“Body water” or “poison apple” about “a glass of water in the morning” you do not know the secret

I don’t know where my mother recently saw the phrase “a glass of water in the morning, cleanse the intestines and laxative”, and then the first thing I see every day when I open my eyes is no longer full of morning sunshine, but a whole glass of warm water on the bedside table full of care.

The first few days, a glass of water early in the morning really works, feeling that every cell in the body is awakened, the whole body has a sense of permeability, but the last few days this “morning glass of water” but I am tired and sleepy for several mornings, this is obviously and nourishing “glass of water” now how suddenly like a “poison apple” let people drowsy?

After much understanding, the mystery of this cup of water is slowly being unveiled – it is both “body nourishing water”, but also may become a “poisonous apple”!

The body after a night’s rest, there are many toxins in the body, a glass of water in the morning, to flush them out. This time this glass of water is a well-deserved body water.

If you look at the body as machinery, this explanation seems very reasonable. But the body is complex, intelligent, this glass of water if not flushed out the garbage, but will remain in the body into waste water. So many friends of the tongue is fat and tender, wet and slippery, with teeth marks, indicating that the body water damp heavy, for such friends, a glass of water in the morning rather like a poison apple!

Some people are tired and sleepy in the morning, and the morning cup of water is directly related. When we complain about phlegm and dampness, we should also reflect on our own life behavior.

There is no beauty or evil in things, but excess is a disaster. When exactly to drink water? How much water is just right? We don’t need to listen to the “experts”, but to the body. Do not drink until you are thirsty, this is a principle.

Drinking water in the morning is inappropriate and may have ruined your “three views”; do not drink without thirst, you may not agree.

When I was in college, I heard the same viewpoint: when you are thirsty, it means that your body is already very dehydrated, so you must drink in advance to avoid the lack of water in your internal organs.

In recent years, as I have thought and practiced on my own, I have slowly learned that it is important to think from the body’s point of view. The body is intelligent, the five organs like the central head office, it must be rich enough material reserves.

The mouth and tongue are the most sensitive organs of the body, like frontline observation posts. Drinking porridge and soup every day, the body has already reserved a lot of water. When the body’s water level line down, the most distal just began to lack of water, the mouth will sense, this time to drink a few sips of water.

Many friends experimented with the morning without water, or dry mouth when two sips of water to moisten the throat, a few days in a row “no thirst, no drink”, the results of the original fat big tongue became thin.

We always think the body is incompetent, disregard the body’s feelings desperately drink water, this water in the body can not fully participate in metabolism, it will become water wet, and then become phlegm wet.

Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the metabolism of water in the body. If a person is attacked by wind and cold and has a cold and fever, we will judge the metabolism of water by such manifestations as “thirst, no thirst, sweat, no sweat, small conveniences, unfavorable”, and the treatment plan is very different.

Therefore, it is not always necessary to drink water after a cold, it depends on whether you are thirsty or not.

Since drinking a glass of water after waking up is not a daily necessity, what should we do after waking up?

But it would be a waste to go straight to the toilet, wash up and eat breakfast. In fact, we have a “golden 10 minutes” after waking up in the morning, grasp this 10 minutes, do a good job, at least 10 years more life! And this thing is very, very simple, is meditation.

Then the following will give you a detailed description of these several sitting postures

Double knee: put the left calf on top of the right one, so that the left palm is slightly flush with the right one, and then put the right calf on top of the left one; at this time, the palms of the two feet are up, and the two shares are crossed, as if in a triangle, which is called “double knee”, the advantage of which is: the two knees must be close to the cushion, and the sitting posture is natural and correct, and will not be skewed to the front and back. This is called “double plank”. However, this double knee posture is not easy to learn, and it is even more difficult for people above middle age to learn, so there is no need to force it.
Single plank knee: When sitting, put the left calf on top of the right femur and place the right foot under the left femur. This is much easier than double planking. Its disadvantage is that the left knee is not close to the cushion, and if you sit for a long time, your body will be skewed to the left; as long as you feel skewed, correct it slowly, there is no obstacle.
Lower plate method: If even a single plate can not do, then the two lower legs to the lower plate, can also be. But the two knees have fallen short, more easily skewed, should always pay attention to correct.
Of course, if the above three postures feel difficult to do, we have a ……
Flat sitting method: the bottom of the two feet flat on the ground can also be, but the legs and feet, to maintain a right angle of ninety degrees.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the following points.

1. the best time to meditate is just woke up, the best effect at this time. Other times are also available, but do not do an hour after meals. 2.
2. if possible, before meditation, brew a cup of meridian medicine to drink while hot. 3.
3. at least twenty minutes of activity after sitting, you can massage yourself to unblock the qi and blood, you can also do health exercises, walking or walking can be.
4. increased appetite and increased exhaust (commonly known as farting) are good signs. Do not worry.
5. during the meditation period, regardless of winter and summer, as long as you feel cold, that should wear more. As long as you feel hot, you can wear less. Clothing should be loose, but never in the wind.
6. The muscles of the whole body must be relaxed during meditation. Sitting cross-legged on a bed or on a stool without a backrest is fine, but not directly on the ground without a mat.
7. Double-plate meditation is the most effective, but do not force it, for it is not beneficial to the body.
8. When practicing, pay attention to the movements of the head and neck, face, eyes, and mouth: the head and neck should be straight, the face facing forward, the eyes gently closed, and the mouth closed, not open, with the tongue against the palate.
