When it comes to health preservation, everyone will think of what to eat. What I recommend today is not a tonic, nor a diet, but a habit. This longevity recipe doesn’t cost you a penny, but the benefits are endless.
Chinese medicine master Wang Lie has been a doctor for more than 50 years, and has diagnosed and treated 600,000 patients. Because he sees hundreds of patients every day, he sits for five or six hours. As time goes on, dizziness, chest tightness, waist and abdomen strains follow one after another. .
As a doctor, Professor Wang Lie immediately adjusted his strategy. Since 1990, Wang Lie has changed from "sitting consultation" to "standing consultation", which has persisted for more than 30 years.
Every time the child who came to see a doctor was lying or sitting on the bed, Wang Lie would stand aside to see the doctor for several hours at a time.
Of course, standing for medical treatment is not motionless. During the diagnosis and treatment process, the waist and legs are constantly moving.
After a period of time when the sitting clinic was changed to an established clinic, Professor Wang Lie's previous series of health problems miraculously disappeared! Over the years, Professor Wang Lie has summed up the benefits of outpatient clinics:
To prevent cervical spondylosis, this disease is a doctor's occupational disease. If you bow your head for a long time and don't move your cervical spine for a long time, cervical spondylosis will come to you.
Second, to prevent coronary heart disease, the heart controls the blood vessels and stores the spirit, and the combination of movement and stillness is beneficial to the heart, while sitting for a long time will cause qi and blood to be stagnant and prone to coronary heart disease.
Three prevention of prostate disease, sedentary qi and blood imbalance, can be described as worse for the elderly.
Four prevention of anal disease, all people who sit for a long time, the anorectal qi and blood are not smooth, and the disease will be caused by stasis.
Five cancer prevention, cancer is found in all parts of the human body, the disease is caused by poisonous qi and blood, sedentary qi and blood injury, will certainly contribute to the occurrence of cancer.
Not only Wang Lie, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, but also experts from all over the world are persuading everyone to stand more and sit less.
At present, chairs and sofas have become the closest companions of human beings.
After waking up, people spend more than 60% of their time sitting, an average of more than 9 hours, and half of that time is continuously sitting.
This habit can lead to a range of health problems, including shoulder, neck, back pain, obesity, cancer and type 2 diabetes.
On the contrary, if you can stand for two hours a day, it can effectively prevent diseases, and many small problems in the body will gradually disappear.
When standing, the heart rate will increase by 10 times per minute on average, and the human body can burn 0.7 kcal more calories per minute, which is 50 kcal per hour.
At the same time, standing can improve posture and relieve back pain; it can speed up blood circulation and promote cardiovascular health; people are more willing to walk when standing.
Another British study confirmed that if you can stand for 5 days a week and a total of 3 hours a day for a long time, the fitness effect is comparable to running 10 marathons.
This is because when standing, all the muscles in the legs are working. If you go with walking or other movements, the amount of muscle activity will increase and the calories will be consumed.
If you go out for a walk on a sunny day, it is also good for bone health and can prevent and alleviate osteoporosis.
Standing can move the position of the heart upwards, making it temporarily difficult for blood to return to the heart. To improve this problem, dramatic changes occur in the body.
For example, increase the heart rate, shrink peripheral blood vessels, etc., thereby stimulating blood circulation, improving edema, low metabolism and other problems.
In addition, standing can make the chest cavity surrounding the lungs move smoothly, allowing oxygen to fill the body, and the metabolic function becomes stronger.
We have an idiom in China: sitting and waiting to die. The same is true for health. Sitting for a long time is "sitting and waiting to die"
If you can control the daily sitting time to 3 hours to 5 hours, it will be of great benefit. The specific operations are listed for everyone.
