Volgograd Neurologist on Laziness Benefits for Final Holiday
Five of the most beneficial ways for health to spend the last holiday in Volgograd before the work year were given by Oksana Lisina, a top-category neurologist and deputy chief physician at the Family Medicine Clinic of Volgograd State Medical University (VolgGMU). Even following these simple actions will be enough to change brain activity in a positive way, rest, and relieve mental tension.
«Sometimes even active weekends with guests, bars, meetings with friends, travels, and theaters can reboot the brain with an abundance of impressions and emotions,» says Oksana Lisina. «Just sleeping all day is not a solution either, as the body falls out of circadian rhythms and cannot properly rest or stay awake.»
Options for genuine rest that, according to Oksana Lisina, truly reduce mental fatigue:
A purposeless walk in the forest or park returns one to natural sensory perception and relaxes the brain — the aromas and sounds of the forest, the crunch of snow, movement, and breathing. Walks are very beneficial for the brain;
Put away gadgets, turn off the TV, just wander around the house, look out the window, feel bored, lie down and stare at the ceiling in solitude and silence — this is a powerful reboot that we underestimate and call laziness, but it«s a luxury in our time that allows one to hear their true desires and not confuse them with targeted advertising. Incredibly beneficial for the brain is also giving up gadgets;
Slow down: just do everything twice as slowly, don»t listen to sped-up audio or video, don«t exceed speed limits, stop rushing, simply allow the brain to process information more thoroughly and sequentially. It will thank you;
Rewatch favorite films and listen to favorite tracks on repeat, which the brain knows from start to finish — helps relieve anxiety, relax, and reboot;
Sometimes you need to brake, slow down, and exhale, so as not to miss what»s important in the endless hustle and bustle and to listen to yourself.
Recall that earlier Oksana Lisina spoke about the deadly danger of sleep deprivation both on weekdays and holidays, warning that the phrase «I»ll catch up on sleep on the weekends« is an extremely dangerous misconception that causes catastrophic harm to health, leading to persistent depression, heart attacks, strokes, and premature death.
