The second sign of overwork: sore throat, hoarse voice sounds 5 years old. 90% of sore throats originate from infections of the throat tissue, often viral. When you are tired, your body’s cellular immune function is low, the cytokines in the blood mistakenly accept the virus, and the infection appears in the closest organ to the outside world, the throat. Of course, the dry environment, excessive use of voice, smoking also played a bit of a bad role in pushing the wave. Run your throat for a bit: using a small hot water bag to warm your throat can improve blood circulation and reduce pain.

Long-term nervousness and excitement will lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing neurological headache. Charge the nerves: press the index or middle finger of both hands on the temple area and massage it repeatedly in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction for 5 minutes to immediately relieve the pain.

Recharge your brain: eat an apple for breakfast. The brain is most deprived of nutrients when you wake up in the morning, so eat a rich breakfast to recharge your brain, and eat an apple. American researchers have found that apples increase the amount of acetylcholine, the brain’s neurotransmitter, and improve memory. Overwork signal seven: a little thing also angry interpersonal relations are a little strained Recently you are a little agitated, for a little thing to lose temper, people are afraid to mess with you.

Scientists even believe that tired people behave very similarly to people with depression. Nourish your mood: drink a cup of rose tea. The aroma of roses can relieve worries and help you forget about them. At the same time, roses have the effect of invigorating blood and energizing the brain, which can promote blood flow, increase the blood supply to the brain and rejuvenate it. If you add a little green tea, the anti-fatigue and antioxidant effect is even better. Overwork signal eight: joint pain orchid finger a little stiff Get up in the morning finger joints stiff, pain when moving or pressing the joint. This may be arthritis caused by fatigue.

This is very unlike you, huh? When you are tired, there will be a lack of information transfer between nerve cells in the brain, so that the brain commands the body to slow down the command, slow reaction, poor motor skills, and can not identify important information and irrelevant information, the result of the simplest decisions are infinitely larger, and become indecisive. Oxygenate the brain: Take five deep breaths and the supply of oxygen to the brain will immediately increase. Eat two cookies, even better, blood sugar levels increase and the condition of the brain improves. It is best to take a comfortable oil bath at night, the body is immersed in hot water, the fragrance accelerates the blood flow, the brain will be completely relaxed. Overwork signals eleven: heartbeat accelerates obviously feel short of breath and weak You feel your heartbeat accelerates, you can feel the thumping heartbeat, others also feel you talk without breath.
