Women stretch every day, and the effect is "visible"

Besides making your body more flexible, what other benefits does stretching have? Stretching is the cheapest exercise and is not restricted by any venue. You can even stretch while watching TV series. In addition, regular stretching can bring 6 benefits to the body.

Benefits of stretching: 1. Strengthen your body

The legs run through six meridians of the human body: liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidney, bladder, and stomach. The purpose of stretching is to remove the garbage in these meridians, thereby strengthening the body.

As the saying goes, “People’s legs age first”. If you insist on “stretching the three meridians”, your leg meridians will be unobstructed and your Qi and blood will flow smoothly, allowing you to stay youthful and feel as light as a swallow every day.

Benefits of stretching 2. Preventing back and leg pain

Stretching the muscles makes them soft and allows the misalignment of the spine to be corrected, so that "the bones are straight and the muscles are soft, and the qi and blood flow naturally". Pain, numbness, swelling and other symptoms in the waist, knees, limbs and all parts of the body are eliminated or alleviated.

Benefits of stretching 3. Strengthen kidney function

Stretching can open up the Du channel and bladder meridian in the back, which is of great significance to health, because the Du channel is the meeting point of all yang and the channel of vital energy. When this channel is unblocked, kidney function is strengthened. The kidney is the innate foundation and the source of essence and energy. A person's energy and sexual ability depend on strong kidney function.

Benefits of stretching 4. Enhance sexual function

Stretching softens and improves the liver, spleen and kidney meridians on the inner thigh. If these three meridians are unobstructed, a person's sexual function will be strong. Therefore, if men want to enhance their sexual ability or women want to cure various gynecological diseases, one of the simplest and most effective ways is stretching.

Benefits of stretching 5. Diagnosis of diseases

Stretching is both a treatment and a diagnosis. For example, if your knees hurt and cannot be straightened when you stretch, you have contracture; if you feel pain in your hips or popliteal fossa (back of the knee), it means your bladder meridian is blocked and you have a problem with your waist; if you lie down and raise your arms behind you and cannot touch the bench, it indicates shoulder periarthritis.

Benefits of stretching 6. Improve body metabolism

Stretching the body will improve the effect of basal metabolism, so those of you who are losing weight must make stretching a habit in your daily life! Stretching also helps lymph flow, so it can effectively eliminate foot edema and make the lines more beautiful.
