Five minutes? What can we talk about?
Well, who will be able to snatch so much time from his rich biography and spend it on such a boring occupation as a healthy lifestyle?!
However, the beauty is that for any of the following wellness activities you will need less than 5 minutes!
1. Don't go up, but go down the stairs!
In the magazines, some optimists-physicalists recommend readers to abandon the elevators and to the right floor to go on foot. However, no prizes in the form of a healthy heart and piece figure will not make a normal person every day to crawl up the stairs. Because it is at least boring, long and tiring. But, few people know that running down the stairs is almost as useful: in this case, there is quite a decent load on the muscles-vessels. Well, and most importantly, to do it much more fun and easier. Another thing: if sometimes you will allow yourself to go down the stairs with your back forward, you risk not only to smash the back of the head and earn the reputation of neighbors citizen with strangeness, but also to give a pretty good load to the muscles, which are usually half inactive - the muscles of the back of the thigh and lower back.
2. Write the alphabet with a pencil clamped in your teeth!
The neck of a man, when he entered into a symbiosis with a computer, began to eke out a rather pathetic existence. And periodically she begins to show her displeasure with the pain in the shoulder muscles, then the plaintive crunch at the turn of the head. And all this oh as prevents graphomania in blogs, high-quality shooting of Monsters of Azeroth and your other work duties. To make the neck pleasant, do the following every day at least once: squeeze in your teeth and write to them in the air in front of them the whole alphabet from A to I. I can assure you, the cervical spine will be delighted with this. I note that Russian-speaking citizens receive a bonus of 9 additional letters in Russian alphabet, which can not be said about many Europeans. However, for example, the Chinese with their minimum compulsory education of 10,000 characters, will have to sweat.
3. Rinse your mouth with sea water made from salt!
Buy sea salt in powder or granules. Every morning or evening pour a tablespoon into a glass of warm water and rinse the resulting solution throat. Teeth, tonsils and nasopharynx will be in ecstasy: tooth decay, angina and ARD are now much harder to attack. But to rinse with sea water at the same time and nose like the Hindus, whose hygienic practices are now adopted in Europe - is not worth it. Pulling the water with her nose without due, since childhood, habit, it is very easy to drive it to the ears, where it will live- live, until it leads to otitis, especially since the climate in our do not Indian.
4. Stop breathing until you get bored!
Many people think that breathing exercises are to inhale more oxygen. In fact, it's the opposite: during these exercises it is better to almost not breathe. Amosov, a cardiac surgeon who has lived for 90 years and has been doing breathing gymnastics every day, wrote: "Any cell, first of all, needs loads and restrictions." According to Amosov, breathing gymnastics is a way to block the cell's access to oxygen and see how it will be twisted. Inhale, then exhale from the lungs all the air and try not to breathe. When you're completely bored, catch your breath and repeat the procedure. Try to hold your breath for at least three minutes - with regular practice you will be easy. And remember: the world record set by diver Gianluca Jenoni is 18 minutes 3 seconds. So you have room to grow.
5. Съешьте сырую морковку, репу, яблоко или капустную кочерыжку!
You have no idea how many people by the age of 30 are the proud owners of the nascent hemorrhoids - enlarged veins in the rectum or back aisle. And we imagine: in the developed world there are 40% of them! And with your birthday, the risk of you having to pay with blood for neglecting fiber in the form of vegetables, fruits, cereals and rye bread will increase.
6. Get on all fours, bend your back as much as possible!
This is an incredibly useful exercise to be done in a room with curtained windows and a barricaded door (make sure also that there is no mirror in the room and, accordingly, there is no risk that you will see yourself behind this activity). So, stand on all fours, as much as possible to rot your back and within two minutes make smooth circular movements pelvis up and down and left-right. (Maniacs from the U.S. Institute of National Health, who recommend this exercise in their popularized exercise brochures, advise at this point to present themselves as a cat. As a reward for this humiliation, you will soon be sent a healthy waist, which will not even pick up the next time you try to get something interesting from the top or bottom shelf of the closet.
7. Before going to bed, pour cold water on your feet to your knees with a shower!
One minute for the event is enough. So you, first of all, will fall asleep faster and stronger; secondly, you will pay attention to the veins of the lower limbs, and thirdly, you will temper no worse than that fanatic, who daily pours cold water whole, and then wonders where in the nose takes so many snot.
8. Twist and shake everything!
Please your co-workers or household. So, take the most uncomfortable pose for you, hunching, straining and skewing in your own way all that is possible: back, legs, hands, neck, lips, fingers. And you need to try so hard that every muscle of your body began to resent and ask: "What are you doing?!". And the weirder your feelings now, the more "lazy" muscle fibers you used, but they live quietly in your body, almost without burdening yourself. In this form, you need to hold out for one minute. Try not to repeat the already worked pose, because such a rather truncated version of Pilates, encourages static loads on the most different muscles, joints and ligaments.
