One action a day can make you live at least 10 years longer

The world is a beautiful place, and everyone wants to enjoy the beauty of this world with their family and friends. But why is it that some people can live to be a hundred years old while others die young? Excluding the causes of the disease, most of them are related to acquired diet and exercise. Only by finding the right method to longevity can you live a long life. What we are going to talk about today is the longevity movement. This movement has been verified for thousands of years. Doing it regularly every day can extend your life by 10 years. So what is this movement?

1. Longevity Movement

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, written 2,500 years ago, mentioned: If the bones are straight and the tendons are soft, Qi and blood will flow naturally; if the tendons grow one inch longer, life will be extended by ten years. It is said that stretching can reposition bones, make tendons flexible, and allow blood to flow smoothly. Every inch the tendons are stretched can extend your life by 10 years. Having said that, we now know what this longevity action is. It's stretching!

Every inch your tendons are stretched can extend your life by 10 years.

2. The principle of stretching for longevity

From birth to aging, the tendons and meridians grow and atrophy. The atrophy of the tendons and meridians may lead to misalignment of the bones and blockage of the tendons and veins in the contracted areas. It is easy to experience numbness of the limbs, blood clots, pain, spinal curvature, etc. This is also the reason why elderly people lose height and become hunchbacked.

The direction of the twelve tendon meridians in the human body is the same as that of the meridians, so stretching is also a way to exercise the meridians of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine says that if the meridians are unobstructed, there will be no pain. Only when the meridians are unobstructed can the body be healthy and free from illness.

In addition, stretching helps to open up the Du meridian and bladder meridian in the back. The Du meridian is the "sea of ​​yang meridians" of the whole body. If the Du meridian is unobstructed, the kidney Qi will be sufficient. The kidney is the innate foundation and the source of essence. If the kidney function is strong and the Yang Qi is sufficient, people will be energetic and their lifespan will be extended.

The bladder meridian is the body's detoxification meridian and also a barrier for the body to resist cold. If the bladder meridian is unobstructed, cold air will be difficult to invade, detoxification will be smooth, the accumulation of toxins in the body will be reduced, and the body will be healthier and live longer.

In addition, stretching the leg meridians more often can help improve the liver meridian, spleen meridian and stomach meridian on the inner side of the legs. When these three tendons and meridians are unobstructed, the body will be unobstructed, the kidney function will be strong, and the body will be unobstructed.

However, stretching is also a way to diagnose diseases. If the liver meridian, spleen meridian, and stomach meridian on the inner side of the leg are different, it means that there is a problem in the body and needs to be checked and treated.

3. Why do people shrink muscles?

From birth to death, the tendons and meridians in the body are constantly changing. The atrophy of tendons and meridians is one of the causes of human illness, so why does atrophy of tendons and meridians occur?

1. How can muscles shrink if you don't exercise for a long time? Today's living conditions are good and the content of work is very different from that in ancient times. Modern people mainly sit in the office to work, and are lazy to exercise. This will lead to the lack of exercise of the body's tendons in the long run, causing tendon atrophy and leading to diseases.

In addition, modern people have many means of transportation and no longer need to walk, which further aggravates the phenomenon of inactivity.

2. Aging causes muscle atrophy. Aging is an inevitable problem for humans. We can only delay aging but cannot prevent this phenomenon from happening. Generally, with the increase of age, the tendons and meridians will experience fibrosis, adhesion, swelling, which will lead to atrophy of the tendons and meridians in the elderly.

3. Trauma and bad behavior lead to muscle shrinkage. Some accidents can injure the human bones, causing damage to the tendons. Although they have been treated, the injuries prevent the tendons from continuing to grow or stretch, leading to muscle shrinkage.

Excessive fatigue and failure to stretch the muscles and bones before exercise will cause damage to the tendons and meridians. In the later stages, the failure of the tendons and meridians to be stretched will also lead to muscle shrinkage.

4. What are the stretching exercises?

In fact, you don’t have to stretch deliberately. Many exercises can help with stretching. Yoga can exercise the body's flexibility. While doing yoga, you are also stretching, but yoga pays more attention to the coordination of movement and breathing.

In fact, you don’t have to stretch deliberately. Many exercises can help with stretching.

Dancing and stretching can also help stretch the muscles. Dancing is a whole-body exercise that focuses more on the coordination and beauty of the body. If we first stretch better with less exercise, then we only need to do separate stretching movements.
