Functions and benefits of squat exercise
The benefits of squat exercise enhance sexual function.

Squat exercise can strengthen the muscles of the inner thigh, including adductor muscles, which is directly related to sexual ability. In addition, because it can make the blood and lymph easily accumulated here return, it will promote the activity of reproductive organs, and sexual function will gradually decline after middle age. If you can persist in squatting for a long time, your sexual function will gradually improve.

The weight loss effect is obvious

Squat can consume a lot of calories and lose excess fat, especially the fat accumulated on the buttocks and thighs; In addition, when squatting, the abdomen is squeezed, which promotes the burning and decomposition of fat around abdominal organs, reduces the accumulation of fat, and also stimulates the digestion of food in the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the secretion of digestive enzymes.

Exercise can relax the spirit.

You can put aside your troubles, put down the pressure of life, relax your spirit, adjust your mood, increase the fun of life, and be good for your physical and mental health.

Can delay the decline of the brain

If the legs are aging (mainly muscles, bones and joints), the brain will also age; After the aging of the legs, people's activities decrease, the opportunities for the senses to accept new information decrease, the stimulation from the outside decreases, and the brain cells are no longer active, so people will become dementia; Squatting can strengthen the activities of the legs and strengthen the connection with the outside world, which can not only delay the decline of the brain, but also further increase the intelligence.

Strong joints and bones

Squatting can enhance the range of motion of waist, hip, knee and ankle, enhance the flexibility of knee joint and delay the aging of joint. If the joints are not active, the bones will become fragile, and calcium will be lost to the blood and accumulated in the kidneys and bladder, leading to dysuria and bacterial reproduction. Therefore, regular use and exercise of joints is the key to staying young forever.

Can enhance muscle strength

Regular squat exercises can enhance muscle strength, especially the muscle strength of lower limbs; The leg strength is enhanced, which can effectively prevent falling. When you walk, you will feel relaxed and full of energy.

If human muscles are used moderately, they will be more developed, but if they are abandoned or overused, they will degenerate.

Can improve blood vessel function.

It can dilate arterioles and arterioles, reduce the peripheral resistance of the heart, improve the elasticity of arterioles and arterioles and effectively reduce blood pressure.

Can reduce blood lipid

Squat exercise can stimulate the meridian system, enhance the transport function of spleen meridian, promote the decomposition of atherosclerotic plaque on blood vessel wall, reduce blood viscosity, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein in blood, increase high-density lipoprotein, promote lipid metabolism, improve blood vessel elasticity and effectively prevent atherosclerosis, which is of great significance to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Can promote metabolism

Squat movement mainly relies on the flexion and extension of legs to support the body weight above the trunk; When squatting, the weight of the body depresses the blood vessels in the leg muscles, accelerating the venous blood flow of the lower limbs to the heart; When the body gets up, it relieves the pressure of the body weight on the muscles of the lower limbs, and the arterial blood pumped by the heart quickly enters the lower limbs, so squat down, get up, and squat down again and again, like? Pump? The function of accelerating blood circulation and metabolism; Strengthen blood circulation, increase blood volume, effectively improve myocardial blood supply and metabolism; The blood circulation is strengthened, the nutrition and oxygen supply of pancreas and other organs are fully improved, and the function of insulin-secreting cells returns to normal, which can effectively control diabetes.
