Shake your legs, relieve fatigue and prevent aging

There is a Chinese saying that “men shake poor, women shake cheap”, which means that it is a bad habit for men and women to shake their legs often.

But in fact, office workers who have been sitting in the office for a long time often shake their legs when they are busy working, which is a good habit for health without affecting others.

“Simply standing for an hour often makes your legs feel more uncomfortable than walking for an hour. The same is true of sitting still for a long time.” Wang Jun, a doctor of sports physiology at Beijing Sport University, said, “sitting still for a long time will lead to blocked blood and blood, muscle relaxation, reduced elasticity, acid swelling of lower limbs, fatigue and weakness, and even affect blood circulation.” Shaking your legs properly can promote the venous blood flow, accelerate the blood reflux, and alleviate the feeling of acid swelling and fatigue. In addition, shaking legs can also burn leg fat and have a slimming effect. In addition to shaking your legs, patting your legs with both hands and standing up for a few steps can also achieve the above effects.

For the elderly, sitting for a long time and playing chess like this may also cause deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs. When they stand up suddenly, the thrombus may fall off and return to the heart with the vein, and then reach the lungs, causing fatal “pulmonary embolism”. Therefore, shaking your legs often has a good effect on preventing embolism.
