Small actions can also bring great health

1, Pinch the armpits
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regular pinching of the armpits can relax the muscles and activate the nerves, reconcile qi and blood, and delay aging. The method is as follows: cross the left and right arms in front of the chest, press the right armpit with the left hand, press the left armpit with the right hand, use the wrist force to drive the middle, index and ring fingers, and gently pinch the armpit muscles rhythmically for 3~5 minutes, 1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening, and do not use too much force.

2. Overlook
Ascending to a high altitude and looking into the distance, it can adjust the eye muscles and lens, reduce eye fatigue, and improve vision. The specific method is: every morning, evening or when the brain is tired, on the balcony of your home or on the mountain, regularly turn your eyes and look at the distant peaks, rooftops, spires and other scenes. Long-term persistence will definitely be beneficial.

3, Open your mouth 
In the interval between studying, doing housework or watching TV, open and close the mouth to the maximum extent, drive all the muscles of the face, and carry out rhythmic movements, which can accelerate blood circulation, delay the aging of local tissues and organs, and make the mind clear and invigorated. Here's how to do it: sit on a chair or bed, open and close your mouth easily and rhythmically, and each opening and closing lasts 50 times, about 1 minute, and insists on doing it once a day in the morning and evening.

4, Neck Shake
In the leisure time after tea and dinner, I often do neck turning exercises, which can not only receive a refreshing effect, but also prevent the occurrence of cervical spine diseases. The specific method is: sit on the chair, first raise your head, lean back as much as possible, and then lean your chin to your chest, so that the neck and back muscles are tightened and relaxed, and tilt to the left and right sides for 10~15 times, and then put your back against the back of the chair, and hold your hands behind your neck for a while.

5. Make a fist
Fist clenching exercises every day can enhance the function of internal organs, multiply people's physical strength, and maintain strong energy. The method is as follows: clench your hands into fists, use a little force on your whole body at the same time, then let go, repeat 50~80 times, once a day in the morning and once in the evening. This method can be used for people who usually feel inattentive and lack of energy.

6, Nose rubbing
The nose is a gateway to the human body's breathing, which is connected to nature on the outside and many vital organs on the inside. Frequent massage of the nose has the effect of enhancing local qi and blood circulation, moisturizing the lungs, and preventing colds. The specific method is to rub the tip of the nose 24 times with the middle section of the back of the thumb of both hands, rub the tip of the nose 24 times, rub the fingers of both hands 12 times on the side of the nose, and scrape the bridge of the nose with the fingers, from top to bottom 10 times. The above 3 actions can be done at the same time.

7, Pharyngeal saliva 
Saliva is closely related to longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that saliva is abundant, often contained and swallowed slowly, which can moisten the five organs, nourish the skin, and make people live longer. The specific method is: first calm down, gently exhale 3 mouthfuls, and then extend the tongue out of the outer lip of the teeth, stirring up and down, left and right; When the mouth is full of liquid, gargle 5~10 times, and slowly send saliva into the dantian in 3 times. Practice 3~4 times a day.

8, Tiptoe 
Elderly people who stand and sit for long periods of time often feel soreness in the lower limbs, and in severe cases, varicose veins in the lower limbs, which are caused by poor blood return in the lower limbs. Consider doing a "tiptoe" activity every hour by constantly lifting your heels so that blood returns well to your lower extremities. Because the return of human blood to the lower limbs is mainly by lifting the heel to contract and squeeze the muscles in the back of the calf, the amount of blood squeezed out during each contraction is roughly equivalent to the amount of blood discharged by the heart every beat.
