It is said that "the old roots of the tree wither first, and the old legs of the person decay first", many people also pay special attention to calcium supplementation, and some people often ask us in the background: what to eat for osteoporosis? What brand of calcium tablets is good?
Xiaobian does not recommend everyone to buy expensive supplements, let's look at an example first: a 96-year-old master of traditional Chinese medicine used scientific instruments to measure bone density far more than a 60-year-old man, relying not on calcium tablets, but on massage!
In 1989, he was awarded the honorary title of "the first batch of 500 old Chinese medicine heirs in the country" by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Ministry of Personnel, and enjoyed the special allowance of the State Council. In May 2008, he was awarded the title of "Shaanxi Famous Traditional Chinese Medicine". In 2014, he was named the second "Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine".
Let's take a look at this method of leg brace that made the 80-year-old fracture Guo Chengjie heal in 60 days:
Rub your legs back and forth
-
Sit, rub your legs back and forth, you can rub all the way to your calves. Rub your legs according to your own situation, rub 20~30 times.
-
Good bones are inseparable from good muscles, and muscles are the guardians of bones. After the age of 40, people's muscles begin to decrease at a rate of 0.5%~2% per year. Many elderly people have poor legs, not because the bones are not good, but because the leg muscles are missing.

Guo Lao said that the purpose of rubbing from the thighs to the calves is to make the qi and blood vigorous, promote blood circulation, make the muscles strong, and naturally good for the bones.
-
Sit, take turns lifting both legs, more than 20 times a day, lift to a horizontal place, stop for more than ten seconds, and come again in the morning and evening.
< Mr. Guo Chengjie guided the >
-
When you lift your legs, your quadriceps muscles are straightened, and as you straighten and relax, your muscles move and your bones are stimulated. Being active is beneficial to increase bone volume and calcium stores.
One-handed, four-point kneading method
Mr. Guo Chengjie also said that my joints have had patellar malacia. What is patellar malacia is knee pain when going up and down stairs, especially when going down stairs, and then it starts to be rubbed.
I used the following method, and I didn't take any medicine, of course the medicine is useful, and the method of pressing the knee joint is very effective, and it is beneficial to everyone. If you are 40 or 50 years old, start health care, which will be good for you in the future. I'm in my 90s now, and my knee joint is not particularly good, but it's not bad.
< press and rub the knee joint, and press the kneading position > with one hand at four points
-
The inner and outer knees (the two eyes below the knee fossa), the beam mound (the outside of the two fingers on the knee), and the sea of blood (the inner two fingers above the knee) are pressed hard, which is very effective for patellar malacia
< > according to the kneading method
-
Press the four acupuncture points with one hand, the index finger controls the inner knee eye, the ring finger controls the outer knee eye, the thumb controls the blood sea, and the little finger or ring finger controls the beam mound, and directly grasps and rubs. You can also strengthen it, and finally use two thumbs to rub the inner and outer knees once.

This method is a health care method, don't expect to be effective in one day, but long-term kneading is very effective, you can't draw circles, but grab and knead up. 5~6 minutes each time, especially when your knees feel cold, it is especially useful.
helps blood flow and slows down aging
In fact, the strength of the lower limbs is not only to supplement calcium, make the legs and feet better, but also protect our hearts.
Professor Liu Changxin, director of the Tuina Pain Department of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, also said
Taking care of your calves is equivalent to adding a "pump" to the lower part of your body, which can help your heart.
leg is a transportation artery and a disease response area
Yang Li, a health expert and professor at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, pointed out that
50% of the nerves, blood vessels and blood in the human body are in the legs. There are also more than 60 acupuncture points distributed on the calves, and the six important meridians of the Zusanyang Meridian and the Zusanyin Meridian also pass through the calves, which are important transportation arteries for the human body, maintaining the upward and downward movement of qi and blood.
Many diseases will be reflected in the calves, such as calf cramps may be related to calcium deficiency, swelling indicates that the organs are diseased, and cold means that the constitution is weak and cold, etc., and timely detection of symptoms is conducive to early prevention and treatment of diseases.
The stronger the legs, the younger the brain, heart, liver and kidneys
A study by King's College London, University of London, UK, found that the stronger the leg muscles, the healthier the brain. A team led by expert Claire Steffers followed the study for 10 years and found that
among 324 pairs of middle-aged and older twins in women, the one with stronger leg muscles had better cognitive performance and less brain degeneration after 10 years.

Previous studies in animals have also shown that exercising muscle releases hormones that promote the growth of nerve cells.
-
Studies in many countries have shown that strong legs are closely related to the health of important organs such as the heart, lumbar spine, liver, and kidneys!
Regular exercise of the legs can strengthen the hemodynamic force of tissues and organs throughout the body, improve blood supply, and prevent stroke, coronary heart disease, lumbar disc herniation, presbyopia and other diseases.
People should be vigilant when
"Prophet of old legs", the aging and abnormality of the legs may manifest themselves very early, if the following situations occur, it is necessary to pay attention:
The legs and feet are not as agile as they used to be
This is the earliest characteristic of aging. After the age of 40, many people feel that their legs and feet are not flexible, and walking a little more is like their legs are filled with lead, soreness and swelling, and it becomes more and more difficult to climb the stairs, and they are out of breath after not climbing a few floors.
Doing some work hurts my back and legs
Especially for middle-aged women, as long as they stand for a long time, they will feel backache and leg pain. When coughing, there is also radiating pain in the legs. If there is tenderness in the calf, it means that the stomach has begun to "strike".
Before you know it, the pace is getting slower and slower. Occasionally, if you walk faster, you will feel that your legs and feet are not obedient, and you will be sore for many days in a row, and even muscle atrophy.
Chills on one side of your legs
Even in summer, I always feel cold in my calves, and sometimes I feel cold from the buttocks to the heels, and the middle line is cold. This may be caused by poor blood circulation, or it may be related to lumbar disc disease.
If it's not after exercising or because of a cold cramp, it's a sign of osteoporosis. Some people also experience heel pain, which must also be taken care of.
Poor blood circulation and venous thrombosis can lead to leg swelling, which is also a common symptom in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or kidney diseases.
Women are more likely to have this condition, and it can happen after the age of 20. Once the blood vessels in the legs are suddenly very clear and curved like snakes, it means that the blood vessels in the legs are strained.
Almost all joints become fragile with age, especially the hips and knees. If you notice discomfort when descending stairs, squatting or jumping, or even friction and wear on your legs, you can't move, your joints are in dire need of protection.
If the above eight situations occur, then we must pay attention to exercising our legs, according to Guo Lao's method, we can solve the problems of our legs and heart without taking calcium tablets!
