"Overwork and Prevention"

Overwork signal one : sore throat, hoarse voice sounds 5 years old

Burning-like pain in the throat, especially when eating, not only talking hard, everyone also said that your voice is a bit hoarse, then it must be tired. 90% of sore throats originate from infections of the larynx, often viral infections.

When tired, the cellular immune function in the body is low, the cytokines in the blood mistakenly receive the virus, and the infection appears in the throat of the nearest organ. Of course, the dry environment, excessive voice usage, and smoking also played a role in helping the situation.

Run a throat and swallow:

Applying a small hot water bottle to your throat can promote blood circulation and reduce pain. Every few hours, gargle with a cup of warm water and half a spoon of sea salt or a slice of vitamin C, which has an anti-inflammatory effect.

I often have headaches, and it always looks like a pair of frowns. If it is a non-cause headache, it is likely to be fatigue. When fatigue occurs, stress and emotional anxiety have been around for some time.

The brain is the most concentrated organ in the nerves. When the nerves are nervous, the nerves will show an excited state, which requires blood and oxygen supplementation. If the nerves are excited for a long time, the brain will have insufficient blood supply and cause neurological headaches.

Charge the nerves:

Press the index finger or middle finger of both hands on the temple part, and repeatedly massage clockwise and counterclockwise for 5 minutes, it can immediately relieve the pain.

You feel sore, swollen, dry, and blurred vision. When others see you, you also feel that your eyes are apathetic, and the charm of the electric eye is no longer.

After watching for a long time, Qi and blood are lost, and various functions of the eye, including adjustment, lubrication, and sight, will weaken.

Charge your eyes:

Do you remember the eye exercises you did as a kid? Close your eyes, massage at the acupoints around the eyes for 5 minutes, and then open your eyes, you will feel that your eyes are much brighter.

Nutrition Supply Station:

Eat some sweet fruits, such as blueberries, cherries, pomegranates, and strawberries.

Charge your brain:

Have an apple for breakfast. When you wake up in the morning, your brain is the most deprived of nutrients, so eat a rich breakfast to recharge your brain and eat an apple.

Anxiety, lose your temper for a little thing, no one dares to mess with you. Won't it change sooner? !!

Don't think too much, you are probably just tired. Tired brains store more negative memories, and we are more likely to be depressed when we are tired. Scientists even think that the behavior of tired people is very similar to that of depression patients.

Nourish your emotions:

Have a cup of rose tea. The fragrance of roses can relieve your worries and help you forget your troubles. At the same time, roses have the effect of activating blood and communicating with blood, can promote blood flow, increase blood supply to the brain, and restore vitality of the brain.

If you add a little green tea, the effect of anti-fatigue and antioxidant is even better.

Get up in the morning with stiff finger joints and pain when moving or pressing the joints. This may be arthritis caused by fatigue. Long-term joint strain, coupled with low night temperature and heavy humidity, can cause pain in the morning.

Take five deep breaths and your brain's oxygen supply immediately increases. It is better to eat two cookies, the blood sugar concentration is increased, and the condition of the brain is improved.
