Aging starts from the feet upward. For both old and young, during two weeks of inactivity, the legs muscle strength can weaken by a third which is equivalent to 20-30 years of ageing. Strong bones, strong muscles, and flexible joints form the “Iron Triangle” that carries the most important load on the human body. The largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are in the legs. The whole body weight/load remains and rests on the legs. 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. Interestingly, 50% of a person’s bones and 50% of the muscles are in the two legs. 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. As our leg muscles weaken, it will take a long time to recover, even if we do rehabilitation and exercises, later. 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. Bone fractures in the elderly can easily trigger a series of complications, especially fatal diseases such as brain thrombosis. Only by strengthening the legs, one can prevent further aging. Exercising the legs is never too late, even after the age of 60 years. The foot is the center of body locomotion, a kind of pillar, bearing the weight of the human body. 70% of human activity and burning of energy in one’s life is done by the two feet. Only when the feet are healthy then the convection current of blood flows smoothly, so people who have strong leg muscles will definitely have a strong heart. Although our feet/legs will gradually age with time, exercising our feet/legs is a life-long task. 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.