9. Lean against the wall with your back, trying to press both shoulders to it!
Now, keeping this straightened look, step away from the wall, take a book of medium weightiness, put on his head and try ten times to sit down so that the source of knowledge does not flopped on the floor. Oddly enough, even such an uncomplicated exercise will have a small but beneficial effect on your posture, which is so important for the serene existence of the spine.
10. Питайтесь с помощью кожи!
Ты, наверное, привык думать, что природа доверила тебе питаться исключительно с помощью рта. А между тем твоя кожа тоже способна лопать что угодно за милую душу. Собственно говоря, она представляет собой мириады маленьких, беззубых, но жадных ртов, активно втягивающих в себя окружающую действительность. И если перед душем ты намажешь себе лицо и предплечья, например, медом и 3–4 минуты дашь этому хозяйству повпитываться, то твои уважаемые кожные покровы поглотят очень приличную дозу сорока с лишним видов витаминов и микроэлементов, которые обычно до них не доходят. Тем более что пищеварение — процесс традиционный, остроумный, однако не всегда самый эффективный в плане усвоения многих полезных, но легкоразрушимых соединений, которые из-за обилия соляной кислоты в желудке почти всегда являются дефицитным товаром для твоего организма.
11. Закрывайте глаза!
Самый идеальный отдых для наших глаз — это дать им возможность ничего не видеть. Ни-че-го! Увы, но наши веки слишком тонкие и не могут служить тёмными шторами для глаз. Они пропускают довольно много света и изображений. А ещё хуже, что и мозг не даёт глазам покоя — он даже в полной темноте заставляет смотреть на точки, полоски, спиральки, голых развратных женщин, которые живут на обратной стороне твоих век (я уж не говорю о том, чем заняты глаза во время сна и какие картины им приходится наблюдать). Тем не менее можно всё-таки попытаться дать глазам несколько минут настоящего отдыха обманным путём. Нужно закрыть глаза и приложить руку ко лбу таким образом, чтобы она прикрывала глаза, не касаясь при этом век. Дождись, пока прекратят полыхать всякие разные буйные узоры и теперь попытайся представить, что ты смотришь на чёрный бархат. Этот бархат совсем-совсем чёрный, ничем и нигде не отблёскивающий и без ярких светящихся шерстинок, которые то и дело мешают тебе сосредоточиться на созерцании идеальной тьмы. Правда, через пару минут ты наконец-то убедишься, что у тебя так ничего и не получилось и это не работает, но зато теперь ты можешь снова уткнуться глазами в компьютер: они более или менее отдохнули.
12. Выпейте лимонного сока!
Microbicide is a crime against germs that are in your system. But don't worry too much: many of them are still pathogenic and do not deserve a better fate. To commit this mass murder, it is enough to squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass of cool water and drink. We're not going to say how much vitamin C you're going to get, you know it without us. Much more important is the ability of fresh lemon juice to maintain a weakening immunity with its microbicide power. The only "but": if just now you have decided to become a father, abstain until conception from this drink. According to researchers at the University of Melbourne, lemon juice lowers the concentration of active sperm.
13. Put your ears on the back of your mind on your own day!
If we rely on oriental medicine, on the earlobe there are 11 "moon dots" that are directly responsible for the life of 11 organs: heart, eyes, penis, teeth, liver and so on. And at the same time ear massage was considered a great way to fight male impotence or female frigidity. Here comes to the aid of modern medicine, which is always happy to refute all sorts of dormant superstitions. So modern medicine says that it does not want to know about the moon and points, but on the earlobe there are several large accumulations of nerve endings and therefore the cat has a very high sensitivity, as well as the ability to send signals to the brain, especially the spinal cord. So, actively massaging the bump (massage implies a fairly vigorous tingling), on the way out you get a very strong tonic and analgesic effects. Now you can believe at least the Chinese, at least the Europeans; the main thing is not to forget to put your ears on regularly.
14. Increase the temperature of the water!
Taking a shower, increase the pressure to the maximum, and the temperature of the water - to the top of the bar of his tolerance, close your eyes and courageously point the jet in the face from a distance of 10 centimeters. Minutes in two, when there will be a feeling that your cheeks have moved to the back of the head, eyes hammered inside the skull, and on the lips plays in the salami a dozen leaping weighty devils, stop the procedure and wipe your face with a non-hard towel (you can even put on him a nutritious cream thin layer, but it's the ultimate aerobatic). This thermal massage of the face is respected by women because it prevents the formation of wrinkles and increases the elasticity of the skin. But it's more important to you and me for another reason: it's an effective way to relax facial muscles and increase blood circulation. Both help in the fight against stress and fatigue.
15. Take activated charcoal!
If you are not indifferent to alcohol and fall to this life-giving source regularly, then once a week (as well as with a hangover) take 6-7 tablets of activated charcoal. Coal - a magnificent absorbent, which effectively removes from the gastric tract all sorts of poisonous substances, which, alas, in alcoholic beverages contains a lot. In addition, charcoal is able to absorb heavy metal salts, plant-based poisons and toxins emitted by various bacteria. Unfortunately, too often this wonderful cleanser can not be taken, because charcoal binds and absorbs not only harmful, but also useful for your body substances.
