When we are old, our feet must always remain strong. As we age, we should not be afraid of our hair turning grey or skin sagging or wrinkles appearing.
Among the signs of longevity, as summarized by the US Magazine “Prevention”, strong leg muscles  are listed right on top, as they hold the rest of the body.
If you do not move your legs for two weeks, your legs will lose strength which will decrease your age by 10 years.
A study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that for 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 aging.
As our leg muscles weaken, it will take a long time to recover, even if we do rehabilitation exercises later. Therefore, regular exercise like walking, is very important.
The whole body weight/load falls on the legs. The feet are kind of pillars, bearing the weight of the human body. Interestingly, 50% of a person’s bones and 50% of the muscles, are in the legs.
The largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are also in the legs.”Strong bones, strong muscles, and flexible joints form the “Iron Triangle” that carries the most important load on 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 thighs have enough strength to lift a small car! 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 flowing through them.
It is the large circulatory network that connects the body.
It’s only when the feet are healthy that the convention current of blood flows smoothly, so people who have strong leg muscles will definitely have a strong heart.
Aging starts from the feet upwards. As 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.
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.
Fractures in the elderly easily trigger series of complications, especially fatal diseases such as brain thrombosis.
Do you know that 15% of elderly patients die within a year of a thigh-bone fracture.
Exercising the legs, is never too late, even after the age of 60 years.
Although our feet gradually age with time, exercising our feet is a life-long task.
Only by strengthening the legs, can one prevent further aging.
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.
