I. Tiptoeing, a recipe for health that has been around for more than 800 years

Tiptoeing has a long history and has been used since ancient times, called the "Dun Heel Method".
In the early Western Han Dynasty, it was written in the Book of Citation that "the heel should be dunned to benefit the chest".
The 800 year old Guiding Health Art, the Eight Duan Jin, also includes the exercise of tiptoeing.
What should I do to stand on my feet?
Just stand naturally with your arms down, feet slightly together, lift your heels to the maximum, hold this position for 2 seconds, and then balance your descent. The frequency of tiptoeing is controlled to 2-3 seconds once, each time for 1-5 minutes, and it is good to feel the soles of your feet slightly warm.
Tiptoe is a very good choice of aerobic exercise, and a single tiptoe can mobilize 8 muscles in the legs. In addition, there are many acupuncture points on the feet, especially on the heels of the feet, which are distributed with many meridians that are linked to various organs of the body, and regular tiptoeing is good for the operation of qi and blood on the meridians to achieve the effect of health maintenance.

2. What are the changes in the body when you tiptoe for ten minutes a day?

The tiptoe exercise is very simple and not limited by the venue, you can practice it anytime and anywhere.
1. Exercise the leg muscles
The tiptoe movement stimulates the leg muscles to contract and relax, which makes the blood in the legs more full, and plays the effect of exercising the muscles.
2, tonifies the kidneys and benefits the qi
In children, the lack of growth and retardation is associated with a lack of kidney qi. Tiptoeing stretches the leg meridians, promotes bone development in children, and promotes a tonifying effect on the kidney qi. In older people, the tiptoe movement has a stretching, bone-pulling effect that keeps muscles flexible and tough.
3, relieve back pain
Nowadays, many office workers are prone to back pain due to their sedentary offices and poor posture. And tiptoeing can improve this sign, help open the meridian qi and relieve the signs of pain.

5. Promote blood circulation
Frequent tiptoeing promotes blood circulation, boosts metabolism, gets rid of body waste and makes the whole person look good.

Three moments of tiptoeing have the same health benefits

Maybe some of you think that tiptoeing should be most effective when standing, but in fact tiptoeing on different occasions can be equally beneficial.
With your legs vertical, stand on your tiptoes or hook your toes and repeat 30-50 times. If you want to increase the difficulty, you can put two bottles of mineral water on your thighs for weight-bearing exercises. This movement is suitable for elderly people with limited mobility and can avoid falls.
Lying down, with both legs together and straight, hook your toes one by one, 20-30 times each time, 2-4 times a day. Lying down and hooking the toes helps blood circulation, eliminates swelling in the lower limbs and prevents venous thrombosis.
Tiptoeing while urinating can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles for women and help smooth urination for men.

Although tiptoeing is simple, it is important to note that it should never be done with too much force, as it can lead to heel pain. For those who are constantly sedentary, it is best to tiptoe for about an hour to help stimulate blood flow to the lower extremities.
The benefits of tiptoeing are such that it takes a long time to see the changes. So when you first start tiptoeing, you should not be overly aggressive or you will also increase the burden on your joints.
