Body-brain alternation is an important part of alternating movement. Regular physical labor and physical exercise can exercise the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and endocrine systems and make the whole body metabolize vigorously. But this is not enough, and defensive exercises are needed at the same time. The less the human brain is trained, the faster it will age. Therefore, people engaged in sports transportation and manual labor should always learn to use their brains, such as playing chess, writing and reciting poems. People engaged in mental work must often take part in sports.
On the one hand, people constantly exercise their physical and mental activities; On the other hand, it is necessary to spend some time every day to calm down the body and brain, relax the muscles of the whole body, put aside all other thoughts and focus on the navel. This can regulate the activities of the whole body organs.
Up and down alternately, humans evolved from apes to upright walking, with different division of labor between hands and feet. Increase hand movements, agility and flexibility; The activity of the foot is reduced, the movement is clumsy, and the function of the cerebral cortex that dominates the foot is also degraded accordingly.
People are prone to cerebrovascular diseases because they stand upright. If you often change your habitual posture, you can reduce the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases. Comparing the average life span of different animals, we can find that there is a certain relationship between head position activity and life span.
Cranes, eagles, snakes and other head movements can reach 360 degrees, and they can live to more than 10 times of the developmental period. However, the range of human head activity is only 90 degrees, and the life span can only be about 3 times of the developmental period, only a quarter of that of long-lived animals. Usually, it is the most effective alternate way to do more bow exercises, such as bending down to sweep the floor, putting down the washbasin to wash your face, bending down to exercise, touching your feet and so on.
Japanese living habits, such as crawling when sitting on the floor, are also a mystery of longevity. In addition, pay more attention to moving toes and do some handstands conditionally, which is conducive to enhancing the flexibility of the body and reducing cerebrovascular diseases.
Alternating left and right requires people to alternate activities with their left and right limbs. If you are used to using your right hand, you should consciously move your left hand. The hand is the external brain. If you rarely use your left hand, most of the right cerebral cortex will be "barren". Both hemispheres of the brain can be developed to consciously make hands move evenly, which can keep the balance of brain function and prevent the occurrence of stroke.
People move forward alternately every day, forming a "fixed pattern" in the motor area of the cerebral cortex. The result of long-term walking forward often leads to the deviation of lower limbs and waist bones, which leads to diseases such as hip joint and ischium. Practice has proved that doing some backward movements every day can not only make the joints of lower limbs flexible and quick-thinking, but also prevent and treat some leg diseases and avoid the phenomenon that lower limbs are ineffective and unstable after entering old age.
Here are a few simple alternating actions:
One of the alternate exercises: abdominal breathing for three minutes every day, which can be arranged before getting up in the morning, after going to bed at night or before taking a nap every day.
Methods: Lie on your back, unbuckle your belt, relax yourself, take a deep breath, consciously bulge your stomach, hold it for a while and then exhale slowly. Take a deep breath every time, breathe slowly and hold your breath for as long as possible.
Abdominal breathing is an exercise to exercise the important internal organs of the whole body. When breathing, the diaphragm moves up and down, the alveoli expand, and the activities of organs in the chest cavity such as the heart and aorta increase, so that all blood vessels and nerves in the stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney and abdominal cavity are relaxed and rhythmically exercised, which is helpful for digestion and expectoration. Exercise before going to bed can also help people fall asleep.
Alternate movement 2: bow down. That is, after getting up or before going to bed, do Duan Jinzhong's "hands climbing the kidney and waist".
Methods: Stand, bend down and touch the ground as much as possible, once a second, and bend down 60 times a minute. At first, you can bend a few times less, from less to more, from shallow to deep, and finally reach the palm touching the ground. This action is like taking a big bow and falling to the ground. The main purpose is to keep a low profile. Moving the head up and down can make the head get more blood and nutrition, and it can also gradually increase the pressure resistance of cerebral blood vessels and prevent stroke.
The further development of head-down movement is head-standing, even head-foot inversion or handstand. This is quite popular in the world. Mayne, a famous violinist, stood upside down for 65,438+00 minutes after each performance. Many Americans also put on their upside-down boots and rest upside down in the office. This kind of exercise is good for spinal diseases, gastroptosis, varicose veins of lower limbs and hemorrhoids.
People with arteriosclerosis or heart disease must get the doctor's permission to do this kind of exercise to avoid accidents. At first, you can make a small bow, step by step, and do what you can. Alternate exercise 3: Take a cold bath every day. After getting up in the morning, or after morning exercise, take a cold bath all year round. Of course, depending on everyone's habits, noon and evening are also ok.
Taking a cold bath must first overcome the fear of cold. Let the whole body skin see the air first and bask in the sun. You can dry clean it first, that is, wipe your body with a towel, from your arms and legs to your chest, abdomen and even your whole body, step by step. Use hot water first, then warm water, and gradually achieve the purpose of washing with cold water. People who take a cold bath live longer. One of the reasons why Ma Yinchu can live to be a hundred years old is that he takes a cold bath every day.
In addition, there are alternating movements of heart and lung, alternating movements of hot and cold, and alternating movements of "logical thinking and image thinking". Imagine and create by yourself according to your own situation and the principle of alternating movement, such as regular movement, your own feedback and control. The adjustment ability will be greatly enhanced and the body and mind will be healthier.
