It can slim your legs and dredge your meridians. Just "turn it" every day.

The simple action of rotating the ankle is not only helpful for warming up before exercise, but also has a good health care effect. Recently, the Japanese encyclopedia portal "Naver" summarized the benefits of ankle rotation.

Benefit 1: Correction of pelvis. Rotating the ankle can indirectly relax the hip joint and help correct the pelvis.

Benefit 2: Slimming and beautifying legs. Turning the ankle can also indirectly move and relax the knee joint, which is beneficial for correcting the crooked calf bones, eliminating excess fat in the calf, and achieving the effect of slimming the legs.

Benefit 3: Improve cold feet. Many people experience cold legs and feet in winter, which is often caused by poor blood circulation in the extremities of the legs and feet. Rotating your ankles more often can improve symptoms of cold feet.

Benefit 4: Clear the meridians. There are many meridians running through the ankle, such as the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and many important acupoints are distributed there, such as the Taixi acupoint. Turning the ankle can stimulate and dredge these acupoints and meridians, and has good health-care effects. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to do it frequently.

The ankle rotation exercise does not require a large space and can be performed while sitting, lying or standing. When sitting, you can lift one leg and rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise for a moment; when standing, you can support your body with one foot and stand on tiptoes with the other leg, rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise for a moment; when lying down, you can bend one leg at the knee and put the other leg on it as shown in the picture above, rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise for a moment, and then switch feet.
