Tiptoeing is a very small action, but it is an ancient method of health care! The elderly usually tiptoe more often, the effect you can not expect.

Tiptoeing

An 800-year old method of health maintenance

The first time I saw this was in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, when it was written in a newly unearthed book called “The Book of Quotations” that “the heel of the body is the center of the chest” and “the heel of the body is the left side of the body and the right side of the body.

The last move of the Eight Duan Jin: the seven reversals of the back and the elimination of a hundred diseases

……………………………………………………………………………..

The last move of the 800-year history of the eight-danjin art is called “behind the seven upsets of a hundred diseases”, which is the way to stimulate the kidney meridian system by turning the heel of the foot, inducing a whole-body vibration and gently massaging the five organs and six internal organs, thus playing a magical role in eliminating a hundred diseases.

Tiptoeing is a good aerobic exercise

✦When standing on tiptoe, the amount of blood squeezed out of the back of the calf muscles on both sides with each contraction is roughly equivalent to the amount of blood discharged by the pulse of the heart.

✦It not only keeps the heart rate at about 150 beats per minute, allowing the blood to supply enough oxygen to the heart muscle, which is good for one’s cardiovascular health, but also exercises the calf muscles and ankles, preventing varicose veins and enhancing the stability of the ankle joint.

✦And, the tiptoe movement can also move the limbs and the mind, eliminating the long time brain concentration and sudden standing and blackness in front of the eyes and dizziness of the mind.

✦ Most importantly, it prevents damage to the knees, which is a good exercise for many older people whose knee joints are not very good.

In addition, tiptoeing has many other benefits that you may not expect.

1. anti-depressant

Depression is caused by the inability of Yang Qi to reach the brain and nourish the marrow, resulting in poor circulation of Qi and blood in the brain, and the cloudy Yin blocking the clear orifices.

Turning the heel can also stimulate the bladder meridian and the foot three yin meridian, including the kidney meridian, spleen meridian, liver meridian, foot three yin yang qi a sufficient, can promote the yang qi on the upper, so that more qi and blood up to the head.

2. subsidize kidney qi

People with weak kidney qi and insufficient kidney yang often have symptoms such as fear of cold, cold pain in the heels and swelling of the lower limbs.

3. can prevent back pain

Due to the wind, cold and dampness into the bladder meridian, resulting in the poor flow of Qi and blood, not pass through the pain.

Stimulating the bladder meridian can open up the meridian qi, and if it passes, there is no pain. Therefore, the upside-down heel method that can stimulate the bladder meridian can also prevent and treat lumbago, cervical spondylosis and posterior headache.

4. can prevent and treat stroke

According to Chinese medicine, all strokes are symptoms of yin and yang deficiency, and cerebral hemorrhage is a symptom of yang energy rushing upwards due to “yin and yang”.

When Yang Qi rushes upward and gathers in the brain, the central nervous system will be stimulated several times more than usual.

Stimulating the root of the foot not only stimulates the flow of qi and blood in the brain, but more importantly, it can lead the floating yang downward, from the bladder and kidney meridians to the bottom of the foot, which is a way to submerge the yang.

5. can prevent and control poor urination

The actual fact is that it is a good idea to have a good deal more than just a few of these. The actual heel stimulation is a little trick to treat the prostate disease.
