Eight small movements can help you stay healthy and relaxed

The health of office workers and sedentary people has been worrying in recent years. Due to lack of exercise and long-term exposure to radiation, the physical condition of office workers is getting worse and worse. Don’t panic and say you don’t have time to exercise. You can easily get healthy with just a few small actions. Let’s take a look at it with the editor below!

Cervical Exercises

Many people have bad cervical spine problems due to some wrong habitual movements, such as not keeping the upper body straight when standing and the ears and shoulders not being in a vertical line. And stretching your neck in front of the computer for a long time can also cause injuries to the cervical spine.

Three points to pay attention to in order to stay away from cervical spondylosis

The first is the bones on the cervical spine; the second is the ligaments between the bones; the third is the muscle groups in the neck. Many people suffer from cervical discomfort, but in fact it is not cervical spondylosis. To be precise, it is the decline in the function of the neck muscle groups. This exercise can help you increase muscle training in the back of your neck.

Key points of the movement: Stand with your head up and chest out, feet together or slightly apart, hands raised to the sides, hands straight with fingertips pointing upwards. Then raise your hands to about 15 degrees above your shoulders (like the 10:10 position of the hands on a clock), until you feel the muscles in the back of your neck tense. Then move your hands down from the wrist joints to the sides (back to the 9:15 position of the hands on the clock), and repeat this movement.

Tip: The 10:10 exercise will effectively exercise all the muscles in the neck, which is beneficial to improving the function of the cervical spine and improving cervical spine problems.

Combing Hair

Use a wooden comb to comb from the forehead to the top of the head and then move towards the back, gradually increasing the speed. Do not use too much force when combing to avoid scratching the skin.

This can stimulate the scalp nerve endings and head acupuncture points, promote local blood circulation, and achieve the effects of eliminating fatigue, strengthening the body and promoting hair growth, which is especially important for mental workers.

Facial Exercises

During breaks in work, open and close your mouth as wide as possible, mobilizing all the muscles on your face and even your scalp to perform rhythmic movements. It can accelerate blood circulation, delay the "aging" of various local tissues and organs, and make the head clear.

Gnashing of teeth

"Gnashing your teeth" can pull the head muscles and promote blood circulation in the head, thereby clearing the brain and enhancing memory.

Shaking your head

The neck is composed of cervical vertebrae joints, blood vessels, muscles and ligaments. Shaking your head can activate these tissues.

This not only increases blood supply to the brain, but also reduces the possibility of cholesterol accumulation in the carotid arteries, thereby helping to prevent stroke, hypertension and cervical spondylosis.

Brain

Sit upright on a chair, press your ears with the palms of your hands respectively, and gently tap your head with your index, middle and ring fingers. You will hear a "dong dong" sound.

Playing it 10 to 20 times a day can relieve fatigue, prevent dizziness, enhance hearing and treat tinnitus.

Eye training

When working with your eyes, look out the window for one minute every half hour, then take a break by blinking your eyes several times, or you can roll your eyeballs. This helps relax the eye muscles and promote blood circulation in the eyes.

Stretch

When the body stays in one posture for a long time, a lot of blood will accumulate in the veins of the muscle tissue. At this time, stretching will cause most of the muscles in the body to relax or contract.

In just a few seconds of stretching, a lot of stagnant blood is driven back to the heart, which can greatly increase the volume of circulating blood and improve blood circulation.
