Tiptoe health has existed since ancient times
The tiptoe has long been used in ancient times, known as the "Dun Heel Method", and there are records of "Dun Heel to Benefit the Chest" and "Dun Heel, One Dun Left, One Dun Right, Three Hundred Only" in the "Quotation Book" in the early Western Han Dynasty.

Long feet to benefit the body
1. Good for cardiovascular health
When you stand on tiptoe, the amount of blood squeezed out by each contraction of the muscles in the back of both calves is roughly equivalent to the amount of blood excreted by the heart's pulse.
A simple tiptoe movement can keep a person's heart rate at about 150 beats per minute, allowing the blood to supply enough oxygen to the heart muscle. Press the wrist to a place to cure the "heart"! Long press in summer, healthy in the second half of the year!
People with weak kidney qi and insufficient kidney yang often have symptoms such as cold intolerance, cold pain in the heels, and edema of the lower limbs.
3. Relieves low back pain
Nowadays, many office workers have small problems with low back pain and joint pain. The reasons are all due to sedentary and lack of exercise, which leads to poor blood circulation and muscle atrophy.
In this case, you can moderate the stimulation of the lower back muscles by walking briskly for 30 minutes, thereby eliminating low back pain. Add tiptoe walking on top of brisk walking, alternating to achieve better results.
. In the process of tiptoeing, the most direct effect of the skinny calf is to move the legs and feet, complete the tiptoe action under the joint coordination of the limbs, and increase the amount of exercise of the limbs.
The calf muscles are not only exercised by stretching, but also burn fat and become firmer and more elastic. Sticking to it for a long time can create a perfect leg shape, and it also has a good effect on relieving fatigue.
If a person is often sedentary, it is easy to cause the blood in the body to be hindered to a certain extent, which is likely to lead to edema in the human body.
On tiptoe, you can relieve edema, stimulate the muscles of the human legs to become more developed, and the body to become healthier.
