Everyone is curious about how to nourish the health. In the past, there was news that there was a hundred-year-old man in Pingtung Nepu. Her body was quite strong. Not only did she not have to support her, she could even walk 600 to 700 levels of 40 or 50 degrees. Her face was not red and she was breathless, making her neighbors strange. When she was asked about her secret of nurturing, she said that in addition to getting up at 5 a.m. every day, the most special thing was that she liked to walk without shoes, and walking with her feet became her own unique skill.
Just like the method of raising children in the above example, "barefoot" simply means not wearing croakers or shoes, but wearing slim feet. This concept began to behave in these years. Chinese doctor Lin Junyu pointed out that in fact, people in the primitive society originally used to punch red feet, but later it was because of the invention of shoes to protect the feet that people gradually became disliked to walk red feet. However, in countries such as European and Japanese, recently, it has become increasingly popular to think that red feet are healthy behaviors, and even turning into red feet is a leisure and fashion, and it is a good fitness method. This concept is incompatible with the concept of Chinese medicine.
"In fact, there are many benefits of red feet!" Lin Junyu said that not only can you often see red feet in the mountains and forests, but the red feet movement has also gradually moved in Taiwan in recent years. What is more popular is the "passive" sports foot massage. Not only do mainland tourists come to Taiwan to taste the delicious experience, but even Korean celebrities come to Taiwan and want to experience the popular foot SPA in Taiwan. It can be said that all those who have experienced it are good.
In fact, foot massage is a folk method, which emphasizes the passive movement. Whether it is active red foot movement or passive foot massage movement, the doctor proposed three advantages of barefoot exercise in Chinese medical views:
Massage the acupoints at the bottom of the foot to help the air and blood circulation
The human foot is a sports organ composed of bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves and other organs. According to statistics, adults have a total of 206 bones, of which 52 are on both feet. From this we can see how detailed the structure of the foot is. From the perspective of medical attention, the foot is at the end of the human body. Many body wastes may sink into the bottom of the foot through the circulation, which is not conducive to health. Through foot massage, harmful substances accumulated on the bottom of the foot can be decomposed, and these body wastes can be excreted from sweat and urine. In addition, according to the reflex principle of Chinese medicine, foot is the shrinking shadow of the human organs. There are quite a few acupoints at the bottom of the foot. These nerve ending acupoints are closely related to the brain, and each has corresponding internal organs. They are the reflex areas of all body organs in the human body. Therefore, foot is called "the second heart of the human body."
When people walk, run, and jump, the ends of the nerves on their feet can perceive the tiny unevenness of the ground in time. Foot massage is based on this principle. It is believed that often stimulating massage acupoints will have a certain auxiliary effect on promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, unblocking the veins, and promoting the renal relationship. It will help the human microcosm movements to facilitate the movement of the human body, so I often hear Chinese doctors suggesting that patients intentionally do red foot exercises, and take advantage of the opportunity to massage and stimulate and adjust various organs in the body, which will help physical health.
The grounding of red feet helps to improve the strength
The grounding is the energy in nature. Chinese news media once reported that a group of primary school students, under the teacher's lead, took off their shoes and jogged or walked briskly along the corridor. The teacher also said that after these children underwent a period of barefoot exercise training, most people felt that their bodies became stronger and stronger. Not only did they increase their height and weight, but the chance of catching a cold was greatly reduced. On the other side, they highly praised the benefits of red feet touching the ground to receive the ground.
Just like when climbing a mountaineer, sometimes he would take off his shoes and walk on the grass, feeling that his feet were free to touch the ground. Dr. Lin also mentioned that in the past, farmers had red feet in the fruit garden farms almost every day, and the human body was — a conductor, red feet stepped on the ground, which had a function of releasing electricity, which released the ineffective static electricity and abundant bioelectricity in the body, absorbing the atmosphere. It is beneficial to the health of the body. Later, the shoes blocked the land, so that the static electricity in the human body cannot be released, and it also destroyed the balance of human body's electricity. The ancients said, "People are born from the weather and are long after the earth's atmosphere." Remove shoes and barefoot directly touch the ground, which can not only massage the acupoints at the soles of the feet, but also connect to the earth. According to the Chinese medicine point, removing shoes and stepping on the land directly, following the laws of nature, and using the energy of nature to balance health, is the most convenient way to nourish.
Red foot activity helps the brain and feet health
The reflex areas of the foot bottom are quite dense, especially the toes that are more dense to the brain and the self-disciplined nerves. Therefore, as long as you pat or massage in a specific area, the blood circulation in the corresponding part can be increased through the reaction effect of the middle nerve, the blood flow in the brain can be increased, and the new neural cells can be promoted to generate flexible brain bags. In foreign countries, baby foot bottom massage is also implemented to improve the brain development of the baby through clear and gentle massage stimulation.
3 ethnic groups are easy to try "barefoot exercise"Before enjoying barefoot exercise, Ye Zichen, a doctor in the family medicine department, was particularly slapped. The barefoot exercise should go step by step. After all, the foot is already habitually protected by shoes, and suddenly it is necessary to touch the ground directly. Moreover, children, diabetics and skin disease do not recommend red foot exercise..
1. Patients with diabetes
Patients with long-term diabetes are prone to neuropathy changes in large and small blood vessels, nerves, tendons, etc., which reduces the protection of feet and the feeling of cold, heat, and pressure is not obvious. Therefore, even patients with external injuries are often not easy to detect. If you try to move red feet, the epithelium of the feet will be difficult to avoid in the early stage. Injury causes inflammatory reactions of red, kidney, heat and pain. If the patient does not pay attention, the wound may be seriously infected, damaged and dead, causing malignant or ulcerative ailments, and even diabetic dysitis and amputation. In addition, diabetic patients usually have narrow or obstructed blood vessels in the lower limbs, so the blood flow supply to the foot is significantly reduced, which is easier to cause the injury to the upper foot wound.
2. Patients with foot skin disease
As for patients with foot skin disease, they are not suitable for red foot movements, because these patients usually suffer from horn layers, which can easily cause damage to the feet due to bacterial infection. When red foot moves, the injury is more likely to worsen, or lead to the growth of tender skin, which is easy to appear. Injury, these are not conducive to the recovery of new skin. Dr. Ye pointed out that some people in the clinic will ask for some treatment remedies in the workshop. The most common ones heard include soaking in sea water, soaking vinegar or moving to the sand beach. In fact, these folk remedies are usually not proven by scientific research and are not recommended, especially when there are pointed sprouts in the sand, and it is even more likely to be lost if you are injured accidentally.
3. There are many data for underage children
that show that barefoot exercise has many benefits for the normal ankle development of children, so it sets off a trend that makes children run barefoot. In fact, if it is too early to make children run barefoot, it may be counterproductive because acute twisting, which hurts the child's feet. In addition, children are more careful about ground safety. In addition to preventing external injuries such as injury, the doctor specifically reminds that when a child is about three years old, the muscle strength of the foot will gradually mature. It should be at least three years old before trying to exercise the foot and not twist or get hurt.
