*AGEING STARTS FEET UPWARDS*
*Keep your legs active & strong !!*
As we put on years & keep getting old on a daily basis , our feet must always remain active & strong. As we are constantly ageing / get aged, we should not be afraid of our hair turning grey (or) skin sagging ( or) wrinkles on face.
Among signs of *longevity*, long fit life as summarized by the popular US Magazine "Prevention", strong leg muscles are listed on the top, as *the most important & essential one.* Please walk daily.
If you don't move your legs for just two weeks, your real leg strength will decrease by 10 years. *Just walk*
A study from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark found that both old & young, during the two weeks of *inactivity*, the legs muscle strength can *weaken by a third* which is equivalent to 20-30 years of ageing !! *So just walk*
As our leg muscles weaken, it will take a long time to recover, even if we do rehabilitation & exercises, later. *WALK.*
Therefore, *regular exercise like walking, is very important*.
The whole body weight/ load remains and rest on the legs.
The *feet are a kind of pillars*, bearing the entire weight of the human body. *Walk daily.*
Interestingly, 50% of a person's bones & 50% of the muscles, are in the two legs. *Do walk*
The largest & strongest joints & bones of the human body are also in the legs. *10K steps a day*
Strong bones, strong muscles and flexible joints form the *Iron Triangle* that carries the most important load i.e. * the human body."*
70% of human activity and burning of energy in one's life is done by the two feet.
Do you know this ? When a person is young, his/ her *thighs have enough strength , to lift a small car of 800 kg !*
The *foot is the center of body locomotion*.
Both the legs together have 50% of the nerves of the human body, 50% of the blood vessels and 50% of the blood is flowing through them.
It is the largest circulatory network that connects the body. *So walk daily.*
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. Walk.
Aging starts from the feet upwards
As a person gets older, the accuracy & speed of transmission of instructions between the brain and the legs decreases, unlike when a person is young. *Please walk*
In 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. *WALK.*
Bone fractures in the elderly can easily trigger a series of complications, especially fatal diseases such as brain thrombosis.
Do you know that 15% of elderly patients generally, will die max. within a year of a thigh-bone fracture !! *Walk daily without fail*
Exercising the legs, is never too late, even after the age 60.
Although our feet & legs will gradually age with time, exercising the feet & legs is a life-long task. *Walk 10,000 steps*
Only by regular strengthening the legs, one can prevent or reduce further aging. *Walk 365 days*
Please walk for at least 30-40 minutes daily to ensure that your legs receive sufficient exercise and to ensure that your leg muscles remain healthy.
