In the health world, the foot has always been called the "second heart of the human body"!
The foot is obviously the end of the limb, and there is no important organ distribution, why is it so important to the human body?
In terms of physiological function, the role of the foot is to support the weight of the human body, complete the basic walking, activities, in layman's terms, the foot is the body's puffy organs.
It is the same as other parts, it is a living organism. It is connected by blood vessels, nervous system and other parts, and the foot can reflect both the health of the body and the operation of other organs!
Moreover, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, the foot also has a large number of acupuncture points and veins, which correspond to various organs of the body. Through certain activities of the foot, massage, etc., it can play a role in health care.
In particular, regular "tiptoeing" exercises have three benefits:
1. Prevent hemorrhoids from appearing, so that your bowel movements are getting smoother and smoother
One data survey shows that modern people spend much more than 8 hours a day sedentary, or even 12 hours. Prolonged sedentary periods can cause slower blood circulation in the lower extremities and obstruction of blood return.
When venous blood cannot flow normally, the venous plexus in the rectum is prone to dilation and blood pressure stasis, which eventually leads to the appearance of hemorrhoids.
For office workers, doing tiptoe exercise every day can play a role in preventing hemorrhoids.
Because tiptoeing will cause muscle contractions and allow blood to do a better job of returning. When the blood flow is smooth, the incidence of hemorrhoids will naturally decrease.
Moreover, tiptoeing does not require the assistance of fitness equipment, nor does it delay working hours, which is the best way to exercise.
2. Prevent deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities
In the past, everyone's cognition of thrombosis stayed on arterial vascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, which were directly related to thrombosis.
But in fact, the veins are also prone to blood clots, especially in the sedentary family with little long-term activity, the venous blood return of the lower limbs is not smooth, and it is easy to generate deep vein thrombosis.
Once the thrombus falls off and enters the lungs with blood circulation, it will cause severe pulmonary embolism to appear, and even sudden death in a short period of time.
If you often do tiptoeing movements, the muscles behind the calves will be in a tight state when tiptoeing, and the amount of blood on the basis of each contraction is large, which has certain benefits for promoting blood circulation in the lower limbs.
At the same time, this action can also promote people's heart rate to speed up, maintain blood circulation, so that the brain and heart can get sufficient oxygen supply, and also help prevent arterial thrombosis.
3, your joints are getting healthier
If you have the habit of walking and exercising every day, you can prevent the effect of psoas muscle strain. If you can increase tiptoe walking on the basis of walking exercise, the process of alternating between the two can alleviate the symptoms of low back pain and lumbar muscle strain.
In addition, for people who have been sedentary for a long time, regular tiptoe exercises can also play a role in protecting the knee joint;
Because when the blood circulation in the lower extremities is not smooth, the blood around the joint cavity will also be in a state of stagnation. Joint cartilage, which is constantly lacking in the nourishment of fresh blood, is prone to aging problems and joint wear and tear can be aggravated.
When sitting, through straightening, tiptoeing and other movements, you can promote blood circulation in the lower limbs and play a role in protecting the knee joint!
