drink less water, and especially avoid drinking much so as not to increase the
burden of heart and kidney.

Slightly bend knees, and slowly bend the body
down. Relax back and shoulders, touch the legs
and toes as close as possible with hands, keep
for 10~15 seconds and then relax. Repeat for
three times. (see picture 1)
2. Hamstring stretching
Sit on a clean cushion, stretch one leg straight,
bend the other leg inside to cling to the inner
side of the straight leg, touch the legs and toes
as close as possible with hand, keep for 10~15
seconds and then relax. Repeat for three times
for each leg. (see picture 2)
