According to a Canadian study, all other factors affecting health (such as income, education, medical resources, etc.), the urban residents with higher urban development will be healthier than the urban residents with lower urban development.

Isn't this exactly the opposite of what ordinary people understand? According to the researcher, this is because the people with high development will have developed transportation tools. People are used to walk to the station and take the transportation tools to and from work. The number of opportunities for walking invisibly will be more than those who drive, so their bodies will naturally be healthier.

A society's emphasis on "foot" can be regarded as a society's emphasis on the quality of life. Many people emphasize the importance of regulating the cardiopulmonary function. Few people have thought that if they lack the ability to move the double feet, even if they have the strong cardiopulmonary function, where can you experience this rich world?

Five minutes a day, do healthy foot exercises

The ancestors of humans - monkeys or apes. Their foot activity is no less than that of their hands. Monkeys live on trees, and their foot palms must be able to firmly grasp the branches and trees like their palms. Therefore, the most primitive design of foot is to be able to grasp things, and it is an organ with high intelligence and activity. In addition, even the long-range spirits that are active on trees, such as primitive people or gorillas, must use their strong and gripped feet to push them up on the rough and uneven land. When foot fractures and injuries are injured, the old concept of orthopedics in the past was often to cast the injured foot, and then do not move, rest, and avoid activities. After a few months, the appearance of the foot is cured and the treatment will end. But can the function be restored?

Many patients undergo repositional fixation or reconstruction surgery due to fractures or deformations. For several weeks to several months, they often experience abnormal pain and dysfunction when they are about to step on the ground. How long will the patient ask me to recover? I said, "Only by walking more, you will recover. The foot is alive, not just the machine will change parts."

Now with the advancement of technology, we hope to achieve a more positive mission and meaning in medicine. We no longer focus only on external recovery, but also want to take care of functional recovery. Therefore, under the new concept of invasive orthopedics, once the bone is broken, in addition to performing good fixed retention, the foot must also be activated early to avoid weakening of function. Because "foot" is a place where nerves and muscles are very complicated, it must be stimulated at any time to prevent its function from deteriorating or becoming irritated. Therefore, to have a pair of healthy feet, you must exercise more.

In summary, we should always train our feet and toes, and spend at least five minutes a day to move our feet on the ground or floor to maintain our feet's functional health. Because the toes connect many tendons, if they are not used, it may cause some acquired problems, such as opening foot and acquired flat foot. Move your foot and try it (see the picture below):

◆Step 1: Bring your foot toes down. ◆Step 2: Open all your toes. ◆Step 3: Relax your toes.

If you don't do the above actions easily, you may have problems with imbalance in the internal and external muscles of the foot part because you have been neglected for a long time! It's okay, it's not too bad since now. It spends five minutes every day to do healthy exercises with your toes, making good use of the original and exquisite functional design of "it".

The foot is the second heart, and walking is the best medicine

Furthermore, it would be even better if it can develop a healthy exercise habit.

Thousands of years ago, walking was called "the best medicine in humans" by the father of medicine. In modern times, many research and regular walking plans can enhance the health of all parts of the body.

Many people use jogging as a long-term exercise, but in fact, running and walking are completely different steps. Running has jumping movements, and the two feet will leave at the same time, while walking has a relatively average pressure load, and the pressure load between the two is more than three times different. If you are worried that running will cause you to be overly burdened with the relationship, walking is still the best.

US President Eisenhower's attending physician Paul, the Department of Cardiology Surgery. Dr. Jute also proposed the saying that "foot is the second heart" - walking can bring blood from the lower limbs back to the body, just like the function of the heart; so-called aging of a person starts with two legs, and wearing two legs can prevent aging.

Try to think, which other movement can be comparable to walking? It is both financially burdened and energy-consuming (the human body has 600 muscles, most of which are concentrated in the lower body), and it can also disperse time and move at any time in life. The biggest difference between animals and plants is their ability to move, and the body is designed to move. To be alive, it should be like a whiskey ad - Keep Walking, let us start to embrace a better life by walking and moving our toes!
