If you are aware of these important areas in the body and take good care of them on a regular basis, you can certainly improve your health and boost your productivity. Where are these hidden golden triangles in the body and why are they so important? Here are a few examples. Neck Golden Triangle: Afraid of cold Neck Golden Triangle The golden triangle of the neck refers to the area below the posterior occipital bone including the first and second cervical vertebra. It is called the golden triangle because there are many vascular nerves on both sides of this area. If you have to maintain a prolonged sitting posture regularly due to your work or sleep on a hard and high pillow, you are doing more damage to your neck without awareness. This can cause a sore neck and even diminish the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, so the cervical vertebra becomes straight and presses the surrounding vascular nerves, which can lead to cervical spondylosis, headache, dizziness, nausea, etc. Now, you have just realized that your stubborn headache is likely triggered by your neck, not necessarily from your head. Tips for the maintenance of the Neck Golden Triangle:Move and rotate your neck gently in all directions after maintaining the same posture for about one hour. You can also use your hands to massage the muscles around your neck, and your neck would appreciate that.When you sleep, don’t sleep on a high pillow, a fist distance would be high enough for the pillow.Don’t let the air conditioner directly blow against your neck, which can cause a sore neck and even a cold.Always make sure that your head, neck, shoulders, and back posture are in alignment. Shoulder Golden Triangle: Afraid of heavyweight and inactivity The shoulder golden triangle refers to the left and right triangles formed by the back shoulders and shoulder blades. It is surrounded by the deltoid muscles on both sides. The range of motion around this area is relatively large, but the ligaments around the joints are not very strong. Therefore, excessive exercise or lifting of heavy objects can easily strain the muscles around this area and also causes joint dislocation. The elderly are more prone to periarthritis of the shoulder due to the long period of inactivity of the shoulder joints, which is also known as the “fifty shoulders.” Tips for the maintenance of the Shoulder Golden Triangle:The backpack should not be too heavy, it is better to use both shoulders to balance the weight.After sitting for a long time, it is a good idea to do some shoulder exercises, such as swinging both arms in a circular motion.Warm up before exercise to fully stretch muscles and ligaments.The amount of exercise should be moderate.

The mucosa of this area is closely connected with the muscular layer. It is at high risk of bladder tuberculosis and tumors due to lack of submucosal tissue in this area.If you have urinary retention or increased frequency of urination, it may be that the muscles in this triangle area are loose or infected with bacteria. Attention and proper care should be given to this area, especially during the summer. Tips for the maintenance of the Bladder Golden Triangle:Ensure adequate hydration every day to flush the toxins in the bladder out of the body. It is recommended to drink no less than 1500 ml per day.Do not hold the urine.Keep the urethral opening clean with daily care.What is the hidden cause of bladder infection for women?
