People's health is inseparable from daily health care. So for middle-aged and elderly people, how to carry out leg health care methods?

First of all, foot bath

Soaking feet with hot water can quickly expand the capillary network of human respiratory mucosa, speed up blood circulation, and make white blood cells in the blood of respiratory mucosa destroy bacteria and viruses invading human body in time to protect human body from infection. Also pay attention to the time and water temperature of soaking feet.

Second, rub your feet

After washing your feet, rub them with your hands and gently rub the relevant parts or acupoints. Massage the whole foot or part, and massage Yongquan (the center of the foot) or Taichong (behind the joint of the first toe and the second toe) or Taixi (the depression between the high point of the inner ankle and the achilles tendon). Can be used for preventing and treating dizziness, insomnia, anorexia, dull complexion, fatigue, hypertension, constipation, etc.

Third, raise your feet.

Lift your feet 2-3 times a day, even higher than your heart. At this time, the blood circulation in the feet and legs is vigorous, and the blood in the lower limbs flows back to the lungs and heart at a faster speed, so that you can get sufficient circulation, and the head can get enough fresh blood and oxygen, which is also a benign stimulus to the acupuncture points and reflex zones of the feet. After marching, the troops all know to use this method to quickly eliminate fatigue, and it is also good to lift their feet at ordinary times.

Fourth, rub your legs and stomach.

Hold one leg tightly in the palm of your hands, knead it and rotate it for about 20 times, and then knead the other leg in the same way. This method can strengthen the leg strength.

Fifth, pull your feet.

Sit down, straighten your legs, bow your head, bend forward, and pull your toes and ankles 20-30 times with your hands to exercise your feet and prevent leg weakness.

Sixth, twist your knees.

Feet together parallel, knees slightly bent, hands on knees, knees in circles, first left and then right, about 20 times each. Can be used for treating lower limb fatigue and knee joint pain.

Seven, jilt leg

When holding an object or holding a wall, first shake the calf forward to raise the toes, and then shake it backwards to force the toes backward, straighten the foot surface and straighten the legs as much as possible. When you throw your legs, your upper body is upright and your legs are exchanged dozens of times. This method can prevent hemiplegia, atrophy and weakness of lower limbs, numbness of legs and cramps of calves.
