It is recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that "the bones are correct and the muscles are soft, and the qi and blood flow freely". Bone health is too critical for longevity, but people's bones often face two problems after the age of 45: too loose bones and too hard bones, which are actually bone irregularities.
By looking at the shape of your legs, you can see whether the bones are correct or not, and put your legs and feet together to see if there are seams in your knees and ankles. In general, the wider the gap, the more serious the bone problem may be.
1 Hard-boned
There are many small holes in the bones through which blood flows, indicating that there are also blood vessels passing through the bones. Therefore, only when the bones and muscles are soft can the qi and blood be unimpeded.
At the age of 20, normal people's bones are very strong, and the osteoarticular space is also wide. As we age, the bone gap becomes smaller and smaller, indicating that the bones are getting harder and the cartilage is worn out, and some people can still hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other when they walk.
Over time, it is easy to cause synovitis, hyperplastic pain or become O-shaped legs, causing inconvenience to daily activities.
2 Bone pine
Normal bones are very dense, and loose bones are brittle and hollow, so it is easy to lead to fractures.
If there is bone irregularity, you can compensate for part of the bone function by making the tendons softer, how to soften the tendons?
