Since ancient times, all health-preserving people have attached importance to sports, so they have created various health-preserving sports, such as Baduanjin, Zhanzhu and Taiji, which have brought good news to human health.
There are many sub-healthy people in modern times, and a big reason is sedentary and less active.
Medical research statistics show that 70% of chronic diseases are related to sedentary activities.
However, due to the objective factors of the development of social science and technology, sedentary has become the normal life of many people and cannot be avoided.
Therefore, various body-building exercises, such as swimming, running, playing ball and dancing, have become modern people's health care methods.
No matter what kind of regimen is good for your health, there is no doubt about it, but no matter what kind of exercise you do, I'm afraid few people have such perseverance to achieve the goal of keeping healthy for a lifetime.
However, it would be great if one thing can be done in daily life at home without deliberate persistence and special time, energy and financial resources!
Is there such a good thing? You may not believe it, but it is absolutely possible.
Everyone ignores that housework is the best exercise for everyone to keep fit.
Why do you say that?
First, housework is a whole-body exercise.
Housework requires different postures and movements to complete. Compared with physical exercise, single action and mechanization are more beneficial to health.
For example, cleaning tables, floors, windows, washing clothes and other related actions require all muscles.
Doing the following things well when doing housework is better than a hundred kinds of aerobics.
1. When cleaning cabinets or windows in higher positions, you can stand on tiptoe, stretch your hands upward as far as possible, and wipe them alternately.
When you reach up as far as you can, it's like lacing. There is a saying that a tendon is one inch long and has a life span of ten years.
This action can stimulate the meridians on both sides of the body, which is conducive to conditioning the spleen and stomach and dredging the gallbladder.
Stand on tiptoe and land, stand on tiptoe and land. This repeated action has the functions of dispelling cold and dampness and tonifying kidney.
Because, behind the leg is the distribution of bladder meridian and kidney meridian.
Bladder meridian is the longest yang meridian of human body, and it is also the fastest and most effective meridian to dispel cold and dampness. Tiptoe exercise can open the bladder meridian and help expel cold and dampness toxins from the body.
Feet are farthest from the heart, and it is also the easiest place for qi and blood to reach.
Old people who stand or walk too much for a long time are prone to pain in the soles of their feet and heels, which is also caused by the lack of qi and blood.
There is a cloud in Huangdi Neijing: eyes can see blood, feet can do blood, palms can hold blood, fingers can shoot blood.
In addition, when you stand on tiptoe, the blood squeezed out by each contraction of the posterior muscles of the two calves is roughly equivalent to the output of the heart pulse. This action can make the blood return of lower limbs unobstructed, prevent varicose veins of lower limbs, provide enough oxygen for myocardium, and be beneficial to heart health.
Step 2 wash clothes with both hands
Nowadays, with the popularity of washing machines, many people no longer like washing clothes by hand, wasting an excellent way of keeping in good health.
The hand belongs to the end of the body, and the blood supply is relatively small, which is the place where the meridians of the body are easily blocked.
Washing clothes can not only promote the peripheral circulation of the hand, but also stimulate the acupuncture points on the hand and promote the smooth circulation of the meridians on the hand.
Six of the human body 12 meridians are distributed in the hand, and whether the meridians on the hand are unobstructed is related to the health of the five internal organs.
When washing clothes, I accidentally gave the thenar the best massage.
Massage the soles of feet has the functions of dredging meridians, relieving spasm and pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and blood, promoting digestion and removing blood stasis.
Can be used for treating gastrointestinal diseases such as dizziness, headache, epigastric pain, constipation, and swelling and pain caused by trauma, cervical spondylosis, stiff neck, hemifacial spasm, facial paralysis, etc.
Step 3 get down on your knees and wipe the floor
Old people start with old legs. Old legs start with old knees.
The knee is not the most frequently injured part of the body, but it is the weakest and most demanding joint, because it often bears all the weight of a person, and because of its large range of motion, its structure makes it more vulnerable to injury than hip and ankle joints under impact.
The reason why the knee joint can move freely is that there is lubricating fluid in the joint cavity, and the secretion of this lubricating fluid depends on the supply of qi and blood.
When qi and blood are insufficient, lubricants that are beneficial to knee joint activities will decrease, joint friction damage will increase, and various knee joint diseases will occur.
Knee joint diseases are common in middle-aged and elderly people because with the increase of age, qi and blood will decrease or even fail.
Deficiency of qi and blood can also reduce the temperature of knee joint, resulting in chills and pain.
Kneeling posture can pump blood down to the knee, increase the blood supply of the knee joint, and is beneficial to the recovery of knee joint diseases.
Friends with knee problems can tie a mat when kneeling, reduce the time of kneeling and exercise step by step.
In addition, the whole knee is dominated by spleen and stomach meridians, where qi and blood are abundant, and the decline of body qi and blood will also be reflected here.
If edema, chills and hypothermia appear in human lower limbs, it means that qi and blood in the body are beginning to be insufficient and deficient, and meridians are blocked from the distal end of the body, but edema and hypothermia will not exceed the knee position, because qi and blood are the most vigorous here.
When the edema or cold feeling exceeds the knee, it means that life has reached the point of dying.
Often kneeling can stimulate the stomach meridian, accelerate the replacement of qi and blood, and also help reduce the accumulation of garbage toxins in the lower limbs.
Therefore, kneeling posture can reduce thigh fat.
Kneeling and scrubbing the floor is also conducive to adjusting the spine and reconciling the internal organs.
The internal organs of the body are like grapes hanging on the spine, and their blood supply comes from the spine.
However, it is inevitable that you will cross your legs and lie with Ge You. If you use it for a long time, the spine will be deformed to varying degrees, and the blood supply channels of the spine and viscera will be slightly squeezed and twisted, which will affect the patency of viscera meridians.
Mild deformation and oppression, the human body will not feel obvious discomfort, but the impact on internal organs still exists after all.
When the hands and knees touch the ground, the five zang-organs will naturally droop, and the positions of the five zang-organs and the spine can be readjusted, which is beneficial to dredge the squeezed and twisted blood vessels and meridians supplying the five zang-organs.
Second, doing housework is good for physical and mental pleasure.
Use housework to keep fit, and clean the windows at home at the same time.
Being in a clean environment for a long time will make people feel comfortable and happy, which is conducive to health and longevity.
When housework is regarded as fitness exercise, the body and mind will be relaxed and there is no need for persistent persistence.
But in real life, most people don't like doing housework. Those with superior financial conditions even prefer to pay people to do housework, and spend money on running in the gym and doing yoga.
Whenever I see friends who have lost watermelons and picked up sesame seeds around me, I will pity them.
Therefore, the purpose of posting this article today is to let more people know that health preservation can be easily completed in daily life, and also to benefit more people.
