If you want to live a long life, you must first raise your legs! Teach you 5 movements for your legs to not get old, and the sooner you do it, the better

It has been said that the foot is the "second brain" of the human body. Why is this so?
 
The foot is the health hub of the human body, it has more than 40 acupuncture points, and interacts with the meridians of the human body, hiding thousands of peripheral nerves. This means that the internal organs and torso of the human body echo each other with the feet.


If the feet are suddenly stimulated by cold, it will reflexively cause the constriction of the capillaries in the respiratory tract, causing discomfort such as chills, nasal congestion, and sneezing.

It can be seen that the feet can naturally reflect people's health, and they are closely related.


 As we age, our feet are quietly getting older

 
As the saying goes, "old feet decay first", that is, the feet will age faster than age.

After 35 years of experimental observation, a Japanese expert found that people can stand upright with their feet neatly together at the age of 6, and gradually separate after the age of 30, and when the feet cannot be brought together, it proves that aging has begun.
 
If you notice that your feet are showing the following characteristics, it is evidence that it is getting old:


• Significant loss of flexibility: the water content of the tendons becomes low, and the joints are tight and stiff;

• Soreness on the soles of the feet: Thinning of the fat pads on the soles of the feet due to the loss of collagen;

• Cracked skin on the feet: calluses, rough and cracked to the touch;

• Discomfort in the feet: Poor blood circulation makes the hands and feet cold, and cramps and numbness often occur.
 
 Beware of these bad habits that "ruin the feet"
 
of the aging of the feet, Not only is it related to age, but some bad behaviors and habits in daily life may unknowingly hurt our feet.

Love to walk barefoot


 
Some people are accustomed to walking on the floor barefoot without shoes when they return home, which will actually cause some damage to their feet.
 
This is because the sole of the foot is curved, which is suitable for walking on undulating and soft ground, while walking directly on a flat surface, the curvature of the sole of the foot cannot match it, and the lack of cushioning power will hurt the heel and joints over time.

Make a pig of oneself

 
People who love to eat greasy, fried and other foods can easily soar in weight, which eventually leads to obesity. However, the weight or load of the human body is mainly concentrated in the cartilage of the inner knee joint, which happens to be a common part of joint pain in most obese people.
 
Therefore, obesity can increase the pressure on the feet, causing joint pain, Achilles tendonitis and other harms. It is recommended that obese people exercise through swimming, yoga and other exercises to reduce the impact on the soles of their feet and prevent foot injuries.

Wear these shoes often

 
Female friends love to wear flat shoes, high heels or pointed-toe shoes, and if they are worn regularly, it is easy to hurt the soles of their feet.
 
Flats do not provide arched support for the feet, which can easily lead to excessive sunken soles of the feet, which is similar to walking barefoot;
 
Wearing high heels can cause more weight to shift towards the metatarsals, making the forefoot feel pressure and pain, and long-term accumulation can lead to pressure fractures;
 
In addition, pointed-toe shoes with short, tight toe toes tend to bend the toe and squeeze the thumb ball area.

 
 
  
If you want to maintain a healthy state of your feet, you may wish to try to achieve the purpose of maintenance through health exercises and simple movements.
