Health tips for singles and those who are no longer single

February 14th is Valentine's Day. Many couples will go to restaurants to have a big meal to celebrate today, or some people who want to get out of being single will make an appointment with their loved ones for a romantic candlelight dinner. However, the National Health Administration reminds that a Western Valentine's Day meal for one person has about 2,000 calories. Based on a 60-kilogram adult, it will take about 7 hours of brisk walking or more than 5 hours of jogging to burn off all the calories eaten.

Prevention is better than cure, acupoint massage before meals can avoid eating

As the saying goes, "prevention is better than cure." If you are worried about eating too many calories, you can massage the following five acupoints 30 minutes before meals, 2 minutes on each acupoint, for a total of 10 minutes. This will help regulate the spleen and stomach, promote body metabolism, reduce appetite, and avoid excessive calorie intake.

1. Shuifen point: It is located about one thumb width above the navel and can remove phlegm and dampness and reduce edema.

2. Tianshu point: It is located about 2 finger widths away from the navel, one on each side, and can regulate the spleen and stomach.

3. Daheng Point: It is located about 2 finger widths outside the left and right Tianshu points and 4 finger widths away from the navel. It can regulate the spleen and stomach.

4. Zusanli Point: Located in the depression on the front and outer side of the calf, three inches directly below the knee and one finger width away from the front edge of the tibia, it helps suppress appetite and improve gastrointestinal function.

5. Fenglong Point: Located at the midpoint of the line connecting the highest point of the outer ankle and the outer knee pit, 2 horizontal fingers away from the front edge of the tibia, it can eliminate edema.

Add high-intensity training to walking and jogging to burn more calories

In addition to acupoint massage before meals, it is also recommended to do some simple exercises after meals, such as: brisk walking, jogging. If you want to burn more calories, you might as well try this high-intensity interval training method to accelerate the body's metabolism. The specific method is as follows: insert a 30-second full-speed sprint in every 5 minutes of jogging, or add a 1-minute incline walking in the monotonous jogging exercise. This kind of intense training will make the body think that it is in intense exercise, which will burn more calories invisibly.

The stick-style core muscle group exercises muscles and improves the body's basal metabolism

If you want to burn more calories, you might as well do the popular and simple stick-style core muscle group exercise, or challenge the more difficult TRX suspension training to exercise your muscles. This will make your body stronger and have proud body curves. The most important thing is that muscles require more human energy, which helps to improve basal metabolism. Studies have shown that every additional 0.5 kg of muscle consumes 30-40 calories more per day. In other words, adding 0.5 kg of muscle will consume an additional calorie equivalent to 1.5-2 kg of fat calories each year, which is beneficial for maintaining body shape, improving one's basal metabolic rate, and strengthening physical fitness. It can also prevent chronic diseases, sports injuries, and osteoporosis. It can be said that there are many benefits. Finally, I would like to remind you that if the stick pose is not done correctly, the effect will be greatly reduced. Common mistakes are:

1. Pushing your body backwards with your hands

2. Lifting your hips too high

3. Lifting your head too high

4. Resisting the use of the core and using too much force in the limbs
