How to Restore Your Body to Its Most Perfect State
How to restore your body to its most perfect state, I will correct you from five points: posture, diet, skincare, sleep habits, and exercise, to forge your perfect state. [cite: 2]
Posture:
Do you think that having a hunched back and looking unattractive is due to your bad habits? In fact, the bigger problem comes from your emotions[cite: 2]. Whenever you are self-conscious, stressed, or negative, your body will be in a protective posture, which will constantly aggravate your problems of forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and hunched back[cite: 2]. How to solve it? First, strengthen your self-confidence and don't lower your head and hunch your chest when you see people. Second, strengthen your back muscles and adjust your breathing. Third, reduce negative emotions, don't live negatively, and don't work under high pressure. This is the most important point, and your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Diet:
When your body is in a state of semi-starvation for a long time, your ability to resist stress will decrease, and anxiety and mental attrition will occur[cite: 2]. High-sugar foods can help you fight this emotion, but only in moderation. Too much will make your emotions unstable, irritable, and depressed[cite: 2]. Foods such as milk tea, cakes, and pastries should be eaten at regular times and in fixed quantities. This is the insulin-regulated schedule of 7 am, 12 pm, and 7 pm, with a cumulative one-hour window before or after. Following this dietary pattern will bring your body one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Skincare:
Do you really understand your skin type? Even if you do, do you know how to treat it correctly? First, you must identify your skin type. Now wash your face, dry it, and let it sit for half an hour. At this time, some people will feel nothing, then you have neutral skin, usually characterized by not being prone to acne, good skin elasticity, neither dry nor oily. Many men's skin is like this, very resistant to dryness, and the skin is still very good even without skin care products. Some people have dry and tight faces. I suggest applying some lotion after drying. Some people have oily faces, and no amount of oil removal seems to work. I'll put the oil removal method at the end. These are common skin types. I will teach you a set of face washing methods. During the day, try not to use facial cleanser, wash your face with cold water, and dry the water with a towel. At night, wash your face with warm water. Be sure to wash your hands before washing your face, and use facial cleanser to clean your face in circular motions. Then pat dry with a towel before applying skincare. For oily skin, it's not about using the best products to remove oil, but about maintaining regular sleep, a light diet, avoiding excessive late nights and cleansing, and remember to touch your face less with your hands. This will bring you one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Sleep Habits:
Nowadays, people generally have difficulty falling asleep, and irregular sleep often leads to poor physical and mental states. Why do you have difficulty falling asleep? In fact, a big reason is that you have confused the concept of the bed. Because as long as you do some things you usually do, such as eating, playing games, and using your phone, in bed, your brain is prone to form a conditioned reflex. What you need to do is establish the connection with the bed, so that the conditioned reflex becomes bed equals sleep. Don't use your phone while telling yourself how long you have to fall asleep. Do not touch your phone for 20 minutes before bed. Games and videos have an addictive mechanism that will make your brain excited, and the light from your phone will also keep you awake. You can listen to some music before bed, and you should set a timer, as playing it all night will make you sleep poorly. As long as you maintain long-term regular sleep, your sleep habits will be healthy. The standard for staying up late is sleeping less than seven hours and having an irregular sleep cycle. Good sleep habits will give you plenty of physical strength and energy, and your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Exercise:
When the body is in a state of inactivity for a long time, emotions tend to become low, anxious, and sensitive, making it difficult to feel happy, and the skin will also become dull, yellow, and sagging, and the body is extremely prone to gaining weight[cite: 2]. So how should you exercise reasonably? Complete at least 150 minutes to 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise per week, including jogging, swimming, climbing stairs, cycling, etc., and also incorporate some strength training, such as dumbbells and some fitness equipment. With sufficient exercise, emotions will become optimistic, the spirit will become more resilient, and the skin will also improve. If you usually don't like to eat fruits and vegetables, don't like exercise, and often stay up late, it is recommended to supplement with one vitamin C tablet daily. Exercise changes not only the external appearance, but also greatly changes the inner self. When your body masters these five points I mentioned, your body will reach a perfect state. Next, I will build you up from the five points of heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidney, to restore your body to its perfect state[cite: 2].
Heart:
The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, bearing the important responsibility of the human circulatory system. Heart health has a vital impact on human health, so understanding heart health knowledge is a must for everyone. Below, I will introduce some points of heart health knowledge for you[cite: 2].
Maintain healthy eating habits
Heart health is closely related to eating habits. High-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-calorie foods are the "killers" of heart health. Improper diet can cause problems such as increased blood lipids, increased blood pressure, and unstable blood sugar, leading to cardiovascular diseases[cite: 2]. Therefore, we need to minimize the intake of high-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-calorie foods, and eat more fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts and other foods rich in healthy nutrients[cite: 2].
Maintain regular exercise habits
Moderate physical exercise can enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve heart health. Performing 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week can reduce the risk of heart disease. We can choose low-intensity exercises such as walking, jogging, and swimming, and gradually increase the intensity and frequency of exercise, but we need to gradually adapt according to our own physical conditions[cite: 2].
Control blood lipids
Elevated blood lipids are a major risk factor for heart disease. Excessively high blood lipids can lead to arteriosclerosis, narrowing and deterioration of blood vessels, thereby causing heart health problems. We need to control our diet, choose low-fat, low-cholesterol foods, and increase exercise as much as possible, avoiding prolonged sitting, which can lead to increased blood lipids[cite: 2].
