The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that each person should eat 400 to 500 grams per day. From the varieties, a day is best to eat more than 5 kinds of vegetables, including green vegetables should account for half, that is to say, if there are two kinds of vegetables on the table, it is best to have the same green vegetables. It is also recommended to eat more rich in a variety of minerals, vitamins and other nutrients such as dark green, red, orange, fuchsia vegetables. It is important to switch up the variety of vegetables every day and eat as many types of vegetables as possible during the week. The more vegetables you don’t usually eat, the more you should remember to eat them once in a while.

Napping time can be long or short, but for office workers, take time at noon to take a nap, the effect is also immediate. The British “Daily Mail” article pointed out that 6 minutes of sleep can play a role in improving memory, 20 to 30 minutes is the best nap time. It is recommended that office workers will nap time after lunch around 1:00, so that not only can maintain the energy of the afternoon, but also will not affect the night’s sleep. The elderly after 3:00 p.m., do not nap again, otherwise the night is prone to insomnia. 4, at least 2 bottles of water The human body through urine, sweating or skin evaporation and other loss of water every day, about 1800 ~ 2000 ml, excluding water contained in food, we drink at least 1200 ml per day (two bottles of mineral water) is enough.

Theoretically, a person should not urinate more than 8 times a day. Seven times during the day and one time at night, which is the optimal ratio. However, the amount of water consumed is different for each person and varies from person to person. Sedentary office workers must develop the habit of drinking water and urination, a hold urine for a maximum of not more than 3 to 4 hours, even if there is no obvious desire to urinate, but also to go to the bathroom to try to urinate. 6, exercise up to 30 minutes of proper exercise can improve the body’s immunity, disease prevention and anti-cancer delay aging, doctors around the world have been “movement” written into the prescription.
