphenols and tannins will be leached, making the tea color thick and bitter. At the same time, due to the high water temperature, the aromatic oil in tea will quickly volatilize and a large amount of tannic acid and theophylline will seep out, which not only reduces the nutritional value of tea, reduces the aroma of tea, but also increases the number of harmful substances. After making tea for three minutes, the caffeine in the tea basically seeps out. Tea at this time can refresh the mind.
6. Press the inner corner of the eye for three minutes after dropping the eye drops
many people have the same confusion: after dropping the eye drops, the mouth often feels bitter like taking medicine. This is because people’s five senses are interlinked. Eye drops will flow from the nasolacrimal duct into the nasal cavity and then into the mouth. After dropping eye drops, it’s best to close your eyes gently and press the inner corner of your eye with your index finger for three minutes. In this way, it can not only prevent the liquid medicine from being absorbed into the blood by the nasal mucosa after entering the nasolacrimal duct, but also prolong the residence time of the liquid medicine on the surface of the eyeball, so as to make the efficacy more sufficient.
7. Be angry for no more than three minutes
ten minutes of life Qi consumes no less energy than participating in a 3000 meter race. What’s more serious is that the physiological reaction when angry is very intense. The secretion is more complex and toxic than any other emotion secretion. Therefore, it is difficult for angry people to live a long life. When people are angry, their blood pressure rises instantly. People in poor health, especially the elderly, are prone to cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease and myocardial infarction. Therefore, you should not be angry for more than three minutes. Even if you are angry, you should come and go quickly, vent as soon as possible, and try your best to maintain emotional stability.
8. Toileting for no more than three minutes
when defecating, the intestinal tract bears more than ten to tens of kilograms of pressure per square centimeter. Reading or smoking during defecation often leads to too long defecation time. If this is often the case, it will cause sagging of intestinal mucosa and lead to habitual constipation, hemorrhoids and other diseases. Therefore, the toilet time should be controlled within three minutes.
9. Exercise interval of 3 minutes
many people have the experience of being out of breath during exercise. At this time, they should rest a little. In fact, as long as it takes only 3 minutes, people’s muscles can complete sufficient energy supplement for the next exercise. Scientists at the University of Kansas in the United States have found that even for violent sports such as basketball and badminton, a short rest of three minutes is enough. In this way, it will not allow the body to cool down quickly and prevent sports injuries such as cramps and muscle strains when exercising again. It is also enough to use this period of time to supplement water and energy, so that the muscles can get proper rest, which can contribute to longer exercise.
