The old roots of the tree are exhausted first, and the old legs of the man are decayed first. Chinese medicine experts believe that in our body, the importance of leg health has already exceeded its supporting role, and the leg can be called the "second heart" of the human body!

50% of our nerves, blood vessels and blood are in our legs. There are more than 60 acupoints on the calf, and six important meridians, Foot Sanyang Meridian and Foot Yin San Meridian, also pass through the calf, which are important communication arteries of the human body and maintain the up-and-down movement of qi and blood. Many diseases will be reflected in the calf. For example, calf cramps may be related to calcium deficiency, swelling indicates visceral diseases, and chills indicate weakness and fear of cold. Finding symptoms in time is beneficial to the early prevention and treatment of diseases. Tiptoe, let the blood supply enough oxygen to the myocardium, which is beneficial to heart and cardiovascular health and can also prevent varicose veins.

Tiptoe regimen

Heel was called "heel pressing method" in ancient times, and there were records of "heel pressing benefiting chest" and "heel pressing, one left and one right, only 300" in the early Western Han Dynasty. In the eight hundred years of "Eight Pieces of Brocade", the last one is called "All Diseases Behind Seven Pieces of Knot". This action is to stimulate the kidney meridian system through tiptoe, induce whole body vibration, and gently massage the five internal organs, thus achieving the effect of eliminating diseases.

Five health benefits of toe tip

Tiptoe exercise is not limited by time and space, which not only strengthens the thigh strength, but also is of great benefit to the body.

1, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

When standing on tiptoe, the blood volume squeezed out by each contraction of the muscles at the back of the two calves is roughly equivalent to the output of the heart pulse.

A simple tiptoe movement can keep people's heart rate at about 150 times per minute, so that the blood can supply enough oxygen to the myocardium and make our minds clearer.

2, eliminate fatigue

You can put your feet together first, stand on tiptoe hard, then relax and repeat it dozens of times a day.

Tiptoe exercise is not limited by venue, time and equipment, and 5 ~ 10 minutes each time can effectively and quickly relieve fatigue.

3. Prevent low back pain

You can moderately stimulate the waist muscles by walking fast for 30 minutes, thus eliminating low back pain. On the basis of brisk walking, it is best to increase tiptoe walking and alternate.

Walking on tiptoe can exercise the calf muscles, gluteal muscles and tibial muscles that are not active in life, and can also stimulate the three yin meridians of the foot.

Mild low back pain 1 month can take effect, and severe low back pain can be obviously improved after half a year, so it should not be intermittent.

Step 4 prevent joint pain

When sitting, the blood around the joint cavity is basically in a stagnant state, and the articular cartilage lacks the water of blood and joint fluid. Over time, cartilage aging will occur, which is easy to cause knee joint wear.

When sitting, occasionally straighten the instep and stand on tiptoe, which can drive the blood flow of lower limbs and protect the knees.

5, improve hemorrhoids

Whenever we stand on tiptoe, our toes will be stressed, and we will unconsciously lift our anus, so that the muscles in the anus will contract and the blood will return, thus improving the congestion effect of hemorrhoids.

Tiptoe is the simplest aerobic activity. Taking a few minutes to do this action every day can also relieve the edema of the legs, help to shape the body and stovepipe, and is also of great benefit to the body.

Four kinds of toe exercises

Tiptoe exercise is very simple. If you really can't spare the time, you must sit at your desk for a long time, at least don't forget to tiptoe.

1, walk on tiptoe

Take 30 to 50 steps at a time, take a break, and then repeat several groups according to your physical condition. The speed can be adjusted by itself, making you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Step 2 sit on tiptoe

Varicose veins are usually caused by lack of exercise in the legs, which leads to blood stasis and varicose veins. Tiptoes can just stretch the calf, promote blood circulation and relax.

Stand with your feet together, firmly grasp the back of the chair, take your toes as the support point, lift your heels up and down once and then fall down, and do it repeatedly. You can do it 4~8 times a day.

If there is no suitable chair, you can also hold the wall with both hands. This can enhance the muscle strength of the calf and prevent the phenomenon of mopping the floor due to insufficient leg strength.

3, stand on tiptoe when urinating

For women, the enhancement of pelvic floor muscles means the enhancement of sexual feelings and helps to reach orgasm.

For men with chronic prostatitis and prostatic hypertrophy, tiptoe can also make urination smoother.

If you can persist for a month or half a year and do this tiptoe exercise five or six times a day, you can achieve good results in strengthening fitness.

Step 4 lie on tiptoe

When resting in bed, keep your legs straight and hook your toes. You can do it with your feet together or practice on one foot.

If you feel uncomfortable in your calf, stop and have a rest. Do it 20-30 times each time, and the speed can be adjusted by itself.
