So, how to bask in the spring sun, focusing on four parts.
Bask on the top of your head
When basking in the sun, be sure to let the sun shine overhead. At this time, the sunlight and yang energy are at their most abundant. After lunch, office workers may wish to go outside and let the sunlight shine overhead, which can unblock the pulse and regulate yang energy.
We turn our backs to the sun and let the sunlight shine directly on our backs, and it only takes a short time for us to feel warm and comfortable. In addition, regular exposure to the back also has the function of strengthening the heart and lungs.
Sunlight can take away the cold in the legs and feet, and it can also accelerate calcium absorption and help prevent osteoporosis. In spring and summer, you can store energy for your legs and feet, and in winter you can help resist the cold and protect your righteousness.
In the warm sun, we might as well spread our hands out, with the palms facing the sun, so that the sunlight shines into the palms of the hands, which can release stress, relieve fatigue, promote sleep, and strengthen the heart and qi.
Do chest expansion exercises while basking in the sun
Sufficient sunlight can regulate the secretion of melatonin, and the stretching of the chest can make the body better absorb yang qi, so as to replenish liver yang, relieve liver qi and nourish the liver. It is recommended to take half an hour outside every day to do chest expansion exercises under the sun, take deep breaths in the sun, and stretch and stretch your body that has been curled up.
Don't spend less than 40 minutes in the sun a week
Generally speaking, when 15% of the human skin is exposed to sunlight, a total of 40 minutes of sun per week for young people and 60 minutes per week for older people can ensure that the skin synthesizes sufficient vitamin D.
Specifically, the amount of time it takes to bask in the sun varies depending on altitude, region, season, race, individual, and location.
The vast majority of people can get the vitamin D needed by the body in the sun for 10~20 minutes a day, shorter for children and longer for the elderly, but it is generally recommended to control it within 30 minutes to avoid sunburn.
People living at high altitudes and long-term low-level hypoxia need to extend the sun exposure time to 30~60 minutes a day because the hypoxia itself will aggravate bone loss.
Best times: 10 a.m. and 4 p.m
Around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. are the best times to bask in the sun. At this time, the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can cause the body to produce vitamin D, which prevents osteoporosis and reduces the incidence of arteriosclerosis.
Special groups are particular
Generally speaking, special populations such as pregnant women, children and the elderly need more calcium, and they need to pay more attention to sun exposure.
Pregnant women: Pregnant women need to bear the calcium needs of two people. In summer, half an hour of sun exposure is sufficient, and in winter it is not less than 1 hour a day. You can't stay indoors all day because you don't have a physical condition.
Children: Children need a lot of calcium to develop and should be outdoors every day from two months onwards. The time to receive sunlight can be gradually extended from the first ten minutes to one hour. When the weather is not too hot, you can spend a little more time in the sun.
Elderly: The elderly are also the focus of calcium supplementation. It's okay to bask in the sun before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m., but it's best not to go out alone to avoid falling asleep in the sun and getting sick from the cold. You can find a few companions and chat and move at the same time.
