\u25aa\ufe0fWhen we are old, our feet must always remain strong.
\u25aa\ufe0fWhen we gain ageing \/ grow aged, we should not be afraid of hair turning grey (or) his skin sagging (or) wrinkles.
\u25aa\ufe0fAmong the signs of *longevity, as summarized by the US Magazine “Prevention”, strong leg muscles are listed on the top, as the most important and essential one.
\u25aa\ufe0fDo not move your legs for two weeks & your leg strength will decrease by 10 years.
\u25aa\ufe0fA study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that both old and young, during the two weeks of *inactivity, the legs muscle strength got weakened by a third which is equivalent to 20-30 years of ageing.
\u25aa\ufe0fAs our leg muscles weaken, it will take a long time to recover, even if we do rehabilitation exercises, later.
\u25aa\ufe0fTherefore, regular exercise like walking, is very important.
\u25aa\ufe0fThe whole body weight\/load remain on legs.
\u25aa\ufe0fThe foot is a kind of *pillars, bearing the weight of the human body.
\u25aa\ufe0fInterestingly, 50% of a person’s bones and 50% of the muscles, are in the two legs.
\u25aa\ufe0fThe largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are also in the legs.
\u25aa\ufe0f”Strong bones, strong muscles, and flexible joints form the “Iron Triangle” that carries the most important load on the human body.”
\u25aa\ufe0f70% of human activity and burning of energy in one’s life, is done by the two feet.
\u25aa\ufe0fDo you know this? When a person is young, his *thighs have enough strengths, to lift a small car!
\u25aa\ufe0fThe foot is the *center of body locomotion.
\u25aa\ufe0fBoth the legs together have 50% of the nerves of the human body, 50% of the blood vessels and 50% of the blood flowing through them.
\u25aa\ufe0fIt is the large circulatory network that connects the body.
\u25aa\ufe0fOnly when the feet are healthy then the *convention current of blood flows, smoothly, so people who have strong leg muscles will definitely have a *strong heart.
\u25aa\ufe0fAging starts from the feet upwards.
\u25aa\ufe0fAs a person gets older, the accuracy and speed of transmission of instructions between the brain and the legs decreases, unlike when a person is young.
\u25aa\ufe0fIn addition, the so-called *Bone Fertilizer Calcium will sooner or later be lost with the passage of time, making the elderly more prone to bone fractures.
\u25aa\ufe0fFractures in the elderly easily *triggers series of complications, especially fatal diseases such as brain thrombosis.
\u25aa\ufe0fDo you know that 15% of elderly patients will die within a year of a thigh-bone fracture.
\u25aa\ufe0fExercising the legs, is never too late, even after the age of 60 years.
\u25aa\ufe0fAlthough our feet will gradually age with time, exercising our feet is a life-long task.
\u25aa\ufe0fOnly by strengthening the legs, *one can prevent further aging.
\u25aa\ufe0fPlease walk for *at least 30-40 minutes, daily to ensure that your legs receive sufficient exercise and to ensure that your leg muscleus remain healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
