Christmas❤️ Sweet tips for healthy home celebration❤️

The long-awaited Christmas is approaching. Let's relieve the accumulated fatigue. There is no better place than home to unwind. Here are some ways to spend Christmas healthily at home.

 

◇ Comfortable indoor clothing is essential

 

Let's take off the tight clothes we wear all week and wear loose and comfortable indoor wear on holidays. Cold winter air stiffens muscles and blood vessels, and clothes that cling to the body put pressure on it, hindering smooth blood circulation. Therefore, comfortable indoor wear is recommended at home. Try wearing loose clothes with minimal compression for both underwear and outerwear.

 

Bath water should be below 40 degrees Celsius.

 

When it comes to comfortable relaxation, a bath is indispensable. During cold weather like now, taking a bath becomes even more appealing, but there are a few precautions to keep in mind. The bathwater should be below 40 degrees Celsius. If the water is too hot, blood vessels expand, causing blood pressure to drop, which can be dangerous for patients with low blood pressure. Also, avoid staying in the water for too long. Prolonged exposure to hot water can easily cause skin dryness. Patients with skin conditions should be especially cautious. Therefore, if you want to relieve stress, soaking in lukewarm water at around 36 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes is appropriate.

 

◇ Warm sweet potatoes as a snack

 

The most representative food that comes to mind when thinking of cold weather is roasted sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes contain sugars such as sucrose and glucose, giving them a sweet taste, and are rich in carbohydrates, making them suitable not only as snacks but also as meal replacements. Sweet potatoes are delicious and also high in dietary fiber, which helps with constipation. The skin of sweet potatoes contains enzymes that break down starch, making it effective in preventing cancer, so it is recommended to eat the skin as well.

 

◇ Stretching at home during breaks

 

At home, you mostly spend time sitting or lying down. Prolonged sitting or lying down can easily cause lower back pain. To reduce lower back pain, it is recommended to sit with your back straight, and it is also good to do light stretching whenever you have time. One effective stretch for lower back pain is to extend both arms forward, clasp your hands, then round your back as if pushing it backward, and stretch your hands forward. It is advisable to hold this position for about 10 to 15 seconds and repeat twice.