Quit smoking and alcohol
Smoking and drinking are detrimental to heart health. Nicotine and alcohol can damage the heart and blood vessels. Smoking and drinking can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and constrict coronary arteries, thereby increasing resistance and causing increased heart load, leading to heart disease[cite: 2].
Persist in heart health check-ups
Annual physical examinations can detect heart health problems in a timely manner, such as: hypertension, arrhythmia, arteriosclerosis, etc. If there is a family history of heart disease, high work pressure, irregular life and other high-risk factors, annual check-ups should be strengthened[cite: 2].
Liver:
The liver is known as the largest, busiest, and only regenerative internal organ in the human body. The liver has more than 500 functions, the common functions are detoxification, synthesis, metabolism, regeneration and so on. Simply put, the toxins produced in the human body are detoxified by the liver. For example, alcohol is processed by the liver and eventually becomes water and carbon dioxide, while the clotting factors and blood proteins we need are synthesized by the liver. Compared to the global incidence of liver cancer of 0.01%, the incidence of fatty liver in adults in China is as high as 29.9%. The treatment methods for liver disease mainly include drug therapy, artificial liver therapy and liver transplantation. The treatment costs for each of these are very expensive. To have a healthy liver, you must adjust your diet, exercise, and mindset. Eliminate late-night barbecues and all high-oil and high-salt foods, and refuse to stay up late. Adjust your mindset, exercise moderately, and you will always have a healthy liver. Your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Spleen:
The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the human body. Lymph is composed of lymphocytes and lymph fluid, distributed throughout the body, and is an important component of the immune system. Therefore, the spleen is also a very important immune organ in the human body[cite: 2].
How to take care of your spleen:
Pay attention to keeping warm:
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang and the invasion of wind and dampness into the body. Most diseases are caused by not taking adequate measures to keep warm. In spring, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and taking off thick clothes too early can lead to dampness entering the body. Dampness and cold are very harmful to the spleen. They accumulate in the spleen, leading to indigestion, stomach pain, and gastrointestinal inflammation. Keep warm daily and pay attention to temperature changes, especially keeping your abdomen warm[cite: 2].
Moderate massage:
Frequent abdominal massage can also strengthen the spleen. Place your hands near the navel and gently rub clockwise and counterclockwise 60 times each. Be careful not to use too much force and not to massage for too long. You can also massage the Zu San Li acupoint when lying in bed, which can also regulate the spleen and stomach[cite: 2].
Maintain a positive and optimistic mood:
A positive mood can make people physically and mentally healthy, and can also regulate yin and yang, balance qi and blood. Smooth qi and clear mind are a major factor in maintaining good health. Medical research has shown that a positive and optimistic mood can stimulate the central nervous system, and the excitement of the central nervous system can enhance the brain's regulation of the body. The body's digestion, absorption, secretion, and excretion are all affected by mood. Therefore, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude can improve spleen deficiency[cite: 2].
Appropriate exercise:
Life lies in exercise. There are many forms of exercise, such as: running, mountain climbing, rock climbing, brisk walking, yoga, etc. Regular participation in sports can effectively stimulate intestinal peristalsis, improve digestion and absorption capacity. At the same time, it can also strengthen the body's metabolism and eliminate toxins. At the same time, exercise can accelerate the body's qi and blood balance, which helps regulate spleen deficiency[cite: 2].
Scientific eating habits:
To improve the symptoms of spleen deficiency, you need to eat regularly and in fixed quantities every day, and achieve a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables, a combination of coarse and fine grains, not being picky about food, and not being partial to certain foods. In addition to staple foods, you should also eat more vegetables and fruits, which helps digestion. You can also supplement vitamins and trace elements. Usually eat less raw and cold food. Do not eat too many fried foods, raw and cold foods. In this way, your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Stomach:
It has a completely independent nervous system, so it is called the second brain of the human body. Therefore, your daily negative emotions will affect your stomach. People under high pressure often have stomach acid reflux. In addition to seeking medical attention in time, this is also a warning from the body. So what should we do when we are anxious or depressed? First of all, reduce the negative energy in life. Often a good living environment will always give you a good mood, and a good appearance and figure will greatly increase your self-confidence. Remember, never deny yourself, let yourself maintain a negative mood, stay away from negative people and things in daily life, and you must have the habit of long-distance running. It will give you a good attitude and the courage to face difficulties. One more thing is to eat less processed food. Do these things, and you will definitely have a healthy stomach. Your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
Kidney:
What can a healthy kidney bring? The kidney governs the bones and produces marrow. This marrow refers to bone marrow and spinal cord. The spinal cord connects to the brain. Li Shizhen said that the brain is the mansion of the primordial spirit. The kidney has a certain influence on your thinking, memory, and attention. The kidney opens into the ears. People with healthy kidneys generally have good hearing, while hearing loss and tinnitus are warnings to you. The health of the kidney is reflected in the hair. People with healthy kidneys generally have dark and thick hair that is not prone to falling out. Sufficient kidney qi means abundant energy, especially after rest. So how should we protect our kidneys? First of all, ensure your daily water intake is as low as possible. You can choose sea salt for salt, and keep the amount at about six grams. Do not hold back urine daily. In terms of exercise, I recommend doing Kegel exercises, which will greatly improve you. In terms of diet, you can eat some black foods, such as black goji berries, black sesame seeds, mulberries, etc. And so on, having a strong kidney, your body is one step closer to perfect condition[cite: 2].
