1. Sleeping posture beneficial to women's health
Supine: It has nothing to do with the posterior position of uterus. This kind of sleeping position is more, accounting for about 50%~60% of the crowd. Sleeping in this way will not oppress any internal organs of the body, and it should be a healthier sleeping position. Some people say that supine position will make the uterus backward, which has no scientific basis. Because the position of the uterus, front or back, is determined by four pairs of ligaments around the uterus. As a result of the joint action of the four pairs of ligaments, the uterus maintains an anterior position, a median position or a posterior position, which has little to do with sleeping position. But the disadvantages of supine position are: some people are used to putting their hands on their chests, which will cause nightmares and affect their sleep; Some people are used to pillow height, which is not conducive to cervical health; Fat people have loose soft tissues and are prone to snoring and even apnea when lying on their backs.
Prone: Injury to the chest and heart. Generally speaking, there are fewer people sleeping in this position, which is not conducive to heart health and rest. About 5% people choose this sleeping position. When sleeping on your stomach, your body weight will oppress your chest, limit your cardiopulmonary activities, affect your cardiopulmonary function, and affect your breathing and circulation. People will feel chest tightness, breathlessness, discomfort in the precordial area, etc. For female friends, prone position. It also compresses the breasts. Compression of the breast will affect its blood circulation. Before puberty, long-term breast compression will affect breast development and breast morphology. Menstruation, breast congestion. If it is compressed, the blood flow will be blocked. In the long run, breast nodules will appear.
Lying on the left: the best position in the second trimester. Lying on the left side accounts for 20%~30% of the crowd. As we all know, the heart is on the left side of the whole chest. If you sleep on the left side, the position of your heart is low. If we want to ensure the blood circulation of the whole body, the heart will do a lot of work and will increase the burden on the heart. For some elderly people and patients with heart disease, it is especially not recommended to use left sleep. However, for women in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, if they lie on their backs, the enlarged uterus will compress the inferior vena cava, resulting in a decrease in blood flow back to the heart, which will lead to hypotension in supine position and a decrease in blood supply to the placenta, which will seriously cause intrauterine hypoxia. Lying on the right side is also not recommended. Because in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus is in a right-handed state, which will oppress the right ureter, leading to ureteral dilatation and even hydronephrosis, so it is recommended that pregnant women in the second and third trimester of pregnancy lie on their left side.
Lying on the right side: daily healthy sleeping position. This sleeping position is recognized by most people as a healthy sleeping position, mainly because it will not oppress the heart; The mouth from stomach to duodenum and the mouth from small intestine to large intestine are all open to the right, which is beneficial to the normal operation and digestion of gastrointestinal tract; The liver is located in the right upper abdomen, and the right lying position is low, which is beneficial to the blood perfusion of the liver and the metabolism of nutrients in the body. Therefore, it is more beneficial to keep the right lying posture. And for women in early pregnancy, the uterus is smaller and the right position is better.
Have you learned more about health after reading the above? Women love high heels, but what harm will women bring to their health when they wear high heels? Let's get to know each other.
2. The harm of women wearing high heels
The charm of high heels for women is self-evident. While bringing beauty, experts point out that the impact on human joints is also all-round. Women should try to reduce wearing high heels, especially those over 40. At present, the height of some high-heeled shoes has reached more than ten centimeters, and the forward tilt of the human body is further increased, and the center of gravity moves up again, which will affect the cervical spine. Many women even have neck and shoulder muscle strain and cervical spondylosis. For women who need to wear high heels at work, flat shoes and high heels can be worn alternately. In addition to social occasions, etiquette and other specific occasions, it is recommended to wear less high heels. When buying high heels, the heel should not exceed 3 cm.
When you come home from work, put on soft flat shoes, walk in the community for dozens of minutes, or soak your feet with hot water for 20 minutes before going to bed, and massage the muscles of lower limbs and feet, which can also relieve muscle fatigue.
Wearing high heels can also do harm to the waist. After wearing high heels, the center of gravity is forced to move from the crotch to the waist when walking, and the lumbar spine is in a state of tension. The longer the time, the greater the damage to the lumbar muscles and lumbar vertebrae. Finally, it developed into disc herniation and hyperosteogeny (bone spur). Many women with chronic lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation have a long life history of wearing high heels. After replacing high heels with flat shoes, symptoms such as low back pain will also be significantly reduced.
High heels are also very harmful to the knee joint. With the human body's center of gravity moving up, the calf and thigh muscles are tense, and the ligaments around the knee joint continue to pull up, and the joint wear is aggravated. This is especially true for women who need to go up and down stairs frequently. When going down the stairs, people's center of gravity moves down, and the whole body weight is concentrated on the knee joint. At the moment when the high-heeled shoes hit the ground, the knee joint vibrated greatly. Therefore, when a lady in high heels goes down the stairs, the wear of her knee joint is several times that of wearing flat shoes.
Feet discomfort is the most typical reaction to wearing high heels. Women who wear high heels at first will have swollen ankles and toes, and then become persistent symptoms. Even if I lie in bed at night, my feet hurt. Ankle and toe joints will be affected by high heels to a certain extent, and the stress will be uneven. A large part of women who come to the clinic are sprained ankles caused by wearing high heels.
High heels artificially raise the heel, causing the human body to lean forward. When people put on high heels, naturally, their knees will bend slightly and their waists will lean back. When the heel is raised, the toes are always in a bent state, and after a long time, the toes will be deformed; There will be knee strain; When the lumbar muscles lean back, muscle strain and myofascitis will occur after a long time.
Summary: Most women love to wear high heels, which makes them look long and thin. But high heels will do great harm to women's health. So even if you like it, you can only wear it occasionally.
The secret of wearing high heels is comfort.
Tip 1: Heel first, then toe. This is a common problem for beginners. When they first learn how to wear high heels, they always wear flat shoes, with their toes touching the ground first and then their heels. But when wearing high heels, you should do the opposite, heel first, toe later.
Tip 2: Take small steps. Wearing high heels will shorten the usual stride, so don't stride hard, it will be very tired, but don't use penguin small steps, which is about half of the usual stride.
Tip 3: Go straight. When you draw a straight line by hand, then at this time you are looking at the finish line instead of paper and pen. Similarly, wearing high heels is the same. If you want to walk out of a graceful posture, then don't stare at your shoes at this time and imagine yourself walking along a straight line until you reach your destination, so the whole city will become a stage for asking questions.
Tip 4: lean back slightly. I don't know if you have noticed that when you walk in high heels, you often have the illusion that your feet walk faster than your shoes. So move the center of gravity back a little, so that the feet and shoes will be integrated.
Tip 5: arch your feet gently. Another problem with high-heeled shoes is that they will feel forward sliding from time to time. The solution to this problem is to arch your feet gently, which will become a kind of resistance to avoid sliding forward and squeezing your feet too much.
Tip 6: Be sure to fit. Sharp tools make good work. If your shoes don't fit, let alone walk gracefully. Each pair of shoes has a different style. Use insoles to make oversized shoes fit, and let shoemakers support a little more oversized shoes. If they really don't fit, find another pair that really fits.
