[Health-Infomation] Foot, the second Heart

ABOUT FOOT

The human foot is entangled with 26 bones, 32 muscles and tendons and 107 ligaments, a 'root of the body' that holds up only 2% of the body but holds the remaining 98%.

It is a place that endures a load equivalent to 1.5 times the weight of each walk, and it is the place that sends the blood received from the heart back to the heart, which is the farthest from the heart.,For this reason, the foot is called the 'second heart'.

But the feet are always hidden in socks and shoes, so they are easy to manage, and they are often neglected because they are relatively less sensitive than other body parts.

If your foot health deteriorates and your walking posture becomes strange, it may affect other joints or bones. Lack of exercise may lead to problems with your heart or lung function.

There are some tips for your foot health

1. Foot massage;

It is easy to feel tired because the feet are filled with small muscles, especially because the muscles are concentrated under the arch of the soles or between the toes, so it is helpful to concentrate this part.

It is good to have a foot massage in the heart direction from the foot.,If you have weak grip or tired hands, you can massage by putting a golf ball or a hard PET bottle on your soles and turning your feet.

2. Foot muscle strengthening exercise;

If the muscles that support the feet are healthy, the posture will not be easily distorted, and the foot can be well supported by fatigue or shock.

Foot muscle strengthening exercises that can be easily done at home include picking up the towel on the floor with your toes, moving your toes, pressing your toes, moving your feet up and down at the end of the stairs, and picking up a toe.

In order to strengthen the muscles around the calf or foot, it is better to lean against the wall, lean on the knee, flex your arms until the calf is pulled, stand on one foot and balance.

3. The right shoes;

As the foot occupies an important portion of the body, the proportion of shoes in foot health is also large.,If you do not choose the right shoes, your feet may become tired soon or foot diseases such as anorexia may occur.

To pick the right shoes, you should avoid shoes that are too tight or pointed at the front and tight.,The upper part of the shoe is soft and the bottom is well padding, and the material is good for shock relief with a height of 2.5 ~ 3cm.

Especially when you want to exercise long distance walking, jogging, running, etc., you must wear sneakers that are generous in size, support your calf on your feet, and are well-shocked.

4. Foot baths;

Dipping your feet in warm water helps relieve your feet' health as well as fatigue. Dipping your feet in warm water of 42 to 44 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes promotes blood circulation and relieves your muscles.

The water is good enough to lock the bone, and even if you do not have a foot bath, it is enough to soak your feet a little longer when you wash your feet.,When you are soaking your feet in water, you can increase the effect by gently moving your ankles.
