The starting point of aging is here! Pressing the calf and turning the toes can activate the brain.
Jing Ozawa (orthopedic surgeon, president of Respiratory Stretching Hospital) has a saying that "aging begins with the feet", but in fact "the aging of the spine also begins with the feet". Different lengths of the left and right legs will cause the pelvis to tilt, and the spine above the pelvis will naturally tilt. The foot is an important part to maintain the young spine and brain. Moreover, especially in preventing brain aging, it is the calf that attracts attention. If you look at people in a daze, you will find that their calves are as thin as sticks, without exception. The human calf shoulders the same important responsibility as the heart, just like a pump, which is responsible for sending blood to the whole body. If the calf muscles are weak because of weight loss, the calf will not be able to deliver enough blood to the brain, resulting in insufficient nutrition and insufficient operation of the brain. Put your hands on the floor and gently press your hips from a kneeling position to a slightly forward position. Put the back of your right foot on your left calf. Then sit on your hips, apply weight and feel comfortable. Hold for thirty seconds. Slowly move back to the part to be * * *. After moving to the achilles tendon, do the same with the other foot. When you feel that the muscles of your calf are declining, or your head is becoming dull, you should start to develop the habit of stretching your calf in addition to doing basic spinal stretching exercises. The stretching exercise mentioned above is a simple action, which can be done while watching TV or taking a shower. These actions can also eliminate foot fatigue or edema after a whole day.

The epitome of the brain! In the reduced world, people think that the root of the big toe of the foot is connected with the cervical vertebra. Therefore, if you turn the big toe of your foot greatly, you can relax the cervical spine and slightly relieve the pain in your shoulder and neck. And it can improve the blood flow around the cervical vertebra, so the blood will flow to the brain better. In addition, it is considered that the big toe of the foot directly corresponds to the brain, and the "foot reflex" of the body is restored by using the reflex zone located at the sole of the foot. So as long as you rub the big toe of your foot, you can achieve the effect of activating the whole brain. In oriental medicine, it is believed that there are meridians (channels of qi, blood and water) passing through ankles and knees along the big toe, and then reaching the hip joint. Therefore, as long as you use the big toe, you can improve the movement of the hip joint, walk more smoothly, and prevent the fall caused by long-term bed rest or dementia. In addition, the big toe of the foot also acts as a brake, while the little toe acts as a throttle. It is easy to fall when you are old, all because your big toe is weak and your brakes are not working. By turning the big toe of the foot, the brake of the foot can become smart, so it can also effectively prevent falling. Sit cross-legged, grab the left and right big toes with both hands, and circle inward and outward eight times as much as possible.
