Swinging your feet from side to side helps promote sleep

Yoshiko pianping, author of the Japanese book “promoting the flow of three kinds of body fluids for health”, explains that cerebrospinal fluid, as one of the three important body fluids, originates from the spine, circulates through the human body, and flows back to the heart, which has a great impact on health. If its secretion is dysregulated and its flow is not smooth, it will cause insomnia and other problems. In the face of computer study and work, modern people sit still for a long time. In the long run, it will compress the lumbar spine and even the whole spine, affecting the normal circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. To this end, she introduced a set of simple and easy exercise methods to promote the secretion and flow of cerebrospinal fluid, so as to improve sleep.

1. Lie on your back, relax your body, straighten your legs, and place your hands on your hip bones (both sides of your lower abdomen). The heels of both feet extend forward in turn, 10 times each, 2-3 seconds each time, which stretches the spine.

2. Lie on your back, lift your chin, tilt your neck back, and look at the top of your head as far as possible. It is appropriate to tighten your chin, and then recover. Repeat for three times to stretch and relax your cervical spine.

3. Lie on your back with your legs straight and your feet close together, swinging left and right like a car wiper. Do each action for 3-5 seconds and repeat for 10-20 times, which can relax your lumbar spine and improve your sleep.
