Keep your feet strong! *
As we age, our legs should always be stronger.
As we age, our hair will turn gray. The skin gets chipped. Wrinkles form on the skin. Do not be afraid to look at these.
The American journal "Prevention" lists the symptoms of longevity. The strong leg muscles are mentioned first.
Strong legs are very important and necessary for longevity.
If you do not move your legs for two weeks, the strength of your leg will decrease by 10 years.
According to a study conducted at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, if the elderly and young people are inactive for two weeks, the muscle strength of the legs may weaken by a third. This is equivalent to 20-30 years of age.
If our leg muscles weaken, even with strenuous exercise, they will take a very long time to regain strength.
Therefore, regular exercise such as walking or squatting is very important.
Our entire body weight / load is borne by our legs.
Legs are a type of pillar that supports the weight of the human body.
About 50 percent of a person's bones and 50 percent of their muscles are in both legs.
The largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are in the legs.
"Strong bones, strong muscles, flexible joints - form the iron triangle. They carry the most important load on the human body."
70% of human activities and 70% of energy burning in one's life is done by two legs only.
Did you know this? When a person is young, his thighs are strong enough to sleep in a small car!
The center of total movement of the body is the legs!
Both legs make up 50 percent of the nerves and 50 percent of the blood vessels in the human body. 50% of the blood flows through them.
It is a large circulatory network that connects the whole body.
When the feet are healthy, the blood flow is smooth. So those with strong leg muscles will definitely have a stronger heart.
The age of the human body starts upwards from the legs.
As a person ages, the accuracy and speed of transmitting messages between the brain and the legs decrease, unlike when he was younger.
In addition, the so-called bone marrow calcium is depleted sooner or later over time. Thus, the elderly are prone to fractures.
Fractures in the elderly can easily trigger a series of complications. Especially dangerous diseases such as brain thrombosis.
Did you know that 15% of elderly patients die within a year of a fracture?
It is never too late to get proper leg exercises after the age of 60.
Although our legs also gradually age over time, exercising our legs is a lifelong task.
By strengthening the legs, one can prevent further aging.
Get at least 35-45 minutes of walking daily to make sure your legs are getting enough exercise and your leg muscles are healthy and flexible.
