💥💥💥SOME THURSDAY THOUGHT






*Aging starts from the 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 the 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 in 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 everyday.*

▪️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 / 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.*

▪️Only *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 of 60 years.*

▪️Although our feet/legs will gradually age with time, exercising our 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.
