1. Promote blood circulation. Blood flows in the blood circulation system composed of heart and blood vessels, conveying nutrients and discharging waste. Promoting blood circulation is very important for health. Healthy people have a pair of feet, but have you ever thought about how much pressure your feet are under? A person weighing 68 kilograms will bear 260 kilograms of pressure on his feet every step. On average, your feet bear 2.6 million kilograms of pressure every day. This number is equivalent to about 40,000 people stepping on your shoes. In the human body, the foot is farthest from the heart. If the peripheral circulation of the foot is blocked, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to poor metabolism of tissues and organs in the whole body and decreased function. Foot massage can make the blood circulation of the foot smooth, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, accelerate the metabolism of the body, supplement nutrition, and make your body run healthily and normally.
2. Regulating the nervous system The nervous system plays a leading role in the body. Nerve tissue is distributed in all parts of the human body and plays an extremely important role in controlling and regulating the activities of the body. The important and complex physiological functions of nerve tissue are all accomplished through reflex activities, and the basis for completing this activity is neurons. Neurons ensure the internal unity of the body through reflex activities, so that the functional activities of various organs can better adapt to the changes of the external environment. The foot is rich in nerve tissue. By effectively stimulating the plantar reflex zone, the functions of corresponding tissues and organs can be adjusted, so that the normal ones become stronger and the abnormal ones are improved and restored.
3. Dredge the meridians, and the qi and blood meridians have the function of connecting the viscera and limbs. The internal organs, limbs, facial features, nine orifices and bones and muscles of the human body mainly rely on the communication of the meridian system to make the body coordinate and unify. Meridian has the functions of activating qi and blood, nourishing the whole body, resisting external evils and defending the body. Meridian belongs to zang-fu organs, and the external collateral is connected with limbs, which connects zang-fu organs and body surface and connects human organs and organs into an organic whole.
4. Foot massage is the best way to prevent diseases and keep fit, which is simple and easy. Yongquan point on the sole of the foot is the "heart" part of the human body, where turbidity drops. Yongquan point is located at the junction of forefoot 1/3 and posterior 2/3, where the toe is depressed when flexed. When massaging, you can rub Yongquan point on your right foot with your left hand and massage your left and right feet repeatedly 100 ~ 200 times. You can also use the soles of your feet to rub against each other until the soles of your feet feel hot; You can also rub all parts of the whole foot. Regular massage of Yongquan point can benefit kidney, strengthen tendons and bones, strengthen brain and improve intelligence, soothe the liver, improve eyesight and promote sleep. It has certain curative effect on dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus and prevention and treatment of hypertension caused by kidney deficiency. At the same time, soaking feet with hot water of about 40 degrees for 30 minutes before going to bed can promote blood circulation of feet, eliminate fatigue and regulate viscera physiology. However, some people are used to soaking their feet with too hot water, which will cause excessive expansion of blood vessels in the feet, accelerated blood circulation and heart rate, and more blood in the body will flow to the lower limbs, which will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, brain and kidney organs, increase the burden on the heart, and be detrimental to the health of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which should be paid attention to.
