Aunt Chen replied, don't underestimate this toe, there are many benefits! I have had low back pain for five years, and I have improved a lot in the past half month.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "seven pimples on the back make all diseases disappear", which means to stimulate acupuncture points on the feet by tiptoeing. Because the foot is closely related to the kidney meridian system, it can radiate to other organs of our body, thus achieving the purpose of health preservation.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the foot is a very important part, especially the heel.
The meridians that flow through the heel include the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, the Yangqiao pulse and the Yinqiao pulse with eight odd meridians, and a branch of the Kidney meridian of Foot Shaoyin enters the heel. Therefore, if proper tiptoe exercise can be carried out, it will promote the blood circulation of these meridians, thus achieving the effect of health preservation.
Although tiptoeing is only a small gesture, if you can persist for at least one month, your health will be obviously improved:
First of all, proper tiptoe training can prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Because when we stand on tiptoe, the blood volume squeezed out by the muscles at the back of our calves is almost the same as our heart pulse, and it can also speed up the number of heart rate beats, so that blood can provide sufficient oxygen for the myocardium, which is good for cardiovascular health.
Secondly, tiptoeing can prevent and relieve low back pain.
You can try walking when you have low back pain. If you can keep walking for 30 minutes every day, you can effectively improve low back pain. If we can add tiptoe walking and rotation on this basis, we can better relieve low back pain.
Because tiptoe can not only exercise calf muscles, but also exercise gluteal muscles and tibial muscles that are not active at ordinary times, and can also stimulate the three yin meridians of the foot.
Generally speaking, patients with mild low back pain symptoms can see the effect in about a month; If the symptoms of low back pain are serious, it can be obviously improved if it lasts for more than half a year, but it cannot be interrupted halfway.
Besides, walking on tiptoe is not only beneficial, but also simple. So, everyone can try it if they have nothing to do.
There are many kinds of toe exercises. You can stand on tiptoe, stand on tiptoe or lie on tiptoe. Look down with Xiao Jiu.
1, walk on tiptoe
The number of steps for a walk should be at least 30~50, and you can take a short rest after completion, and then decide to repeat several groups according to your own situation. You can control your own speed, mainly because you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Step 2 sit on tiptoe
First of all, keep sitting, feet side by side, grab the back of the chair; Then take the toes as the support point, lift the heels up and down with your feet and land once, usually more than 4 times a day, 10 times or more. This kind of tiptoe exercise can help stretch our calves, promote blood circulation, relax blood vessels and avoid congestion.
Step 3 lie on tiptoe
Lie on the bed or mat first, then put your legs together and keep them straight. After the toe hook, you can do it with both feet at the same time or practice with one foot, 20-30 times each time.
Although tiptoeing is a simple action, there are still some things to pay attention to: people who are older, have inconvenient hands and feet or have serious symptoms of osteoporosis must pay attention to safety when tiptoeing and never fall. In addition, although it is good to stand on tiptoe, don't push too hard, otherwise it will easily lead to heel pain.
Generally speaking, people's feet have many acupoints, which can be stimulated by tiptoeing to achieve the effect of health preservation. Therefore, everyone can stand on tiptoe when something happens. However, be careful not to use too much force, otherwise it is easy to strain the hamstring tendon.
