人類的十個最佳時間

got this from uncle kk.. thought it's good to share!!


人類的十個最佳時間

1. 唸書的最佳時間

早上 醒來頭腦一定會昏昏的，但去洗把臉後，就會清醒多了，這時也是頭腦最清醒的時候，而在此時唸書或是記東西都會比較容易！

2. 運動的最佳時間

在 早晨 的時候出去散散步是不錯的， 因為早晨的空氣是最新鮮的，在散步時多呼吸些清新的空氣，不僅可以提神，對身體又很有幫助，但切記不要做劇烈運動 喔！

3. 吃水果的最佳時間

飯前一小時 吃水果最有益，因為水果是生食，吃生食再吃熟食，體內就不會有白細胞增高的反應，有利於保護人體免疫系統，增強防病抗癌的能力。

4. 鍛煉的最佳時間

傍晚時 鍛鍊身體是最好的，因為人的各種活動都受〝生物鐘〞的影響，無論是身體的適應或體力的發揮都在下午近傍晚時分最佳，早上則反之，運動時的血壓和心率都較傍晚時高，對人體有害。

5. 洗澡的最佳時間

晚上臨睡前 ，洗一次溫水澡能讓全身的肌肉和關節放鬆，有助於安然入睡。

6. 減肥的最佳時間

飯後45分鐘 。在二十分鐘內散步行程 1600米 ，最有利於減肥。
如過二小時後再散步二十分鐘，則減肥效果更佳。

7. 睡眠的最佳時間

午睡最好從 午後一小時開始 ，這時身體感覺較遲鈍，很容易入睡。
晚上則以 十時至十一時上床最佳 ，因為人的深睡時間一般在淩晨二時至淩晨三時， 而人在睡後一個半小時進入深睡狀態。

8. 刷牙的最佳時間

應在每次 進食後三分鐘內 ，因為飯後三分口腔內的細菌開始分解食物殘渣中的酸性物質，腐蝕溶解牙釉質。

9. 護膚的最佳時間

人體皮膚的新陳代謝夜間十二時至凌晨六時最為旺盛，因此 睡前護膚 有促進和保護皮膚新陳代謝及保護皮膚健美的作用。

10. 飲茶的最佳時間

飯後立即喝茶不科學，因為飯後立即喝茶，茶葉中的鞣酸可與食物中的鐵結合成不溶的鐵鹽，降低鐵的吸收，時間長了容易誘發貧血，等 飯後一小時 ，食物中的鐵質已基本吸收完畢，這時喝茶就不會影響鐵的吸收了。

我親愛的朋友！希望人人都能選對時間，才有健康的身體。
