Blood vessels are easy to block here, so move your legs every day to restore the health of your blood vessels

Blood vessels are the conduits for transporting human blood. If the blood vessels are blocked, the blood cannot flow smoothly in the blood vessels, causing various discomforts at least and life-threatening at worst.

Blood clots are hidden killers, and everyone should be aware of thrombophobia.

So do you know where blood clots like to plug? According to research, 20% of blood clots, which seriously threaten our health, are in the cerebral blood vessels, 10% are in the splanchnic blood vessels, and 70% are all concentrated in the lower limbs! 

Many people often have symptoms such as leg numbness, leg coldness, leg cramps, leg pain, and inability to walk fast, which may not be simply old age and lack of calcium, but related to this fatal blood clot.

Self-test method for vascular occlusion

The substance that blocks a blood vessel is called a thrombosis, and once a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, it is like a "time bomb" planted in the blood vessel, and the blockage can occur at any time.

Are your blood vessels clogged? Let's test the health of your blood vessels.

Method 1: Leg lift

At night, before going to bed, lie flat on your back.

Then straighten and raise your feet to about 45 degrees, hold for about 2 minutes, and then observe your legs.

If the legs are pale, or even a little waxy, the skin appears transparent. When the foot is removed and the normal sitting position is resumed, the leg will become flushed again instead of normal red. This indicates that the leg is already suffering from ischemic symptoms.


At this time, it is necessary to go to the vascular surgery department of the hospital for corresponding examinations, and generally through arterial manometry, B-ultrasound and other examinations, the thickness of the blood vessels in the legs, the location of plaques, etc. can be diagnosed.

Method 2: Touch the instep

The foot is the tip of the human body and the farthest point of the heart. Whether there is a problem with the blood vessels, whether the blood is smooth, and whether the feet are the first to feel.
At the highest point in the middle of the instep (the location of the Oshiyo acupoint), you can feel the pulsation by gently touching it. Generally speaking, if you can feel this pulse on a regular basis, it means that the blood flow is very smooth, and it reaches the feet.

If you have soreness in your legs and feet after walking a certain distance and the arteries in your feet are gone, you may have a mild blockage of the arteries.

This is because oxygen consumption is high during exercise, and if there is a blockage, the blood supply will not be timely, and the pulse will be weakened.

A simple trick to restore the health of your blood vessels

If the blood is clean, it is not easy to hide dirt and dirt, and the hemodynamics will be normal, ensuring the health of blood vessels. On the contrary, it affects the normal flow of blood and accelerates the aging of blood vessels.

How to prevent the occurrence of lower limb ischemia? Experts have recommended a set of leg exercises, which can also be done often to improve blood circulation and restore vascular health for people who have had lower limb ischemia but have a mild degree.

(1) Stretch your legs and toes downward, 15 times per group, keep the speed at 1 second 1 time, and do 1 set for each leg;


For the last stroke, you can straighten your leg until it feels tired and then retract and put it down
(2) Stretch the toes back vigorously and repeat the movement of group (1), 15 reps per group, 1 group on the left and right legs.


(1) Hold the chair with both hands and pedal the bicycle with your toes straight for 30 seconds;


(2) Hook your toes back and pedal the bike for 30 seconds.


If you feel that your legs are slightly warm and a little tired, you have achieved the purpose of exercising, and after doing these movements, you can pat your legs with both hands to relax.

If the lower limb is blocked, it will be amputated in a serious way! Do simple health exercises for a few minutes a day to stay away from blood clots!
