Tiptoeing, don't look at it as a small action, but it is an ancient health method! Middle-aged and elderly people usually tiptoe a lot, and the effect is unexpected for you.
Continuing to use 800 years of health care method
tiptoe has been used in ancient times, originally known as "Dun heel method", the newly unearthed early Western Han Dynasty "Quotation Book" has "Dun heel to benefit the chest" and "Dun heel, a Dun left, a Dun right, three hundred only" records.
▲The last trend of Baduanjin: Behind the seven ups and downs, all kinds of diseases are eliminated
With a long history of 800 years, the last movement of the Eight Duanjin of the Guidance and Health Preservation Technique is called "Behind the Seven Bumps and Hundred Diseases", which is also through the way of tiptoeing, stimulating the kidney meridian system, inducing the whole body shock, and gently massaging the five internal organs, so as to play a miraculous effect of eliminating all diseases.
Tiptoe is a good aerobic exercise
: 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.
It not only keeps the heart rate at about 150 beats per minute, so that the blood can supply enough oxygen to the heart muscle, which is beneficial to people's cardiovascular health, but also exercises the calf muscles and ankles, prevents varicose veins, and enhances the stability of the ankle joint.
In addition, tiptoe exercises can also move the limbs and mind, eliminating the problems of blackening in front of the eyes and dizziness when using the brain for a long time and standing up suddenly.
Most importantly, it avoids damage to the knee, which is a good exercise for many elderly people who don't have a good knee joint.
The
miraculous effect of tiptoeing
depression is because the yang energy cannot reach to nourish the brain and marrow, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood in the brain, and the turbidity and yin are closed to the clear body.
At the same time, the heel can also stimulate the bladder meridian and the three yin meridians of the feet, including the kidney meridian, spleen meridian, and liver meridian, and the three yin meridians of the feet can be used to promote yang qi to the upper side, so that more qi and blood can reach the head and face.
. People who are weak in kidney qi and lack of kidney yang often have symptoms such as fear of cold, cold pain in the heel, and edema of the lower limbs.
3. It can prevent and treat low back pain
due to wind, cold, dampness, and evil guests entering the bladder meridian, resulting in poor flow of qi and blood, and pain if it is not passed.
Stimulating the bladder meridian can open the meridian qi, and the general rule is not painful, so the heel reversal method that can stimulate the bladder meridian can also prevent and treat low back pain, cervical spondylosis, and posterior headache.
. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all strokes are the symptoms of yin and yang deficiency caused by the decay of true yang, and cerebral hemorrhage is the symptom of yang qi uprush caused by "yin sheng geyang".
When Yang Qi rushes upwards and gathers in the brain, the central nervous system will be stimulated several times more than usual.
Stimulating the root of the foot can not only stimulate the flow of qi and blood in the brain, but more importantly, it can lead the floating yang downward, from the bladder meridian and kidney meridian to the soles of the feet, which is a method of latent yang.
5. It can prevent and treat poor urination
in men, according to Western medicine, it is prostate disease, which is more common in prostatic hypertrophy, prostatitis, etc.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by unfavorable bladder gasification. Stimulating the heel is a trick to treating prostate disease.
