Place your hands on your waist, slowly close your eyes and lower your head. Slowly turn your head to the right, then return to the starting position. Repeat 6 times. Then continue 6 more times turning your head to the left then to the center. This exercise helps to improve the flexibility of the neck muscles. Pay attention to turn your head slowly to avoid dizziness.
2. Brush your hair by hand – Prevent headaches, avoid hair loss, premature graying
Rub your hands together 36 times to warm your palms. Then, starting from the forehead area, use the palm of your hand to gently insert the hair, gently massage to the top of the head, to the back of the neck, to the neck. Do 10 times every morning and evening. There are many vital points on your head. Regular brushing of this hairstyle will help prevent headaches, ear problems, premature graying of hair and hair loss.
3. Exercise for the eyes – Maintain eyesight until old age
Close your eyes and then open them again. Roll your eyes around, starting from the left, up, to the right, and then down. Then, close your eyes and then open them again, roll your eyes in the opposite direction, from the right, up, to the left and then down. Repeat 3 times. This exercise can help keep your eyes healthy and maintain good vision as you age.
4. Ear exercises – Improve hearing and memory
Put both hands on your ears and then let go. You will hear a “puff” sound. Repeat 10 times.
Continue to cover your ears with your palms – the wrist guards towards the face, the fingertips towards the nape of the neck. Use 4 fingers to tap the head. Do 10 times before and after sleeping every day to improve your hearing and memory.
5. Brush your jaws together – Brains are sharper and prevent tooth decay
Close your mouth slightly, bring your jaw up and down so that your teeth gently touch each other to make a sound (crack). Repeat 36 times. These movements open up the meridians in the upper and lower jaw, help clear the brain, enhance stomach absorption and prevent tooth decay.
6. Swallow saliva – Balance hormones, promote digestion
Close your mouth slightly, sticking your tongue out in front (outside the teeth). Starting from the top teeth, rotate the tongue in a circle in front of the mouth. Rotate clockwise 12 times, then swallow. Repeat the rotation counterclockwise 12 times.
Close your mouth slightly, this time keeping your tongue inside your mouth. Starting on the upper palate, rotate the tongue in a circle from the left. Repeat 12 times, then swallow. Repeat with the opposite side. As you swallow, imagine the saliva slowly trickling down your belly. There are many enzymes in saliva, which help balance hormones in the stomach and help you digest food.
7. Facial massage – Beautify skin, prevent wrinkles
Rub your hands together 36 times. When the palms are hot, massage the face in an up and down motion, then from the inside out. Regularly doing this helps to improve the skin of the face, especially the skin of the cheeks, preventing wrinkles.

Twist to the left, with the right hand in front and the left hand behind. Use your right hand to pat your lower abdomen and use your left hand to tap the Menh Men point (located on the lower border of the second lumbar vertebra, near the belly button). Repeat in the opposite direction with the rhythm of 50-100 times. These movements help strengthen the function of the stomach and kidneys, preventing indigestion, stomach pain and low back pain.

Rub your hands together 36 times. After warming your hands, put your palms together and massage your belly clockwise around the navel, starting from the small circle to the larger circle for 36 times. This movement improves digestion and absorption of the stomach and prevents bloating.
10. Knee rotation – strengthen the knee joint
Stand with your feet close together, knees closed, and slightly squat down. Place your hands on your knees and twist your body left and right 20 times. This movement strengthens your knee joint over time.

Rub the left foot with the right hand, and the right foot with the left hand. Start at the heel and work your way up to your toes, then back to your heels. Repeat 36 times. Rub the soles of the feet with the thumbs of both hands 100 times. The soles of the feet focus the reflexes of the organs. Regularly massaging your feet can enhance the function of organs, cure insomnia, lower blood pressure and eliminate headaches.
