If you gradually feel that your physical strength and energy are not as good as before, you must seize the two golden periods of health preservation, one is an hour before going to bed, and the other is a half hour after meals. These two and a half hours a day, even if you only grasp one hour, you can live ten more years.
half an hour after breakfast
open longevity meridian
After breakfast, you can massage your knees, Urgently, Wu Dazhen, deputy chairman of the Chinese Health Association, said that From the theoretical point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mainly the stomach meridian from 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning. The stomach meridian is called the "longevity meridian" in traditional Chinese medicine meridians and passes through the knee joints. About 20 minutes after the meal, repeatedly rub the knee joints with your hands to make the stomach meridian unblock.
Do not exercise half an hour after breakfast, otherwise it will cause indigestion. If the exercise intensity is high, it will also cause abdominal pain or gastrointestinal diseases, which is also dangerous for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
half an hour after lunch
close eyes to nourish the liver blood
Professor Yang Li of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that after lunch, you can close your eyes and sit quietly for 10 minutes to half an hour, which can make blood flow more to the liver, nourish the yin and remove dryness, protect the liver and digest food very well.
In the afternoon, you can find a quiet place to sit upright, close your eyes slightly, eyelids sink, abandon distracting thoughts; press the tongue against the palate, swallow body fluids; adjust your breathing evenly, and then breathe deeply and slowly, and keep your qi in your dantian. You can also gently press the ends of your index fingers on your eyes and rub them slightly until your eyes become hot and swollen.
Middle-aged and elderly people should not take a nap immediately after lunch, otherwise it will aggravate the insufficient blood supply of the heart and brain, and cause chest tightness, , dizziness, fatigue, and other discomforts. In severe cases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents may be triggered.
half hour after supper
drink water and take Renmai
American Kubo Aerobic Research Institute found that the beginning of absorption of the small intestine in the human body is about 30 minutes after supper. Drinking some water half an hour after supper can strengthen the body's digestive function. In this half hour, you can also pat Renmai, which is the middle part above the lower abdomen. There are many important acupuncture points distributed here. After eating, pat it gently from top to bottom for 20 minutes, which can help digestion and strengthen the body.
Half an hour after supper, don’t rush to drink tea, soak your feet and take a bath. A large amount of acidic substances in the tea can combine with iron, zinc, etc. in the food, causing the iron in the food to be lost. Bathing and soaking your feet will weaken the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, which is not good for the body.
1 an hour before going to bed
1. Foot soaking: help sleep and nourish the kidney
Foot is the farthest part of the heart, and it is not easy to get nutrients and blood. Soak your feet in warm water before going to bed, which is beneficial to promoting the body's blood circulation and accelerating metabolism . The golden time for foot soaking is around 9 o'clock. Soaking your feet at this time can help the kidneys relax to the greatest extent.
2. Brushing: Preventing heart disease

The most important thing is to clean the toothbrush before going to bed, which can better prevent heart disease. It is important to remind everyone that it is best to use up and down brushing when brushing teeth. Never brush horizontally, otherwise it will cause damage to the teeth and cause tooth loss.
3. Rubbing the abdomen: regulating the spleen and stomach
National-level famous old Chinese medicine doctor and director of the pediatric department of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Song Zuomin said that he often rubs his abdomen before going to bed.
The method is: lie flat and relax your whole body, press the abdomen with the left palm, fold the right hand on the back of the left hand, rotate counterclockwise for 64 weeks, then rotate clockwise for 64 weeks, and then push and press from the chest to the abdomen, from top to bottom, and push and press 64 times. The force should be gentle, so that the force can penetrate under the skin, and it should not be too strong.
Rubbing the abdomen not only can regulate the spleen and stomach and prevent diseases, but also has auxiliary therapeutic effects on many chronic diseases such as diabetes , nephritis , hypertension , coronary heart disease , pulmonary heart disease, etc.
4. Comb your hair: Lower blood pressure
Use a wooden comb before going to bed, combing it from the forehead to the back of the head, and combing it for about five minutes. It can unblock the yang energy, unblock the qi and blood, prevent hair loss and gray hair, and also lower blood pressure, prevent cerebral hemorrhage, prevent Alzheimer's disease and other symptoms.
